Patrick compared the slope of the function g(x) = -2x - 8 to the slope of the linear function shown in the table below. let m = the slope of g(x) and n = the slope of h(x).

which statement is true? choose all that apply.

a. m < n

b. m > n

c. m = n

d. both slopes have the same sign.

e. both slopes have different signs.

answer: what in the world is this

step-by-step explanation:

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)

the answer is a. 72. but i cant answer with less than 20 characters so here's some random text talking about it.
