how many batches of raisin granola bars can emma make if she has 8/3 cups of raisins and each batch requires 2/3 cups of raisins?

In order to determine whether two expressions are equivalent to one another, they are equated using an equals to sign (=) and then simplified. Upon simplification, the expressions should yield a logical and true statement. For example, a simplified expression may present

2 = 2

If such a case is present, then we know that the expressions are indeed equal. However, if the two sides are not equal, lets say

2 = 3

Then the expressions are not equal.

By verifying expressions, we are usually able to cross check our solutions to problems and also determine whether the answer(s) obtained makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
