Alright smart people, I need your help :) A food pantry is making packages. Each package weighs 64 pounds. Each package contains 4 boxes. Each box contains a 7-pound bag of beans and a bag of rice. The bags of rice are all identical.
Write an equation to represent the situation. If you get stuck, try drawing a diagram. And solve your equation.

The answer is 9.

64lbs = 4 boxes

7*4 = 28

64 - 28= 36

Each bag of rice weighs 9 pounds.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
