N=4/5(m+7);m literal equation

9514 1404 393

  m = 5/4N -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve this the same way you would if N were a number.

  N = 4/5(m +7) . . . . . . given

  5/4N = m +7 . . . . . . . multiply both sides by 5/4

  5/4N -7 = m . . . . . . . . subtract 7

The equation for m can be written as ...

  m = 5/4N -7

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
