  x = 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can examine the equations to see where the solution lies.

f(x) = (2/3) -x

This has an x-intercept where y=0, at x=2/3. It has a y-intercept where x=0, at y=2/3. Its slope is -1.

h(x) = 3 -2x

This has an x-intercept where y=0, at x=3/2. It has a y-intercept where x=0, at y=3. Its slope is -2.

__

In the first quadrant, the graph of h(x) is farther from the origin and steeper than the graph of f(x). The lines must cross in the 4th quadrant at some value of x that is greater than 3/2. The fraction in the definition of f(x) suggests that the solution will be a multiple of 1/3.

The attached table shows a couple of guesses at values of x that would make f(x) = h(x). We find that x = 7/3 is the solution we're looking for.

Repetitive function evaluations are done conveniently and with fewer errors by a calculator or spreadsheet that can work with tables of values. Here, we have used a graphing calculator. These tools are readily available for free on almost any phone, tablet, or desktop computer platform.

answer: the 4 kilogram bag

step-by-step explanation: this is because if you divide the number of kilograms into the total it will tell you how much each individual kilogram would be worth. 2 kilos is 7 and change 3 would be around 6 ish and the 4 kilo would be 4.6 and change and the 5 kilos would be like 4.88

76%

step-by-step explanation:

24% are dogs and the remaining is 76% because 100-24=76
