You and your friends are splitting the cost of some peaches at a roadside stand. the expression 3.5x/5 represents how much each person had to pay. based on this situation, how many friends do you have?

You have 4 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break our expression apart

- 3.5 is the cost of one peach

- is the number of peaches

So, the total cost of peaches is .

Now, the expression means that you are dividing the total cost of the peaches among you and your friends. The thing you are dividing by; in other words, the denominator of your fraction, 5, indicates how much you and your friends will pay for the total number of peaches.

Now, to find how many friends you have, you need to subtract 1 (you) from 5 (you and your friends):

Friends you have = 5 - 1

Friends you have = 4

We can conclude that you have 4 friends

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

b.-4 units

all you   do is count how many times you move
