At 9:00, Paula has x cups of food in a container. Pamula pours 2 1/2 cups of food into the container. Then she removes 3/4 cups of food to feed her dog. Now there are 5 1/4 of food in the container. What is the equation?

The equation representing the scenario is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of food in the container =

Amount of food added in the container =

We will now convert the mixed fraction into Improper fraction by Multiplying the whole number part by the fraction's denominator and then add that to the numerator  and then write the result on top of the denominator.

can be rewritten as

Amount of food added in the container =  

Amount of food removed from container to feed dog  =

Amount of food remaining =

can be Rewritten as =

Amount of food remaining =  

We need to write the equation for above scenario.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Amount of food remaining is equal to Amount of food in the container plus Amount of food added in the container minus Amount of food removed from container to feed dog.

framing in equation form we get;

Hence the equation representing the scenario is .

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1

after going and makeing graphs i would go with a,

there is nothing that is matches the graph. if there was i would show you. but therefore my answer is a.

hope i
