The mass of a teapot and 4 cups is 1,280 grams. The mass of the same teapot and 10 cups is 2,720 grams. Each cup has the same mass. What is the mass of the teapot?

320 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mas of the teapot be denoted by a

Let the mass of the cups be denoted by c

The question can be turned into an equation which will be:

a + 4c = 1280 equation i

a + 10c = 2720 equation ii

Subtract equation i from ii

6c = 1440

c = 1440/6

c = 240 grams

The mas of the cup is 240 grams

From equation i

a + 4c = 1280

a + 4(240) = 1280

a + 960 = 1280

a = 1280 - 960

a = 320 grams

The mass of the teapot is 320 grams

$9.41

step-by-step explanation:

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
