cluponka [151]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{3}(6x-3)-\frac{1}{4}(20x+8)=-6\\\\[Distribute the first fraction into the parenthesis.]\\((\frac{1}{3}*6x)-(\frac{1}{3}*3))-\frac{1}{4}(20x+8)=-6\\\\2x-1-\frac{1}{4}(20x+8)=-6\\\\[Distribute the second fraction into the parenthesis.]\\2x-1-((\frac{1}{4}*20x)+(\frac{1}{4}*8))=-6\\\\2x-1-5x-2=-6\\\\[Combine like terms.]\\-3x-3=-6\\\\[Add 3 to both sides.]\\-3x=-3\\\\[Divide both sides by -3.]\\x=1

The equation y = 2x + 1 is changed to y = 2x - 1. How does this change the graph of the line?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Y = 2x + 1
y = 2x - 1

so the 1st one has a y int of 1 and the second one has a y int of -1...so the original line will shift down 2 units

So y=mx+b
the 'm' part means the slope which is found by 'rise/run'
a. y=2x+3 or y=2x+3
b. y=-1x+6
c. i'm not sure what this part means
d. this means 'what values will work for x and y in both equations at once so
y=-x+6 and y=2x+3
y=-x+6
add x to both sides
x+y=6
subtitute 'y=2x+3' for y in x+y=6
x+(2x+3)=6
collect like terms
3x+3=6
subtract 3 from both sides
3x=3
divide both sides by 3
x=1
sibtitue into x+y=6
1+y=6
subtract 1 from both sides
y=5

(1,5) is the solution (x,y)


Question 2
so amount of peanuts (x) =60%
ammount of almonds (y)=40%
y=2(1/3x) or y=2/3x
so there is a mixture that is8/10 almonds
for
a. i'm not sure about this one
b. so 60% of 5 pounds=3 pounds
40% of 5 pounds=2pounds
we need to find out how many pounds, times 8/10, = 2pounds

 she will need 2.5 pounds of the pure peanuts and 2.5 pounds of the almond-peanut mixture

7 : 4

11 units (7+4) = 77
