80=0.4*x => x=80/0.4=800/4=200
37. The absolute value symbol turns any negative number positive if it's within those brackets, so that's why the answer is positive. Hope this helped!
Answer:
<em>X ball bearings will be made in 1 hour and 20 minutes</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions
</u>
The proportions give us an important tool to easily solve common problems of any type. We know that:
Company ABC can make X ball bearings in 3 hours.
Company DEF can make X ball bearings in 4 hours.
Company GHI can make X ball bearings in 6 hours.
In one hour, each company can make
ABC: X/3 ball bearings
DEF: X/4 ball bearings
GHI: X/6 ball bearings
Working together, they can make
ball bearings. Operating
If they can make 3/4 of a ball bearing in one hour, then one complete ball bearing will need
hours to complete. It's equivalent to 1 1/3 hours or 1 hour and 20 minutes
X ball bearings will be made in 1 hour and 20 minutes
Let y=0 to find the x-intercept(s).
0=−3x−4
Add 4 to both sides.
4=−3x
Divide both sides by -3
-4/3 =x (fraction)
Switch sides.
x=−4/3 (fraction)
Let x=0 to find the y-intercept(s).
y=−3×0−4
Simplify
y=−4
