$35 / $9.99 = 3.5 pairs of shorts

We have to round down because you cannot buy half a pair of shorts

The correct answer is 3 pairs of shorts.

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (5, -4) and has a slope of 34?

Alla [95]

One way to find the slope-intercept form is to plug the given values into point-slope form, y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}), where x_{1} and y_{1} are the coordinate points and m is the slope. Then, you solve for y.

y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1}) Plug in the values
y - (-4) = 34 (x - 5) Fix the minus negative four
y + 4 = 34 (x - 5) Use the Distributive Property
y + 4 = 34x - 170 Subtract 4 from both sides
y = 34x - 174

The slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through (5, -4) and has a slope of 34 is y = 34x - 174.

Zander read 13 3/4pages in 1/4 of an hour. Sydney read 43 1/3 pages in 2/3 of an hour. At these rates, would Zander or Sydney re

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

At these rates Sydney read 10 pages per hour more than Zander.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zander read $13\frac{3}{4}$ pages in $\frac{1}{4}$ of an hour.

Therefore, pages read by Zander in 1 hour = $\frac{\text{Total pages read}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

= $\frac{13\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}$

= $\frac{55}{4}\times \frac{4}{1}$

= 55 pages per hour

Sydney read $43\frac{1}{3}$ pages in $\frac{2}{3}$ of an hours.

Pages read by Sydney in 1 hour = $\frac{43\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3} }$

= $\frac{130}{3}\times \frac{3}{2}$

= 65 pages per hour

Therefore, number of pages read more by Sydney as compared to Zander,

= 65 - 55

= 10 pages per hour

At these rates Sydney read 10 pages per hour more than Zander.

In the inequality 6a+4b>10, what could be the possible value of a if b=2?

Arlecino [84]

We are given the following inequality:

$6a+4b>10$

If we replace b = 2, we get:

$\begin{gathered} 6a+4(2)>10 \\ 6a+8>10 \end{gathered}$

Now we solve for "a" first by subtracting 8 on both sides:

$\begin{gathered} 6a+8-8>10-8 \\ 6a>2 \end{gathered}$

Now we divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6a}{6}>\frac{2}{6}$

Simplifying:

$a>\frac{1}{3}$

Therefore, for b = 2, the possible values of "a" are those that are greater than 1/3
