Answer: x = 3.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

     We will set up a proportion to solve.

\displaystyle \frac{6 \text{ inches}}{16 \text{ feet}} =\frac{x \text{ inches}}{10 \text{ feet}}

     Now, we will cross multiply, simplify and isolate the variable to solve your math problem.

6 * 10 = 16 * x

60  = 16x

3.75 = x

x = 3.75 inches

Equation of the line contains the points (-3,2) and (5,-5)
makkiz [27]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have the following points through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 3,2)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 5, -5)

So the slope is:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {-5-2} {5 - (- 3)} = \frac {-7} {5 + 3} = - \frac {7} {8}

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

y = - \frac {7} {8} x + b

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

2 = - \frac {7} {8} (- 3) + b\\2 = \frac {21} {8} + b\\b = 2- \frac {21} {8}\\b = \frac {16-21} {8}\\b = - \frac {5} {8}

Finally, the equation is:

y = - \frac {7} {8} x- \frac {5} {8}

Answer:

y = - \frac {7} {8} x- \frac {5} {8}

Hugh bought some magazines that cost $3.95 each and some books that cost $8.95 each. He spent a total of $47.65. If Hugh bought
Klio2033 [76]
He bought 4 books.  

3.95m + 8.95b = 47.65

If he bought 3 magazines, m =3
(3.95)3 +8.95b = 47.65
11.85 + 8.95b =47.65
now we subtract 11.85 from both sides
8.95b = 35.80
we divide both sides by 8.95
b=4
Hugh bought 4 books.
