Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The required relation is ...
7n = n^2 -8
0 = n^2 -7n -8 . . . . put in standard form
0 = (n -8)(n +1) . . . . factor
Solutions are n=8 and n=-1.
The negative solution is -1.
Answer:
Y= 1.5x
Step-by-step explanation:
What you would do is divide all of the minutes by the amount of pages to find how long for each rate for one page. (ex. 18/12, Michael reads 1 page in 1.5 minutes. 12/8, Michael reads 1 page in 1.5 minutes. 30/20, Michael reads one page in 1.5 minutes) Therefore, yes it is proportional, and the equation is y=1.5x (there is no y intercept)
I hope this will help
In this question a vital information has been provided. This information can be used for determining the answer to the question that is asked. It is given that 120% of a certain number is 360 pound. The 100% value of the number needs to be determined.
Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
120x/100 = 360
12x/10 = 360
12x = 360 * 10
12x = 3600
x = 3600/12
= 300
Now we can say that the 100% of the number or the actual number is 300 pounds. I hope the problem is clear to you and you can understand the trick involved in the question.
Answer:
Before we graph 
we know that the slope, mx, could be read as 
. To graph the the equation of the line, we begin at the point (0,0). From that point, because our rise is negative (-1), instead of moving upwards or vertically, we will move downards. Therefore, from point 0, we will vertically move downwards one time. Now, our point is on point -1 on the y-axis. Now, we have 2 as our run. From point -1, we move to the right two times. We land on point (2,-1). Because we need various points to graph this equation, we must continue on. In the end, the graph will look like the first graph given.
For the equation y = 2, the line will be plainly horizontal. Why? Because x has no value in the equation. The variable 
does not exist in this linear equation. Therefore, it will look like the second graph below. We graph this by plotting the point, (0,2), on the y-axis.
