so if you are asking for the distance do y2-y1/x2-x1
0-12/3-0
-12/3=-4
so -4 units
The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).
3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>
The answer to your question is, The pool dropped 1.38/16 inches per hour.
Answer:
x-intercept = 12, y-intercept = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x and y intercept, substitute 0 in for both values.
<u>Substitute 0 into x:</u>
2(0) + 6y = 24
6y = 24
<u>Divide each side by 6:</u>
y = 4
<u>Substitute 0 into y:</u>
2x + 6(0) = 24
2x = 24
<u>Divide each side by 2:</u>
x = 12
