Using algebraic equations, the number of points Yael has is calculated as: 29 points.

<h3>How to Use Algebraic Equations to Solve Word Problems?</h3>

In the given world problem, we known the following:

E = Eric

S = Shenna

Y = Yael

Their total points would be: E + S + Y = 68

S = 2(E) (Shenna has twice the points of Erik)

Y = S + 3 (Yael has three points more than Shenna)

We would therefore have the following algebraic equation:

E + 2E + (S + 3) = 68

Substitute S with 2E

E + 2E + 2E + 3 = 68

Solve for E

5E + 3 = 68

5E = 68 - 3

5E = 65

5E/5 = 65/5

E = 13

Eric's points is: 13

Yael's points = Y = S + 3

Y = S + 3 = 2E + 3

Plug in the value of E

Y = 2(13) + 3

Y = 26 + 3

Y = 29

Yael has 29 points.

If 2 1/4 pounds of bananas cost $1.89, what is the cost per pound?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The cost per pound of bananas is $0.84.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to use the given information to set up a proportion and solve for the missing variable.  In this case, we know that the cost of 2 1/4 (or 2.25) bananas is $1.89.  Since they are asking for cost per pound, we can set up a ratio (fraction):

\frac{1.89}{2.25}=\frac{cost}{pounds}

Since the cost of bananas is the same regardless of the number of pounds, we can set up a proportion to find the cost for just one (1) pound:

\frac{1.89}{2.25}=\frac{x}{1}  Where 'x' is the cost.

Using cross-multiplication and division we get:  2.25x = 1.89.  Next, we use inverse operations to divide both sides by 2.25:  2.25x/2.25 = 1.89/2.25.  Solve:  x = 0.84 or $0.84 per pound.

Can someone please help me
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

y = -5/3x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

If lines are parallel they have the same slope m = -5/3. Just need to figure out the new y-intercept going through the point (-9, 8).

y = mx + b

8 = -5/3(-9) + b

8 = 15 + b

b = -7

Now use m and b to form new equation of parallel line.

y = mx + b

y = -5/3x -7

Need help fast will give brainiest
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The room is 41 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square at the very top is 16 meters because 4 * 4 is 16.

The rectangle at the bottom is 6 meters because 2 *3 is 6

And that leaves you with the rest which is

11 -4 = 7

8 + 4 is 12

then you add them two together and you get 19 meters.

the last part is adding everything up which is 16 + 6 + 19= 41

the room is 41 square meters

How do you tell wether a parabola graph has 2 solutions
mr_godi [17]
If the parabola line crosses the x-axis twice, then it has two solutions, or the maximum/minimum of it is a point on the x-axis that means it has two solutions as a double root.
