Answer:

Sue is 6 and Mary is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

let Sue's age be x then Mary is x + 4 and the sum of their ages is

x + x + 4 = 16

2x + 4 = 16 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

x + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

then Mary is 10 and Sue is 6

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A shopper paid $2.52 for 4.5 pounds of potatoes. This means that the unit price for each potato would be

2.52/4.5 = 0.55556

Approximately $0.6 per pound.

The shopper paid $7.75 for 2.5 pounds of broccoli. This means that the unit price for each broccoli would be

7.75/2.5 = $3.1 per pound.

The shopper paid $2.45 for 2.5 pounds of pears. This means that the unit price for each pear would be

2.45/2.5 = $0.98 per pound

Can you answer these please many thanks

Given: (a) $2(x+3)=2x+6$ and (b) $4(y-3)=4y-12$ .

To find: The expanded form of the given expressions.

(d) $3(5-q)=15-3q$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(e) $5(2c+1)=10c+5$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(f) $3(2x-5)=6x-15$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(g) $7(4b-1)=28b-7$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(h) $3(2x+y-5)=3((2x+y)-5)$

⇒ $3(2x+y-5)=3(2x+y)-15$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

⇒ $3(2x+y-5)=6x+3y-15$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(i) $2(6a-4b+3)=2((6a-4b)+3)$

⇒ $2(6a-4b+3)=2(6a-4b)+6$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

⇒ $2(6a-4b+3)=12a-8b+6$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(j) $6(m+n+p)=6((m+n)+p)$

⇒ $6(m+n+p)=6(m+n)+6p$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

⇒ $6(m+n+p)=6m+6n+6p$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(k) $y(y+2)=y^2+2y$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(l) $g(g-3)=g^2-3g$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(m) $n(4-n)=4n-n^2$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(n) $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(o) $s(3s-4)=3s^2-4s$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(p) $2x(x+5)=2x^2+10x$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(q) $4y(x-3)=4xy-12y$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(r) $5a(2b-5)=10ab-25a$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(s) $4a(3b+2c)=12ab+8ac$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(t) $5p(4p-5q)=20p^2-25pq$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation 3y=-4x+2?

Zarrin [17]

The slopes of lines perpendicular to each other are opposite reciprocals. So, if you are given that the slope of a line is 3 and need to find the slope of a line perpendicular to that line, you'd flip that number around and negate it, leaving you with -1/3.

To find the slope of the given line, first get it into slope-intercept form (y - mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).

3y = -4x + 2
y = -4/3x + 2/3

The slope is -4/3. To find the slope of a perpendicular line, find its opposite reciprocal. It is 3/4.

Answer:
3/4 (the first option)
