We have an equation: 5/? = 2/6

Cross multiply:
2*? = 5*6
⇒ ?= 5*6/2= 15

There were 15 trumpet players~

Determine the x and y intercepts<br>2x-3y=48​
qaws [65]

Answer:

x-intercept is 24 , y-intercept is -16

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The x-intercept is the x-coordinate of the point of intersection

 between the graph of the equation and the x-axis ⇒ (x , 0)

- To find the x-intercept substitute the value of y in the equation by 0

- The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point of intersection

 between the graph of the equation and the y-axis ⇒ (0 , y)

- To find the y-intercept substitute the value of x in the equation by 0

* Lets solve the problem

∵ 2x - 3y = 48

- To find the x-intercept substitute y by 0

∴ 2x - 3(0) = 48

∴ 2x = 48

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 24

∴ The graph intersects the x-axis at point (24 , 0)

* The x-intercept is 24

∵ 2x - 3y = 48

- To find the y-intercept substitute x by 0

∴ 2(0) - 3y = 48

∴ -3y = 48

- Divide both sides by -3

∴ y = -16

∴ The graph intersects the y-axis at point (0 , -16)

* The y-intercept is -16

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = 1?
Viktor [21]
Y = 1

Using y = mx + c.

Compare to y = 1,    y = 0x + 1 ,

We can see that the slope m = 0 and the vertical intercept, c = 1.

For the line perpendicular to  y = 1

Condition for perpendicularity  m₁m₂ = -1

m₁ = 0,  m₂ = ?

0*m₂ = -1

m₂ = -1/0 = Negative Infinite or Infinite

Slope of line perpendicular to y = 1, is  = Infinite.

Question 4 i need help on!!
MrMuchimi

Answer:

C  20

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up equations:

Laguna's Truck Rentals

y = 2x + 20

Where x is the number of miles driven and y is the total price

<em>How did we get to this equation?</em>

Well, the company charges $2 for every mile driven. Therefore, by multiplying 2 and x, you will find the price paid per mile. The 20 (which represents $20) is the one-time payment you pay for simply using the service.

Salvatori's Truck Rentals

y = 3x

Where x is the number of miles driven and y is the total price

<em>How did we get to this equation?</em>

For this company, you only pay for how many miles you drive. There isn't a one-time payment like there is for Laguna's Truck Rentals. Therefore, you only need to multiply the price per mile ($3) by the number of miles driven (x).

Set the equations equal to each other:

2x + 20 = 3x

<em>Why would you do this?</em>

We need to set the equations equal to each other because we need to find the point at which the prices are the same. When two things are the same, they are equal. Therefore, we get rid of the y variable (which represents the total price) because we want to find the value of x when the equations are equal to one another.

Solve:

2x + 20 = 3x

Subtract 2x on both sides:

2x + 20 = 3x

-2x           -2x

20 = x

When x is equal to 20, or when the number of miles driven is 20, the total price of the Truck Rental services is the same.

Hope this helps :)

How to show numbers are related to each other
ira [324]
Human and non-human species possess a mental system of number representations that appear early in the lifespan and that supports approximate number skills, such as numerical estimation or number comparison. With the later acquisition of language and of symbolic numbers, human beings also develop exact number skills that allow using numbers precisely, such as in counting and arithmetic. The current review points out the behavioral data which either support or challenge these contrasting proposals. In an attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of these mixed data, we carefully took into account the heterogeneity of the available studies regarding the kind of tasks, stimuli or ages of assessment. Also, you can show how the numbers are related simply by identifying the tenth place value of each digit.
