<span>Amanda has 26 nickels and dimes. We shall call nickels x and dimes y. We can write the following equations: x = 3y -2 or -x +3y = 2 x + y = 26 We can cancel out the x to give 4y = 28 or y = 7 If there are 26 coins in total and 7 of them are dimes then there must be 19 nickels. The number of nickels (19) is two fewer than three times the number of dimes ( 3(7) - 2 = 19).</span>

Find the smallest solution to the equation 2/3 X² equals 24
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The smallest solution is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 x^2 = 24

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2 *2/3 x^2 = 24*3/2

x^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(36)

x = ±6

The smallest solution is -6

The largest solution is 6

Each line represents a proportional relationship. Write an equation for each line. Show your work.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The equation of line a is y = x

The equation of line b is y =  \frac{2}{3} x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the proportional is y = m x, where

  • m is the slope of the line (constant of proportionality)

The rule of the slope of a line is m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} , where

  • (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line

∵ Line a passes through points (0, 0) and (3, 3)

∴ x1 = 0 and y1 = 0

∴ x2 = 3 and y2 = 3

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above

∵ m = \frac{3-0}{3-0}=\frac{3}{3}

∴ m = 1

→ Substitute in the form of the equation above

∴ y = (1)x

∴ y = x

∴ The equation of line a is y = x

∵ Line b passes through points (0, 0) and (3, 2)

∴ x1 = 0 and y1 = 0

∴ x2 = 3 and y2 = 2

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above

∵ m = \frac{2-0}{3-0}=\frac{2}{3}

∴ m = \frac{2}{3}

→ Substitute in the form of the equation above

∴ y = (\frac{2}{3}) x

∴ y =  \frac{2}{3} x

∴ The equation of line b is y =  \frac{2}{3} x
