4p+6=t

2(2p+3)=t

t/4 - 3/2=p

t is the total number of pens and pencils.

Solve the equation. |3 − w| = −2

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Absolute value represents distance. Distances can't be negative.

So it's impossible to have |3-w| be some negative value.

Which is why $|3-w| = -2$ has no solutions

Find an equation of the parabola with vertex (-1, -5) and directrix x=-7.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Base on the vertex (h, k) and the distance p between vertex and directrix, the standard form of parabola is written as:

(x – h)^2 = 4*p(y – k)

We have (-1, -5) as vertex.

=> (x + 1)^2 = 4*p(y + 5)

Now, we find p:

The distance between (-1, -5) and x = -7 is calculated by:

|-1 -(-7)| = |6| = 6

=> (x + 1)^2 = 4*6(y + 5)

=> (x + 1)^2 = 24(y + 5)

Hope this helps!

2x - 3y = 8 // <br><br> Find y

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$y = -\frac{2}{3} x - \frac{8}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x - 3y = 8\\$

Isolate y

$-3y = 8-2x\\-3y = -2x+8$

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

$\frac{-3y}{-3} = \frac{2x}{-3} +\frac{8}{-3} \\\\y = -\frac{2}{3} x - \frac{8}{3}$

Danika signs up to work for 3 1/2 hours at the science fair. If each work shift is 3/4 hour, how many shifts will Danika work?

forsale [732]

namely, how many times does 3/4 go into 3½? Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{7}{2}\div \cfrac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{7}{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\cdot \cfrac{\stackrel{2}{~~\begin{matrix} 4 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}}{3}\implies \cfrac{14}{3}\implies 4\frac{2}{3}$
