6 minivans are needed to take (i think I'm real bad at math)
Answer:
A) 3.5
16 shovels full
Step-by-step explanation:
9x + 13 = 17x - 15
8x = 28
x = 3.5
20 + 5x = 32 + 4.25x
0.75x = 12
x = 16
Answer:
Its value is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use order of operations, PEMDAS.
The parentheses are worked out first:-
(5 - 3) X 2 + 6
= 2 X 2 + 6
Now the multiplication:-
= 4 + 6
= 10 (answer).
To find the intersection points, you take x^2 - 4x + 9 = -2x + 17
This gives x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0,
which factorises to (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0, giving the solutions x = 4 or x = -2
From the graph, we can see that x is positive, meaning x = 4, so a = 4.
Substituting x = 4 into y = -2x + 17, we get y = -2(4) + 17 = 9, so b = 9.
a + b = 4 + 9 = 13. The answer is B.
