Test results indicate that a woman is not pregnant when she is
Answer:
E. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's rewrite the equation in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
2x + y = 5
y = -2x+5
M, the slope, is -2
<u>5, b, is the y-intercept</u>

Answer:
large = 18 3/4 = 18.75
small = 13/2 = 6 1/2 = 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l = the weight of large boxes
s = weight of small boxes
2 large and 3 small weights 57
2l+3s = 57
6 large and 5 small wights 145
6l+5s = 145
Multiply the first equation by 3
3(2l+3s) = 57*3
6l +9s =171
Subtract the second equation
6l +9s =171
-6l -5s = -145
-----------------------
4s =26
Divide each side by 4
4s/4 = 26/4
s = 26/4 = 13/2
Substitute this into the first equation
2l +3s = 57
2l + 3(13/2) =57
Multiply by 2 to get rid of the fractions
2(2l + 3(13/2)) =57*2
4l + 39 = 114
Subtract 39 from each side
4l +39-39 = 114-39
4l =75
Divide by 4
4l/4 = 75/4
l = 75/4 = 18 3/4
