the slope of a line is 3/2 and the line contains the points (5,9) and (3, a). what is the value of a?

1 answer:

7 0

Y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
(5,9)...x = 5 and y = 9
now we sub and find b, the y int
9 = 3/2(5) + b
9 = 15/2 + b
9 - 15/2 = b
18/2 - 15/2 = b
3/2 = b
so ur equation is : y = 3/2x + 3/2.........(3,a)....so x = 3

y = 3/2(3) + 3/2
y = 9/2 + 3/2
y = 12/2
y = 6

so ur missing value is 6...a (or y) = 6

Chong thinks of a Number adds 10 and then multiplies the number so obtained by 3, and get 42. If the number is n then write an e

eimsori [14]

Answer:

The equation for this is: $3(n+10) = 42$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the number though is n.

Adds 10:

This means that now we have: $n + 10$

Multiplies by 3:

This means that now we have: $3(n+10)$

Gets 42:

This means that: $3(n+10) = 42$

1- un tinaco se llena en 8 horas utilizando 4 llaves. en cuanto tiempo se llenara con 7 llaves?

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: 4.6 horas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Podemos calcular el tiempo necesario por una llave:

si sabemos que se llena en 8 horas con 4 llaves, entonces una sola llave va a tardar 4 veces 8 horas en llenar el tinaco, es decir, una sola llave tarda:

4*8h = 32 horas

ahora, si usamos 7 llaves, el tiempo necesario va a ser un septimo de eso:

(32 h por llave)/(7 llaves) = 32/7 horas = 4.6 horas.
