Total number of books is obviously 9+6 = 15

Let m = #of math books and r=# of reading books.  Then m+r=15, where m and r are integers greater than zero.

Consider "9 math books" and "6 reading books."  The ratio of m to r is 9/6, 
or 3/2.

9 math books and 6 reading books could go on ONE shelf with no books left over.  But we wanted to determine the greatest number of bookshelves Andy could use.

TWO shelves would be inappropriate, since we'd have to divide both 9 and 6 by 2, and we'd end up with fractional books.  No good.

THREE shelves would work.  We'd have to divide both 9 and 6 by 3,
which would signify 3 math books and 2 reading books on each of THREE shelves.

Four, five and six shelves would not work.  Can you explain why?

It should be 3 bookshelves. You put 3 of the math books on each one, then two reading books on each one. Hope this helps

Solve the equation 8d – 4d – 6d – 8 = 2d A. 0 B. -4 C. -2 D. -4
skad [1K]
<span>8d – 4d – 6d – 8 = 2d

Combine common terms:
-2d - 8 = 2d

Add 2d to both sides:
-8 = 4d

Swtich sides:
4d = -8

Divide both sides by 4:
d = -2

Answer: - 2

What is the value of x in the diagram?
Molodets [167]

The answer would be 42 degrees because the total of a triangle is 180 degrees. So you would subtract 180 and 42 (180-42) and that gives you 138 and since the two angles that are touching are the same

Which career would most heavily involve geometric concepts?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Out of these careers, an engineer would be the most geometric involved career.

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer is true through the process of elimination. A stockbroker focuses on economy in order to choose the right stock. A statistician focuses on graphing and statistics in terms of math. An accountant is focused on simple math in order to deduct and add to the sum of the money. The engineer has to use geometry in order to design plans for constructions.

1. Write an equation for a line that has a slope of 4 and passes
marishachu [46]

Answer:

y = 4x+23

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 4x+b

Substitute the point into the equation

7 = 4(-4)+b

7 = -16+b

Add 16 to each side

7+16 = b

23 = b

y = 4x+23
