1. <span>Simplify -9 + -2m to -9 - 2m
-3m = -9 - 2m
2. </span><span>Add </span>2m <span>to both sides
-3m + 2m = -9
3. </span><span>Simplify -3m + 2m to -m
-m = -9
4. </span><span>Multiply both sides by </span><span><span>−<span>1
m = 9
Done! :) our answer is m = 9</span></span></span>
Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height
Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7
9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16
With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.
To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )
Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11
A) distributive is where it distributes a number through a set of parenthesis.
Answer:
Pierre has enough boards and nails to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
Step-by-step explanation:
13T+8C ≤ 220
Let us substitute 9 for T and 5 for C and check.
13(9) + 8(5) = 117 + 40
= 157 < 220
So, 220 wooden boards are sufficient to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
48T+37C ≤ 760
Substitute 9 for T and 5 for C.
48(9)+37(5) = 432 + 185
= 617 < 760
So, 760 nails are sufficient to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
Hence, Pierre has enough boards and nails to make 9 tables and 5 chairs.
