Answer: at most 15 pairs of socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pair of socks of her sister be x , and let the number of pairs Lucy has be y.

Since , Lucy has 4 more than 1/3 the number of pairs of socks as her sister, this means that

\frac{1}{3}x + 4 = y    .............................. equation 1

Also ,  Lucy has at most 9 pairs of socks , this means that

y\leq 9 ....................................... equation 2

Equating the two equations , we have

\frac{1}{3}x + 4 \leq 9

multiply through by 3

x + 12\leq 27

subtract 12 from both sides

x\leq 15

Therefore , the sister has at most 15 pairs of socks

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS, WHOEVER DOES WILL EARN 100 PTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Monica [59]

Step-by-step explanation:

(Assuming that this triangle is isosceles)

If this triangle is isosceles, then x° is going to be equal to its twin angle; 40°.

We can solve for z now.

180 = 40 + 40 + z

180 = 80 + z

Subtract 80 from both sides.

100 = z

z = 100°

Now that we know z = 100 degrees, we can begin to solve the expression (3x -20)

The expression sits on a 180° line and the angle z (100°) shares the line with the expression (3x - 20)°

180 = 100 + (3x - 20)

Subtract 100 from both sides.

80 = 3x - 20

Add 20 to both sides to isolate 3x

100 = 3x

Divide by 3 on both sides.

100/3 = 3x/3

33.33... = x

Over [174]
Y= 13 over 10x + 2 is the answer. The most important thing to remember when finding the slope of the line is RISE over RUN. When you rise, you go up or down. When you run, you go right or left. Think of RISE over RUN as a fraction.

You find two points on the line and you count up/down a certain amount of spaces, and right/left a certain amount of spaces to go from one point to the other point.

In this equation, we could use the point on the y-axis and the last point we see on the graph located at (10,15). You count up/down vertically first until you reach the horizontal line that the point is on. Then, you count the amount of spaces horizontally it takes you to reach the point. In this problem, you move up 13 spaces, and move to the right 10 spaces. This as a fraction will be 13 over 10, because we rose 13 spaces and we ran 10 spaces to get to our second point. The y-intercept will be the only number that is on the y-axis, which is 2.

Answer:

c = 40d+20

Step-by-step explanation:

He has to pay 20 dollars and that can't multiply so the forty has to multiply and it would have to be by d because c is the total cost
