The answer is: 45 sandals.
_________________
Explanation: 
_________________
The ratio of:
__________________
shoes : sandals = 8:5
_____________________
We want to know how many SHOES were sold; if 72 sandals were sold.
__________________________
→ 8:5 = x:72 ; in which "x" = number of shoes were sold;
____________________
We can write this as:
___________________
→ 8 / 5 = x / 72; 
___________________
→ Cancel the "8" to a "1"; and change the "72" to a "9"; since "8 * 9 = 72" ;
______________________
→ and rewrite as:  1 / 5 = x / 9 ; 
____________________________
→ SInce "1/5" = 0.2 ; write as: 0.2 = x / 9 ↔  (0.2) x = 9 ;
__________________________
→ Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "(0.2)" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x' ; 
___________________________________
→ (0.2) x / (0.2) = 9 / (0.2) ; → to get: 45.
_____________
The answer is: 45 sandals.

(Note: Ratio of 45 shoes to 72 sandals)

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (8, - 14), thus

y = a(x - 8)² - 14

To find a substitute (5, 13) into the equation

13 = a(5 - 8)² - 14

13 = a(- 3)² - 14

13 = 9a - 14 ( add 14 to both sides )

27 = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = 3

Thus

y = 3(x - 8)² - 14 → C

Which graph best represents the equation created when the slope of y = 6x is changed to 0?
luda_lava [24]

The graph with an equation y = 6x has a slope of 6. If the slope is changed to 0, the equation becomes y = 0.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is in the form:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope (rate of change) and b is the y intercept

The graph with an equation y = 6x has a slope of 6. If the slope is changed to 0, the equation becomes y = 0.

What is the value of fraction 1 over 2x3 + 5.2y when x = 2 and y = 3?
mihalych1998 [28]
I think is 1/27.6 because 2x equals 4 and times 3 equals 12. 5.2y equals 15.6. Then 15.6 plus 12 equals 27.6.
