the answer to this problem is 4
Answer:
d. 16x² + y² = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form of an ellipse is:
x² / a² + y² / b² = 1
If b > a, the ellipse has a vertical orientation.
We can ignore options b and c, since they have minus signs in them.
Convert the other options to standard form:
a. x² / (1/16) + y² / (1/25) = 1
x² / (1/4)² + y² / (1/5)² = 1
1/4 > 1/5
d. x² + y² / 16 = 1
x² / 1² + y² / 4² = 1
1 < 4
e. x² / 16 + y² = 1
x² / 4² + y² / 1² = 1
4 > 1
Of these three options, only d is a vertical ellipse.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of helium balloons they can buy
- Write it out: 35 + 3.50x = 125
- Subtract 35 from each side, so it now looks like this: 3.50x = 90
- Divide each side by 3.50 to cancel out the 3.50 next to x. It should now look like this: x =
