X and y-intercept of y=X-5

aksik [14]

The x-intercept is when y = 0
y = x - 5 → 0 = x - 5 → x = 5

The y-intercept is when x = 0
y = x - 5 → y = 0 - 5 → y = - 5

Answer: x-intercept is (5, 0), y-intercept is (0, -5)

A jar contains 45 red candies and 60 black candies. Suppose a candy is selected at random. What are the odds against selecting a

uysha [10]

Answer:

3:4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To work this out we need to find the highest multiple of 45 and 60.

15 is the largest number that goes into both of them so what we are going to do now is divide both number by 15.

45 divided by 15 = 3

60 divided by 15 = 4

Therefore the odds of selecting a red candy is 3:4.

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}$

2 years more than half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}+2$

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23$

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23$

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14$

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = $\frac{14}{2}+2$

= 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.
