<u>Answer:</u>

The 2 million bats will consume 20 tons of insects in the city of Austin

<u>Solution:</u>

The population of the bats increases to 2 million in the city of Austin

We have to find about how many insects would they consume?

Now, according to given information  

1.5 million bats ⇒ 15 tons of insects  

Now, 2 million bats ⇒ x tons of insects

Then by chris cross method  

1.5 \times x = 15 \times 2

x \times \frac{15}{10}=15 \times 2

\begin{array}{l}{x \times 15=15 \times 2 \times 10} \\\\ {x=2 \times 10=20}\end{array}

Hence, the 2 million bats will consume 20 tons of insects.

Write the slope and y-intercept of this linear equation: 3y + 6 = –2x
netineya [11]

Answer:

slope = -2/3

y-intercept = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3y + 6 = -2x

Conver to slope intercept form

3y = -2x - 6

y = -2/3x - 2

Follow the form y = mx + b, so m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y intercept is -6

the slope is already in it's fraction form but if you want it back to whole number it's y=1.33x-6

the slope is positive

Some plots you can put are (6, 2) and (12, 10)

Just start at (0, -6) and counts 4 up and 3 right

The degree measure of an angle and its supplement are consecutive odd integers. Find the measure of each angle.
Daniel [21]

Answer:

89

91

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary means the pair of angles that have this relationship add up to 180 degrees.

If you assume n is odd, then the very next odd number is n+2.

Example 5 is odd and the next odd number after 5 is 7. This fits the pattern of n and n+2 when n=5.

So we are given the degree measurement of an angle and it's supplement are consecutive odd integers.

So let's pretend the supplement of A is B. This means A+B=180.

We are also given A and B are consecutive odd integers, so this means we are going to let A=n and B=n+2.

Let's put this into our equation for A+B=180:

(n)+(n+2)=180

n  + n+2 =180

2n     +2 =180

Subtract 2 on both sides:

2n          =178

Divide both sides by 2:

 n           =178/2

Simplify right hand side:

 n           =89

If n=89, then n+2=89+2=91.

Does 89+91=180? Yep.

Are 89 and 91 consecutive odd numbers?  Yep.  

Here are some consecutive numbers including those: 89,90,91

Yes 91 is the next odd number after 89.
