Answer:
y=3x+18
Step-by-step explanation:
Since slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, we first need to find the slope.
m=y2-y1/x2-x1
m=0-(-9)/-6-(-9)
m=9/3=3
Next we need to find b, or the y-intercept
to do that we plug in numbers to what we already have.
y=3x+b
0=-18+b
b=18
Now we put it all together.
<h3>y=3x+18</h3>
Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Answer: His checking account balance is $2,800.
Step-by-step explanation: What Hayden is doing is comparing his assets against his liabilities. This will determine his net worth. His assets ideally are those that increase his net worth such as landed properties, etc while his liabilities in the simplest language are those debts he is paying off either right away, or that he must pay off eventually.
In other words, to determine his net worth, Hayden has to add up all his assets and from the total derived, deduct his liabilities.
Consider the calculations below;
NET WORTH: $17,550
Add ASSETS
Automobile 13600
Retirement Account 6700
Checking Account XX
Less LIABILITIES
Student Loan 4800
Credit card debt 750
Net Worth <u>17550</u>
The above table can be simplified as follows;
Net worth = Assets - Liabilities
17550 = 20300 + XX - 5550
Collecting like terms, you now have;
17550 -20300 +5550 = XX
2800 = XX
The Checking Account represented by XX is now calculated as $2,800
30% can also be written as .3, which is easier to use in this case.
To find how many just sat around, multiply the number of people by the percentage of how many just sat around.
1400*.3=420
