This is essentially asking how many different ways to partition 6 into 3 segments.
I am assuming "no ball in a box" is not allowed.
6 can be partitioned as
(4,1,1), (3,2,1), and (2,2,2)
So, calculate each partition, we get
(6 choose 4) + (6 choose 3)*(3 choose 2) + (6 choose 2) * (4 choose 2)
= 15 + 20*3 + 15*6
=165
Answer:
standard showerhead in Andrew's house dispenses 8 gallons of water per minute. Andrew changed this shower head to an energy-saving one. The equation shows the amount of water dispensed, y, as a function of the number of minutes, x, for the new shower head.
y = 3x
Answer:
e. 2x - 7y = 31.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want a line parallel to the equation, the line must have the same slope.
2x - 7y = 9
-7y = -2x + 9
y = 2/7x - 9/7
You are looking for a line where the slope is 2/7.
a. Slope is 7/2.
b. Slope is -7/2.
c. Slope is 7/2.
d. Slope is...
y + 2 = 3/4x + 3
y = 3/4x + 1
Slope is 3/4.
e. Slope is -2/-7, which is 2/7. Just make sure to check whether it passes through (5, -3) by substituting those points into the equation.
2 * 5 - 7 * -3 = 31
10 --21 = 31
10 + 21 = 31
And there's your answer: e.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
0.35m + 25 = 42.50
Step-by-step explanation:
If you were to rent a truck for one day you will first have to pay a $25 fee for one day. This is represented by + 25 in the equation above.
Then for every mile you go you must pay $0.35, represented as 0.35m.
<em>As an example to make it easier if you had to pay 1 dollar per mile and you went 10 miles it would cost $10. This can be proved by 1m (m being the variable for number of miles) Plug in 10 for m and you can asee 1(10)=10, because obviously 1 times 10 is 10. </em>
Same premise with $0.35
Then both of those fees added up are equal to a total of $42.50.
To prove it can find the exact number of miles that need to be driven to cost a total of $42.50 just follow steps bellow.
1. 0.35m + 25 - 25 = 42.50 - 25
Subtracting the inital fee since it is part of the total, and if you add/subtract/multiply/divide on one side you must do to the other.
2. 0.35m/0.35 = 17.50/0.35
You divide because m is being multiplied with 0.35 and to undo the multiplication you divide. Doing the same to both sides.
3. m = 50
Plug in 50 to "m" in the equation above and if both sides are equal the answer is valid.
