He brought 12 boxes (dozen) with 24 pens.. okay and each are 8 bucks. 24 x 12 = 288 (pens total)
12 x 8 = $96 (spent total)

6 pens = one package for $3
288 pens divided by 6 ... = 48 packages
48 x 3 = $144 (sold total)

144-96 = $48 (profit)

Write an equation of a line parallel to y = 5x + 4 that passes through (-1, 2)
nikitadnepr [17]

The equation of a line parallel to y = 5x + 4 that passes through (-1 , 2) is y = 5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel lines have:

  • Same slopes
  • Different y-intercepts

The form of the linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept

∵ The equation of the given line is y = 5x + 4

∴ m = 5 and b = 4

∵ The two lines are parallel

∴ Their slopes are equal

∴ The slope of the parallel line = 5

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∴ y = 5x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of any point on the line

∵ The parallel line passes through point (-1 , 2)

∴ x = -1 and y = 2

∵ 2 = 5(-1) + b

∴ 2 = -5 + b

- Add 5 to both sides

∴ 7 = b

- Substitute the value of b in the equation

∴ y = 5x + 7

The equation of a line parallel to y = 5x + 4 that passes through (-1 , 2) is y = 5x + 7

Twice the difference of three less than a number.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

the answer would be 2(3-x)

Step-by-step explanation:

x would be the number that is given and since it says twice than 2 would be outside the parenthesis since the main equation would be inside the parenthesis

Write parametric equations of the line with the equation 4x-6y=-12<br><br> HELP FAST
zimovet [89]

Answer: x = t, y = 2t/3 + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to write both x and y in terms of t

so if you rearrange 4x - 6y = -12 you get

-6y = -4x - 12

6y  = 4x + 12

y = 2x/3 + 2

set x = t

and y = 2t/3 + 2

and that's it!

another one you could do is

x = t/2

y = t/3 + 2

or even

x = 3t/2

y = t + 2

i like this one the most because it looks more elegant

2.8 meters linen divided into 45 cm pieces = # of pieces and waste
pogonyaev
2.8 meter= 2800cms

To solve this, we can create a simple algebraic equation:
45x=2800
Divide both sides by 45.
(45x)/45=(2800)/45
x=62.222

You can make 62 full pieces.

To find the waste, multiply the numbers of pieces by the length of each.
62*45
=2790
2800-<span>2790
=10 centimeters

There would be 10 centimeters of wasted linen.

Hope this helps!
