Answer:

Part A. \frac{84.3y}{12} = 7 +\frac{0.1\cdot y}{4}

Part B. The correct quotient is (3 × 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A.

To divide 84.36 by 12 we look for the Highest Common Factor of the whole number and the decimal portions of the numerator and the denominator individually as follows;

\frac{84.36}{12} = \frac{84+0.3636}{12}  =  \frac{2 \times 2 \times 3  \times 7+0.01\times 12\times 3}{12} =  \frac{12  \times 7+0.03\times 12}{12}

Therefore, dividing 84.36 by 12 gives \frac{12  \times 7+0.03\times 12}{12} = 7+0.03 = 7.03

When dividing 84.3·y by 12, therefore, we have;

\frac{12  \times 7+0.3\times y}{12} = 7 +\frac{0.1\cdot y}{4}

Part B.

The correct quotient should have factors of the numerator

Therefore the divisor 12 should be represented as follows

\frac{12  \times 7+0.3\times y}{12} =\frac{12  \times 7+0.3\times y}{3 \times 4}

The correct quotient therefore = (3 × 4)

A bean plant grows at a constant rate for a month. After 10 days, the plant is 25 centimeters tall. After 20 days, the plant is
wariber [46]
Y = 2x + 5

If you take the height at 10 days, 25 centimeters, after 10 more days the height is 45 centimeters, meaning for those 10 extra days the been plant grown 20 centimeters. Since we're told the plant is growing at a constant rate, this shows the bean plant is growing 2 centimeters per day. We can represent this with y = 2x. (After 10 days, the bean plant will be 20 centimeters, after 20 days, the bean plant will be 40 centimeters, etc.)

However, this is not completely true yet. As you can see, after the first 10 days the plant is not 20 centimeter, it's 25 centimeters. We already know the rate in which the plant is changing, but now we need to find the height that the plant was originally, before it started growing.

After the first 10 days, the plant is 25 centimeters tall. Since we know that the plant is growing 2 centimeters per day, we can subtract 20 from 25 to find the original height of the bean plant.

25 - 20 = 5
The bean plant was originally 5 centimeters.

This makes our final equation y = 2x + 5.
2x is the slope, and 5 is the y intercept.

Not positively sure but I believe it goes like this

Answer: 9x+26+5x=180

14x+26=180

180-26=14x

14x=154

X=15

Find the slope of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points.
BARSIC [14]

Look carefully at the first pair:  (−3, 9), (−3, −5)  Note that x does not change, tho' y does.  This is how we recognize a vertical line (whose slope is undefined).  The equation of this vertical line is x = -3.

Looking at the second pair:  from (3,4) to (5,6), x increases by 2 and y by 2; thus, the slope is m = rise/run = 2/2 = 1.

Third pair:  as was the case with the first pair, x does not change here, and thus the equation of this (vertical) line is x=0 (which is the y-axis).  The slope is undefined.
