Answer:
They are taking 12 2 credit courses
The are taking 4 1 credit courses
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 1 credit courses
y = 2 credit courses
The number of courses is 16
x+y = 16
The number of credits is 28 so multiply the course by the number of credits
1x+2y=28
Subtract the first equation from the second equation
x+2y =28
-x-y=-16
-----------------
y = 12
They are taking 12 2 credit courses
We still need to find the 1 credit courses
x+y = 16
x+12= 16
Subtract 12 from each side
x-12-12 = 16-12
x =4
The are taking 4 1 credit courses
Answer:
The slope of the line would be -3/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's get this equation into the proper slope form:
2x - 3y - 5 = 0
2x - 3y + 3y - 5 = 0 + 3y
2x - 5 = 3y
(1/3)(2x - 5) = 3y * 1/3
2/3x - 5/3 = y
Since the slope is 2/3, we need to find the negative reciprocal of that number, which is -3/2.
The other end point is 0,4
Answer:
17/36
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find a common denominator, so the first common denominator for 4 and 9 is 36. 9x4=36, so we multiply 2 by 4, which equals 8. 4x9-36, so we multiply the 1 by 9, and get 9. Then we add the numerators, 8 and 9, and get 17. So it's 17/36
