A.  12*x + 2*y = 90
       6*x + 2*y = 60

To write system of equation you just need to sum all solo and ensemble acts and make it equal to how much they will last for.

B.  Here we can multiply second equation with negative 1 and add it to first equation.
6x = 30
x = 5

now we replace x in any of 2 equations to get y.
30+2y = 60
2y = 30
y=15

Solo acts are 5 minutes long and ensemble acts are 15 minutes long

Given that 7x - 3y = 23
Triss [41]
7x - 3(-2) = 23
7x - - 6 = 23 (two minuses make a plus)
so it’s gonna be 7x + 6 = 23
Now you have isolate you x, so move everything else to the other side, but remember to change your sign when transferring to the other side

7x = 23 - 6
7x = 17
To isolate x in this multiple, you divide by 7 (because the inverse of multiplication is division)
x = 17/7

Find the slope of the line containing the points in the table below
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose any two points: For example, (2, 4) and (4, 10)

Find the difference in y. This is called the "rise."

rise = 10 - 4 = 6

In the same order, find the difference in x. this is called the "run."

run = 4 - 2 = 2

slope = rise/run

slope = 6/2

slope = 3
