Answer:  The required number of houses is 200.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in a housing estate, the direct proportion of flats to houses is 2 : 5 and there are 80 flats.

We are to find the number of houses.

Let 2x and 5x represents the number of flats and houses respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

2x=80\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{80}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x=40.

Therefore, the number of houses is given by

5\times40=200.

Thus, the required number of houses is 200.

What are the X- and y- intercepts of the line? 2x + 3y = -12
Lera25 [3.4K]
Subtract 2x from both sides. 

3y = - 2x - 12

Divide every term by 3 to get the y-variable by itself.

y = - 2/3x - 4

Since the equation is not in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), your y-intercept is just the number in the b slot. Y-intercept is - 4 or (0, - 4).

Now to find your x-intercept, plug in 0 where the y-variable is and solve for x.

0 = - 2/3x - 4
4 = - 2/3x 

Multiply both sides by - 3/2 to isolate the variable. 

4(- 3/2) = x
- 12/2 = x
- 6 = x.

Your x-intercept is - 6 or (- 6, 0).

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Associative property of addition. Grouping different addends does not change the sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 2 + 3 = 5 + (2 + 3)

10 = 5 + (5)

10 = 10
