if Malachy gets £44 then Paul get $55.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malachy and Paul win some money and share it in the ratio = 4:5

if Malachy gets £44 we need to find how much did Paul get?

let Paul get x so, we will have

4:5=44:x

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{44}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve:

$4x=44*5\\x=\frac{44*5}{4}\\x=55$

So, Paul get $55

A line with slope -2/3 passes through the point (-12,16) What is the X-intercept

Troyanec [42]

to find the x-intercept of a function, we simply set y = 0 and then solve for "x", so, let's first find the equation of it and then set y = 0.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-12}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{16})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies-\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}[x-(-12)] \\\\\\ y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+12)\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{y}{\downarrow }}{0}-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}x-8\implies -8=-\cfrac{2x}{3} \\\\\\ -24=-2x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-2}=x\implies 12=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (12,0) ~\hfill$

Mrs. Zabel, the yearbook adviser, always likes to sell a large amount of yearbooks because after the initial set-up costs are pa

mart [117]

(50,45)(125,37.50)
slope(m) = (37.50 - 45) / (125 - 50) = -7.5/75 = -0.1

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.1
(50,45)...x = 50 and y = 45
now we sub and find b, the y int
45 = -0.1(50) + b
45 = - 5 + b
45 + 5 = b
50 = b

so ur equation is : y = -0.1x + 50

so it the staff sells 150 yearbooks...
y = -0.1x + 50
y = -0.1(150) + 50
y = -15 + 50
y = 35 <== price per yearbook

At Gamestop you can buy a Xbox One for $150 and each game to go with it would cost $24. Or, you can buy a Playstation 4 for $180

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Xbox One is the better console to buy.

Adding the game console for $150.00 with 7 games costing 24, they will cost you $318.00

While the PlayStation 4 with the 7 games cost a total of $320.00
