Let the capacity of the large pitcher be L cups and the capacity of the small pitcher be S cups.1) L+2S = 8 "Two small pitchers (2S) and one large pitcher (L) can hold 8 cups of water."2) L-S = 2 "One large pitcher (L) minus one small pitcher (S) constitute 2 cups of water."Solve equation 2) for L---> (L = S+2) and substitue into equation 1) to get:1a) (S+2)+2S = 8 Solve for S.
1b) 3S+2 = 8 Subtract 2 from both sides.1c) 3S = 6 Divide both sides by 3.1d) S = 2 andL = S+2L = 2+2 = 4The large pitcher can hold 4 cups.The small pitcher can hold 2 cups.

Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y = mx + b

m being the slope, rise over run. And b being the y-intercept. Right off the bat we can visually see the y-intercept is -4.

To find slope, we need to take two sets of coords and apply the slope fomula. The slope fomula is change in y divided by the change in x. The function itself is straight, so that means the slope will be the exact same no matter which points you choose.

(4, -1) and (8, 2) are coords on the line. Do 2 - (-1) to get 3. then do 8 - 4 to get 4. Finally, we just gotta do 3/4 which is simply \frac{3}{4}.

We have the slope of 3/4 and we have the y-intercept of -4. Just plug it in the standard formula of y = mx + b to get:

y=\frac{3}{4} x-4

What is the simplest form of 9/24, 14/24, 10/15, 10/12,18/27 and 10/15?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
S.F. of 9/24 = 3/8
S.F. of 14/24 = 7/12
S.F. of 10/15 = 2/3
S.F. of 10/12 = 5/6
S.F. of 18/27 = 2/3
S.F. of 10/15 = 2/3

Hope this helps!
