Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of the line can be found using the slope intercept form
y = mx +b
y= -3/2 x + 3
x intercept is found by setting y=0 bc that will give you the x-value at which the line crosses the x -axis so
0 = -3/2x+3 (subtract the 3 on both sides) would cancel out the + 3 and would
-3 = -3/2 x (divide by -3/2 on both sides to cancel out the -3/2)
x = 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so he is incorrect.
Let x = Pacific Paradise
You can set up the equation like this:
x + (3x - 25) + (x + 18) = 928
(Combine like-terms)
5x - 7 = 928
(Add 7 to both sides)
5x = 935
(divide by 5 to both sides)
x = 187 (# of deluxe staterooms Pacific Paradise)
Next to find the # of deluxe staterooms of the other cruise ships create two equations
Let y = Carribean Paradise
x + 18 = y
(plug in the value of x which is 187)
187 + 18 = y
(combine like-terms)
205 = y (# of deluxe staterooms Carribean Paradise)
Let z = Mediterranean Paradise
3x - 25 = z
(plug in the value of x which is 187)
3(187) - 25 = z
(follow PEMDAS to simplify and combine like-terms)
536 = z (# of deluxe staterooms Mediterranean Paradise)
Finally check your answer by adding up all of your answers to make sure it equals 928
536 + 205 + 187 = ? (928!)
