Answer:

1/4 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum error is half the "rounded to" value. Here, rounding is to 1/2 pound, so the maximum error is 1/4 pound.

C, or 5000(0.9)t is correct.

Multiplying by 0.1 would not make the car’s price go down by ten percent, but 90. Hence, C is correct.

Hope this helps!

The sum of two numbers is 85. twice one number plus four times the other is 218. find the numbers

Nina [5.8K]

X + y = 85
2x + 4y = 218
x = 85 - y
2(85 - y) + 4y = 218 
170 - 2y + 4y = 218 
170 + 2y = 218 
2y = 48 
y = 24 
x = 61

Write an equation of the line that passes through (18, 2) and is parallel to the line 3y−x=−12

rodikova [14]

First isolate the "y" in the equation.

2y - x = -12 Add x on both sides

2y - x + x = -12 + x

2y = -12 + x Divide 2 on both sides to get "y" by itself

$y = \frac{-12 +x}{2}$

$y = -6 + \frac{x}{2}$

Your slope is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

For the equation of the line to be parallel to the given equation, the slopes have to be the same. So the parallel line's slope is also $\frac{1}{2}$

y = mx + b

$y = \frac{1}{2}x + b$

To find "b", you plug in the point (18,2) into the equation

$y = \frac{1}{2}x + b$

$2 = \frac{1}{2}(18) + b$

2 = 9 + b Subtract 9 on both sides

2 - 9 = 9 - 9 + b

-7 = b

Your equation is:

$y =\frac{1}{2}x - 7$
