Answer:

  54 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of fractions is ...

  2/5 + 3/20 + 1/3 = 11/20 +1/3 = (3·11 + 20·1)/(20·3) = 53/60

Then the 42 minutes devoted to English represents 1 - 53/60 = 7/60 of her study time.

Kaya's social studies time is 3/20 = 9/60 of her total, so the ratio of SS to Eng is ...

  SS : Eng = (9/60) : (7/60) = 9 : 7

When we multiply the numbers in this ratio by 6, we find ...

  SS : Eng = 54 : 42

Kaya spent 54 minutes studying social studies.

Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the indicated slope:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
"Undefined" slope means the line on the graph is vertical, and that
tells the whole story right there.  The 'x' coordinate is the same for
every point on the line.  If  (6, -1)  is a point on the line, then you know
that the x-value of EVERY point on it is  6 . 

It's a vertical line that intersects the x-axis at  x=6,  and the equation
of the line is  x=6 .

What is the best first step for solving the given system using substitution while avoiding fractions? =9x+4x=10 -9x+3y=3
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

  Solve for y in the second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your system is ...

  • -9x +4y = 10
  • -9x +3y = 3

Dividing <em>the </em><em>second equation</em> by 3 gives ...

  -3x +y = 1

so an expression for y without fractions can be found by <em>solving for y</em>, that is, by adding 3x:

  y = 3x +1

_____

<em>Comment on alternate solution</em>

We'd be tempted to solve the first equation for -9x and substitute for that.

  -9x = 10 -4y

  (10 -4y) +3y = 3 . . . . . substitute for -9x

  -y = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 10

  y = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by -1
