So that means
elephant= x times tiger

6 times 10^6=x times 3 times 10^5
divide both sides by (3 times 10^5)
remember that (x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)
so
(6 times 10^6)/(3 times 10^5)=x
(6/3) times (10^6)/(10^5)=x
2 times 10^1=x
2 times 10=x

that would be 2 times 10^1 or 20 times

2. Solve the following system. Show all your work. {3x - 2y + 2z = 30 {-x + 3y - 4z = -33 {2x - 4y + 3z = 42
Semmy [17]
From the system of equations, we have 3 unknowns and 3 equations. Therefore, it can be solved. 

<span>3x - 2y + 2z = 30  (1)
</span><span>-x + 3y - 4z = -33  (2)
</span><span>2x - 4y + 3z = 42   (3)

We can write equation 2 x as a function of y and z and substitute the new equation to the other equations.
</span>x =3y - 4z + 33  (2)

3 (3y - 4z + 3)<span> - 2y + 2z = 30  (1)
</span>2 (3y - 4z + <span>3)</span> - 4y + 3z = 42   (3)

We simplify and solve the equations and we get values,

x = 4
y = -7
z = 2

Find a linear equation to model this real-world application:
SSSSS [86.1K]

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the units produced in a month

It costs ABC electronics company $2.50 per unit to produce a part used in a popular brand of desktop computers.

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

The company has monthly operating expenses of $350 for utilities and $3300 for salaries

We have to write the linear equation

The linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses in the form of:

y = mx + b

Cost per unit = $ 2.50

Monthly Expenses = $ 350 for utilities and $ 3300 for salaries

Let "y" be the total monthly expenses per month

Then,

Total expenses = Cost per unit(number of units) + Monthly Expenses

y = 2.50(x) + 350 + 3300\\\\y = 2.5x + 3650

Thus the linear equation to model the company's monthly expenses is y = 2.5x + 3650

identify and equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to y=-1/2x-7 that passes through (-3,-2)
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

  y +2 = 2(x +3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation in point-slope form for a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

The slope of your given line is the coefficient of x, -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(-1/2) = 2. So, you have m = 2, (h, k) = (-3, -2), and your desired equation is ...

  y -(-2) = 2(x -(-3)) . . . . . . which can be simplified to ...

  y +2 = 2(x +3)
