Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

A line has a slope of -3 and y-intercept of 2.
Pie

AnswA line can be written in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since the slope is given as 4, the equation will be y = 4x + b

Plugging in the point (2,1) to the equation we get 1 = 4(2) + b or 1 = b + 8

Solving for b gives b = -7 so the equation will be y = 4x - 7er:

Answer:

Line s and Line t are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we know that angles 1 and 2 are congruent, because they have the same angle measures. Now, looking at their positions, we can see that they are alternate exterior angles.

By the converse of the Alternate Exterior Angle, (I do not remember exactly how the theorem went) if two lines are cut by a transversal and have congruent alternate exterior angles, then the lines are parallel. Using this theorem, we can find that lines s and t are parallel, because they are cut by a transversal and their alternate exterior angles are congruent.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Kamrynn is looking at her five quiz scores of 96 90 94 93 and 90. Determine the mean rounded to the nearest tenth median mode an
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Mean = 90, Median = 93, Mode = 90, Range = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean:

96 + 90 + 94 + 93 + 90 = 463

463 ÷ 5 = 92.5

92.5 to nearest tenth = 90

Mean = 90

Median:

<em>90, 90</em>, <u>93</u>, <em>94 ,96</em>

Median = 93

Mode

<em>96, </em><u>90</u><em>, 94, 93, </em><u>90</u><em> </em>

Mode = 90

Range:

96 - 90 = 6

Range = 6
