3x + 4x + 5x = 156

12x = 156

x = 13

3*13 = 39

5*13 = 65

65-39=26 cm difference

Which system of equations can you use to find the roots of the equation? x3 – 10x = x2 – 6 y = x3 – x2 + 10x + 6 y = 0 y = x3 –

Maslowich

Answer:

answer is:

$y=x^{3}-10 x,y=x^{2}-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are asked to find which system of equations can we use to find the roots of the equation:

$x^{3}-10x=x^{2}-6$

since the system of equation in last part is given as:

$y=x^{3}-10 x,y=x^{2}-6$

so, on equating both the equations i.e. on equating both the values of 'y' we get the desired equation as:

$x^{3}-10x=x^{2}-6$ .

Answer:

12 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Choosing 1 vehicle from 2 = 2C1 = 2

Choosing 1 color from 3 = 3C1 = 3

Choosing 1 type from 2 = 2C1 = 2

Number of possible outcomes :

2C1 * 3C1 * 2C1

2 * 3 * 2

= 12 different possible outcomes

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−1, 5) and has a slope of 3 in point-slope form. (2 points)

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The point-slope form: $y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

m = 3; (-1; 5) $\to x_0=-1;\ y_0=5$

subtitute

y - 5 = 3(x - (-1))

y - 5 = 3(x + 1)

dedylja [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

J = 2b

M = J + 7

M = 21

J = 21 - 7

J = 14

B = 7

<em>Equation:</em>

If M is J+7, so then J = 21-7. J is 2*b, so 2*b = 21-7. Then you subtract and divide.
