Duval County Landscaping uses two different sized trucks to deliver mulch. The first truck can transport x cubic yards of mulch,

and the second can transport y cubic yards of mulch. The first truck makes 12 trips to a job site, while the second makes 14 trips. Create an expression that represents the difference in the total number of cubic yards that the first truck delivers compared to the second.

Okay so truck a holds x and truck b holds y. truck a makes 12 trips and truck b makes 14
each time the deliver x or y amount
so say the amount needed at the site is z
truck a has the equation 12x=z
truck b has the equation 14y=z
so 12x=14y and dividing yields 12/14x=y
so that means 6/7x=y
so y can only hold 6/7 of what x can hold.
not sure about expression that represents difference wording. but this should get you off to a good start ;)

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, 4) and (4, −1)?
Igoryamba
Note:
The slope of a straight line passing through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is 
m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

The two given points are (-3,4) and (4,-1). Therefore the slope is
m= \frac{-1-4}{4-(-3)} = \frac{-5}{7}

Answer: - \frac{5}{7}

Serggg [28]

Answer:

n=5

Step-by-step explanation:

by using

n=(an-a)/a+1

substituting values

n= 7.2-(-7.2)/3.6 +1

n=5

−2x=x2−6 Rewrite the equation by completing the square.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

(x + 1)² = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-2x = x² - 6

We'll start by rearranging it to solve for zero:

x² + 2x - 6 = 0

The first term is already a perfect square so that's fine.  Normally, if that term had a non-square coefficient, you would need to multiply all terms a value that would change that constant to a perfect square.

Because it's already square (1), we can simply move to the next step, separating the -6 into a value that can be doubled to give us the 2, the coefficient of the second term.  That value will of course be 1, giving us:

x² + 2x + 1 - 1 - 6 = 0

Now can group our perfect square on the left and our constants on the right:

x² + 2x + 1 - 7= 0

x² + 2x + 1 = 7

(x + 1)² = 7

To check our answer, we can solve for x:

x + 1 = ± √7

x = -1 ± √7

x ≈ 1.65, -3.65

Let's try one of those in the original equation:

-2x = x² - 6

-2(1.65) = 1.65² - 6

- 3.3 = 2.72 - 6

-3.3 = -3.28

Good.  Given our rounding that difference of 2/100 is acceptable, so the answer is correct.

My product is 30. The differencd of the two factors is 1. The zum of the two factors is 11. What numbers am i
timurjin [86]
A * b = 30
a - b = 1
a + b = 11

take ur last 2 equations, and add them
a - b = 1
a + b = 11
--------------add
2a = 12
a = 12/2
a = 6

now its just a matter of subbing
a + b = 11
6 + b = 11
b = 11 - 6
b = 5

so a = 6 and b = 5...whose product is 30, whose difference is 1, and whose sum is 11.
