Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote:

a: number of students wearing sneakers

b: number of students wearing boots

We have:

a + b = 36

a/b = 4/5 (multiply both sides by b => a = 4b/5)

Substitute a = 4b/5 into a + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + b = 36

=> 4b/5 + 5b/5 = 36

=> 9b/5 = 36

=> b/5 = 4

=> b = 20

=> a = 4b/5 = 4(20)/5 = 16

an verage person has 6x10^2 times as many red bloods cells as white blood cells. A small sample of blood has 7x10^3 white blood
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

4.2 x 10⁶

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that there are 6x 10² times as many red blood cells as white blood cells. This means that you will need to multiply the given number of white blood cells, which is 7 x 10³ by 6x 10².

To do this, first you multiply the coefficients:

7 x 6 = 42

Next you combine the exponents of the 10s, because their bases are the same, we just add the exponents when you multiply them and copy the base:

10² x 10³ = 10⁵

So the result would be:

42 x 10⁵

However the following the form of scientific notation, you need to move the decimal one more time so that means you add one more to the exponent of 10.

4.2 x 10⁶

Need help solving pleaseee!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

50.

line AB that has the points (2,5) and (9,2) hhas the slope

m= (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)= 5-2 / 2-9 = 3/-7 = -3/7

Parallel line have the same slope so m= -3/7 for the line that has the point (-3,4).

Point-slope equation is y-y1 = m (x-x1), y -4 = -3/4 (x+3) or

you can writte it as y= (-3/4)x - 9/4 +16/4 so y = (-3/4)x + 7/4

51.

line PQ has slope m= -6+1 / 4-6 = -5/-2 = 5/2

Perpendicular lines have their slope negative reciprocal of eachother so the line that goes trough the point (1,3) has the slope m= -2/5

y-3 = -2/5 (x-1)
