$\frac{100}{40+x} = \frac{60}{40-x} 
$
cross multiply
100(40-x) = 60(40 + x)
solve for x
x= 10

which of the following best describes the technique used to graph the equation using the slope and y-intercept ? Y=5x+10

Vinvika [58]

The slope-intercept is y = mx+b. You can use this as a technique for graphing to make the experience easier. The "5" would be the slope or rise/run of the line. The 10 would be where it started on the y-intercept. You could also say it would be (0,10). Since the slope is positive than it would be going in an upward direction. That is why this technique is good for graphing. I hope this helps you and please put me as the brainliest answer. :)

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

$1200.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Kiersten runs a website that helps people learn programming. Every month, Kiersten receives a subscription fee of $10 from each of the subscribers to her website.

First of all we will find the number of subscribers for this month.

$\text{Total number of subscribers this month}=100+30-10$

$\text{Total number of subscribers this month}=130-10=120$

Now let us multiply number of total subscribers of this month by 10 to find the amount Kiersten will earn by her online business.

$\text{Kiersten's earnings this month from online business}=120*10$

$\text{Kiersten's earnings this month from online business}=1200$

Therefore, Kiersten will earn $1200 this month by her online business.

The answer is 90, there is 10 millimeters in 1 centimeter! So, if there is 9 centimeters, there will then be 90 millimeters!

Ps: I had my question up but someone reported it since I added a picture that would help you! :(

Hope this does help though! You can always do the jumping trick with meters! That's how I learned :)
