Well, when it comes to math, I gotta admit, I'm not the smartest cookie in the cookie jar, but if you take 20 2/5 and divide it by 2/5, you should be left with the number of sheets of sheetrock there are in the stack. To divide it, you my have to convert the fraction to a decimal, just FYI. Considering this is marked as a college-level question, I assume you already know how to do this. Hope this helps ya, pal.

Write the equation of a line with a slope of 7 and a y-intercept of -3. Put the equation in slope-intercept form.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

y=7x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m is the slope, so replace m with 7

b is the t-intercept so replace b with the -3.

Abcd is a rectangle if DB=26 and DC=24 find bc
Anettt [7]
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Let's first establish that triangle BCD is a right-angle triangle.

Therefore, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find BC and solve this problem. Pythagoras theorem is displayed below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where c = hypotenus of right-angle triangle

Where a and c = other two sides of triangle

Now we can solve the problem by substituting the values from the problem into the Pythagoras theorem as displayed below:

Let a = BC

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

a^2 = 26^2 - 24^2

a = square root of ( 26^2 - 24^2 )

a = square root of ( 676 - 576 )

a = square root of ( 100 )

a = 10

Therefore, as a = BC, BC = 10.

If we want to check our answer, we can substitute the value of ( a ) from our answer in conjunction with the values given in the problem into the Pythagoras theorem. If the left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side, then the answer must be correct as displayed below:

a = BC = 10

b = DC = 24

c = DB = 26

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2

100 + 576 = 676

676 = 676

FINAL ANSWER:

Therefore, BC is equivalent to 10.

HELP ME!!! ITS DUE TOMMOROW!! Find the largest value of $r$ such that $6r^2+7r+8=6$.
Alex787 [66]
First you need to see that this is a quadratic. I need.to put all of the values on one side of equation to see what I got.
6r^2 + 7r + 8 = 6
6r^2 + 7r + 2 = 0

Now this one is difficult to factor so i will use quadratic equation:
[-b (+-) sqrt (b^2 - 4ac)] / (2a)

we know that a b and c are in a quadratic at these positions.
ax^2 + bx + c

so
[-7 (+-) sqrt (7^2 -(4)(6)(2)] / (2) (6)
[-7 (+-) sqrt (49 - 48)] / 12
[-7 (+-) 1] /12

split into the + and - for 2 answers
(-7 + 1) / 12
-6/12
-1/2

And
(-7 -1) /12
-8 / 12
-2/3

those are.the 2 answers

But but it says largest so -1/2
