SungSo sold 2 more meals than Sarah.The three decided to participate in a walkathon to raise additional money for the shelter. Sarah walked 5 miles less than twice the number of miles that Semir walked. They each collected $18 in pledges for every mile they walked.                                                                                    a.Let n represent the number of miles Semir walked.

According to the question, 
Let,
"n" represent the number of miles semir walked.
"y" represent the number of miles sarah walked.
Now, according to the question,

y = 2n - 5  ........................this is your equation 
Also,
the question states, each of them collect $18 in pledges for every miles walked.

Given,
Sarah collected $450
Now, 

Using unitary method,

Sarah collects $18 for 1 mile
Sarah collects $1 for (1 / $18) mile
Sarah collects $450 for (1 / 18) * 450 mile
                                   = 25 miles
So, Sarah walks 25 miles.
Now,
Taking equation,
y = 2n - 5
Since, y is the no. of miles sarah walked, we can write 25 in place of "y" So,
(25) = 2n - 5
25 + 5 = 2n
30 = 2n
30 / 2 = n
15 = n

Since, "n" is the no. of miles that semir walked, Semir walked 15 miles.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line that passes through the point (4,-7) and has a slope
iren [92.7K]

Answer: y = 3x - 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line in the slope intercept form is give as :

y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

The points given : ( 4 , -7 )

slope = 3

Using the formula

y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1} )

substituting the given values , we have

y - (-7) = 3 ( x - 4 )

y +7 = 3x - 12

y = 3x -12 - 7

y = 3x - 19

This gives the equation of the line in slope - intercept form.

(2 x 106) x (0.00009) = ?
RSB [31]

I think you meant to write

(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009

First, convert 0.00009 to scientific notation:

0.00009 = 9 × 10 ⁻⁵

Then

(2 × 10⁶) × 0.00009 = (2 × 10⁶) × (9 × 10 ⁻⁵)

… = (2 × 9) × (10⁶ × 10 ⁻⁵)

… = 18 × 10¹

… = 1.8 × 10²

What are the real zeros of x^3+4x^2-9x-36
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

x = -4\\x = -3\\x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the real zeros you must match the function to zero and factor the expression.

We have a polynomial of degree 3.

We try to group the terms to perform the factorization

x ^ 3 + 4x ^ 2-9x-36 = 0\\\\x ^ 2(x + 4) - 9(x + 4) = 0

Now we take (x + 4) as a common factor

(x + 4)(x ^ 2 -9) = 0

If we have an expression of the form (a ^ 2-b ^ 2) we know that this expression is equivalent to:

(a ^ 2-b ^ 2) = (a + b)(a-b)

In this case

a = x\\b = 3

So:

(x ^ 2 -9) = (x + 3)(x-3)

Finally:

x ^ 3 + 4x ^ 2-9x-36 = (x + 4)(x + 3)(x-3) = 0

The solutions are:

x = -4\\x = -3\\x = 3
