70 = 4x
x equals the number of movies

divide both sides by 4

70 / 4 = x
17 .5 = x

Anderson will be able to go to 17 movies

What is 2 3/8 * 1/3. Estimate the product

stealth61 [152]

2 3/8 x 1/3 I believe? First you need to change 2 into a 16 then add that into 3 which is 19/8. You multiply across with 1/3 like with numerator with numerator and denominator with denominator. That then equals:19/24. You can't estimate it because 19 is a prime number.

james' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. Although James worked 3 days less than David, they earned $180 each. Find the number

zalisa [80]

Answer: 9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent James' daily wage

James' daily wage was $5 more than Davis's. It means that Davis's daily wage will be $(x-5)

Let y represent number of days that James worked. James worked 3 days less than David. It means that the number of days that Davis worked would be (y + 3) days

they earned $180 each. Total amount of money earned by either of of them is the product of wage and the number of days worked.

Since James earned $180, then

180 = xy - - - - - - - - 1

Since Davis also earned $180, then

180 = (x - 5)(y + 3)

xy +3x -5y -15 = 180 - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting xy = 180 into equation 2

It becomes

180 + 3x - 5y -15 = 180

3x - 5y = 180 - 180 + 15

3x - 5y = 15 - - - - - - -3

From equation 1, x = 180/y

Substituting x = 180/y into equation 3, it becomes

3 × 180/y - 5y = 15

540 - 5y^2 = 15y

5y^2 + 15y -540 = 0

Dividing through by 5

y^2 + 3y -108 = 0

y^2 + 12y - 9y -108 = 0

y(y + 12) - 9(y + 12) = 0

y + 12 = 0 or y - 9 = 0

y = -12 or y = 9

Since the number of days cannot be negative, then,

Number of days that James worked will be 9 days

Find the equation of a line that passes through the given points<br>(-6,-5) and (6,-13)

NeTakaya

Answer:

y+5=-3/4(x+6)

or in slope intercept

y= -3/4x-38/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line we must have a slope and a point. To find the slope we use the slope formula and substitute (x,y) points in it as shown below:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{-5--13}{-6-6}=\frac{-5+13}{-6+-6}=\frac{8}{-12}=\frac{-3}{4}$

Now that we have the slope, plug in the slope and choose one point to plug into the point slope formula. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.

(y--5)=-3/4(x--6)

y+5=-3/4(x+6)

y+5=-3/4x-18/4

y=-3/4x-18/4-20/4

y= -3/4x-38/4
