This is actually a trick question if you were to take this question head on. Say for instance you are cutting all the pieces from the same sheet of metal, the equation would NOT be 8 times 5 equals 40 minutes, but rather 7 times 5 equals 35 minutes. this is because on the 7th cut, it takes that from 6 sheets of metal to 8 because you get 2 from that cut. Take for instence, a Hersheys candy bar. It is 3 bars thick, but it only takes 2 breaks to sever the 3 strips. So, that being said, sam will make 7 cuts and those 7 cuts will make a times of 35 minutes.

Y=3x+12 positive or negative
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

x = -4 thus negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x + 12 = 0

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 12 from both sides:

3 x + (12 - 12) = -12

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

12 - 12 = 0:

3 x = -12

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 3 x = -12 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-12)/3

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

3/3 = 1:

x = (-12)/3

Hint: | In (-12)/3, divide 12 in the numerator by 3 in the denominator.

12/3 = (3×4)/3 = 4:

Answer: x = -4

Simplifying the following<br>expression<br>6 + 2(3-9 + 5) + (- 9)​
Verizon [17]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2 to the 3, -9, and 5. You will get 6 + 6 - 18 + 10 + (-9). Then, you can start from the beginning and work through combining the terms. The original equation is in bold after every step.

6 + 6 - 18 + 10 + (-9)

6+6 = 12

12 - 18 + 10 + (-9)

12-18 = -6

- 6 + 10 + (-9)

-6 + 10 = 4

4 + (-9)

4 - 9 = -5

Answer: -5

What is the y-intercept of the line y + 6 = -4(X - 1.5)
Rudiy27

Answer:

y=0.

y + 6 = -4(X - 1.5)

y+6 = -4x+6

y = mx+b

y=4x

There isn't a b, which is the y intercept, so the y int would be 0
