Answer:
1.133.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes because if you divide 17 by 15 you get about 1.133 and if you divide 68 by 60 you also get about 1.133.
Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.
the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.
Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.
When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that
x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that
x = y + 6
Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes
y + 6 + y = 84
2y + 6 = 84
2y = 84 - 6 = 78
y = 78/2 = 39
x = y + 6 = 39 + 6
x = 45
The function and the first value stated for x are confusing.
Doing some research, I found that the problem is to evaluate the function

for x = - 1 and x 2.
The solution is:
1) For x = - 1

2) For x = 2
Y = mx + b. Use this equation for most linear functions. Enter the information that is given to you.

Multiply the -3 and 4 to get 12.

Now divide the -12 from both sides.

-12 cancels out on the right side and your left with

Now re-enter the info back into the formula.

Then you've got your formula
12345679/100000000 I think
