There are 210 blue marbles!

Let b represent blue marbles
g represent green marbles
Then,
We know that there are three times as many blues as green ones, so
b=3g
Next,
the bag contains 280 marbles total, so:
b+g=280 marbles
Substitute b=3g into this equation, to get
3g+g=280 marbles
4g=280 marbles
Divided 4 to each side
4g/4=280/4
g=70 marbles
b=3r
b=3(70)
b=210 marbles
Check:
b=3r
210=3(70)
210=210
b+g=280
210+70=280
280=280. As a result, there area 210 blue marbles. Hope it help!

Find anequation of the line containing (3,-4) and having slope -2. If this line
Stells [14]

Answer:

A linear equation can be written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we want to have a slope equal to -2, then our line will be something like:

y = -2*x + b

Now, we also want this line to pass through the point (3, -4)

This means that when x = 3, we must have y = -4

Then:

-4 = -2*(3) + b

-4 = -6 + b

-4 + 6 = b

2 = b

Then our line is:

y = -2*x + 2

Now, the second part says that:

If this line  contains the points (2,8) and (5.b), find a and b.​

This is incorrectly written because this line clearly does not contain the point (2, 8), so i guess the actual problem is something like:

If this line  contains the points (a,8) and (5.b), find a and b.​

If the line contains the point (a, 8), this means that when y = 8, we must have x = a.

Then:

8 = -2*a + 2

8 - 2 = -2*a

6 = -2*a

6/-2 = -3 = a

a = -3

Similar reasoing for the other point, if the line contains the point (5, b), this means that when x = 5, we have y = b.

Then:

b = -2*5 + 2 = -10 + 2

b = -8

I need help solving this. |x−4| if x>4. You have to write the expression without using the absolute value sign.
labwork [276]
<h3>Answer:   x-4</h3>

We simply drop the absolute value signs and write whatever is inside

This is because |x-4| is really composed of two equations and it depends on what x is

If x < 4, then we use -(x-4) or -x+4

If x >= 4, then we use x-4

This is from the idea that |x| breaks down into this piecewise function

|x| = \begin{cases}x \text{ if } x \ge 0 \\ -x \text{ if } x < 0\end{cases}

Replace every x with x-4

|x-4| = \begin{cases}x-4 \text{ if } x-4 \ge 0 \\ -(x-4) \text{ if } x-4 < 0\end{cases}

Then for each inequality, you would solve for x to get the following

|x-4| = \begin{cases}x-4 \text{ if } x \ge 4 \\ -(x-4) \text{ if } x < 4\end{cases}

which is the same as

|x-4| = \begin{cases}x-4 \text{ if } x \ge 4 \\ -x+4 \text{ if } x < 4\end{cases}
