Answer:

7.2 qt

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determine how much blue paint is needed in comparison to white paint

9 ÷ 5 = 1.8

For every 1 part of white paint, 1.8 times that amount of blue paint is needed.

2. Multiply the 4 qt of white paint by 1.8

4 · 1.8 = 7.2

What is the slope of the line with the following equation? <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2x%2B3y%3D2" id="TexFormula

QUESTION

Your equation is 2x+3y=2 and you need to find the slope.

EXPLANATION

There are many ways to find the slope with an equation like this. I'm going to change the equation into slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is formatted like this:

y=mx+b

m represents the slope. The first thing you need to do is leave 3y alone to change the equation into slope-intercept form. That means you need to subtract 2x from both sides.

$2x+3y=2 \rightarrow 3y=2-2x\ or\ 3y=-2x-2$

The next thing you need to do is leave y alone, just like the slope-intercept form example. To leave y alone, you need to divide 3y by 3.

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x-2}{3} \\ \\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}$

Now the equation has been changed to slope-intercept form. In the equation, m has been replaced by $-\frac{2}{3}$ , which means that is your answer.

Answer: $-\frac{2}{3}$

timofeeve [1]

Each chair uses 0.16 gallons to be painted. I think this number lies between 0 and 1.

For all integers n, if n2 is odd, then n is odd. Use a proof by contraposition, as in Lemma 1.1. Let n be an integer. Suppose th

Reil [10]

Let's assume that the statement "if n^2 is odd, then is odd" is false. That would mean "n^2 is odd" leads to "n is even"

Suppose n is even. That means n = 2k where k is any integer.

Square both sides

n = 2k
n^2 = (2k)^2
n^2 = 4k^2
n^2 = 2*(2k^2)

The expression 2(2k^2) is in the form 2m where m is an integer (m = 2k^2) which shows us that n^2 is also even.

So this contradicts the initial statement which forces n to be odd.
