Find use the distributive property and bring down the ending result (21)
-3x-6=21

Next, add 6 on both sides and you should get:
-3x = 27

The last step is, you divide -3 from 27 and you end up with 9. So, the total answer is x = 9

Which function has the same y-intercept as the function y equals 2/3 x - 3

aleksley [76]

We have the function $y = \frac{2}{3} x -3$ and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.

First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.

$y = \frac{2}{3} (0) -3 = -3$

Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: $y = ax - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.

Also, any quadratic function of the type: $y=ax^{2} + bx - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' and 'b' can take all the real values.

A rectangular prism has a length of 1 1/4 centimeters, a width of 4 centimeters, and a height of 3 1/4centimeters.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

16.25 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a prism is found using V = l*w*h. Here l = 1.25, w = 4 and h = 3.25. Substitute and simplify.

V = 1.25(4)(3.25)

V = 16.25

Sam has twice as many books as Jim. If Sam gives 12 books to Jim, they will have the same number of books. How many books do the

Neko [114]

Alright, lets get started.

Suppose number of books Jim have = x

Sam has twice as many books as Jim. So,

Number of books Sam have = 2x

If Sam gives 12 books to Jim, they will have the same number of books.

When Sam gives 12 books, his remaining books will be $= 2x - 12$

When Jim gets 12 books from Sam, his books will be $= x + 12$

And as per given question, they both now have equal books, so

$2x - 12 = x + 12$

Adding 12 in both sides

$2x - 12 + 12 = x + 12 + 12$

$2x = x + 24$

Subtracting x from both sides

$2x - x = x + 24 - x$

$x = 24$

It means Jim has number of books = 24

So, Sam has numberof books = $24 * 2 = 48$

So, they have number of books together = $24 + 48 = 72$ : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Please help, find the value of y

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

chord makes or arc make 120° at the center.

sum of other two angles of triangle=180-120=60

because they are equal.

so each angle=60/2=30°

tangent line makes angle 90° with radius .

so 30+y=90

y=90-30=60°
