Answer:

5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 0.5x + 5

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept.

Slope: 0.5

y-intercept: 5

Any line can be graphed using two points. Select two x values, and plug them into the equation to find the corresponding values.

To find the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 0 for the x variable and solve for y.

y = 0.5(0) + 5

y = 5

To graph the y intercept using the equation of the line, plug in 1 for the x variable and solve for y.

y = 0.5(1) + 5

y = 5.5

Which means when x is 0, y intercept at 5 and when x is 1 y intercept at 5.5. Graph the line using the slope and the y-intercept, or the points.

This tells us, in practical terms, that, for every one unit that the x-variable increases (that is, moves over to the right), the y-variable increases (that is, goes up) by 50% of a unit.

Alice's book has 200 Pages. Alice has read 75% of the pages in her book. Nina has read the same number of pages the only 50% of

charle [14.2K]

Alice has read 150 pages, you would multiple 200 by .75 (75%). If Nina had read 50% of her book and she read 150, you multiple by 2, and get 300. So Nina has 300 pages in her book.

Simplify. 15 20 24+20

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

-5 divide by 28

Step-by-step explanation:

so the question supposed be " 15-20 divided by 2(4) + 20

15-20 which is also 15 + (-20)= -5

2(4)=8, 8+20=28

so it can simplify into -5 / 28

(hope it helps :)

Question 10 (1 point) Solve for x. 1/2+x/6=4/3

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The value of x for the given expression is 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression as

$\dfrac{1}{2}$ + $\dfrac{x}{6}$ = $\dfrac{4}{3}$

Now, arrange the equation

So, $\dfrac{x}{6}$ = $\dfrac{4}{3}$ - $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Taking L.C.M on right hand side

Or, $\dfrac{x}{6}$ = $\dfrac{8 -3}{6}$

Or, $\dfrac{x}{6}$ = $\dfrac{5}{6}$

Or, x = $\frac{5\times 6}{6}$

∴ x = 5

So, The value of x = 5

Hence,The value of x for the given expression is 5 . Answer

A store has a 25\%25% off sale on coats. With this discount, the price of one coat is \$34.50$34.50. What is the original price

timama [110]

Answer:

$46

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent is a portion of 100. If we receive 25% off then we pay 75% of the price. 100%-25%=75%. $34.50 is 75% of the original price. We find the new price through a proportion. A proportion is an equation where two ratios or fractions are equal. The ratios or fractions compare like quantities. For example, we will compare percent over percent to an equal ratio of $ to $.

$\frac{75}{100} =\frac{34.50}{y}$

I can now cross-multiply by multiplying numerator and denominator from each ratio.

$75y=100(34.50)\\75y=3450$

I now solve for y by dividing by 75.

$\frac{75y}{75} =\frac{3450}{75} \\y= 46....$

The original price was $46.
