Write the equation in standard form using integers: y = -2/5x - 3

1 answer:

7 0

Let's assume you meant y = (-2/5)x - 3.

-2/5x could be misinterpreted.

First, clear out the fraction(s). To do this, mult. both sides of the above eq'n by 5.

Result: 5y= -2x - 15. Add 2x to both sides. The resulting equation is what you wanted: an equation in the form Ax + By = C (standard form).

muhammad, a shipping and receiving clerk uses 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches Of twine to wrap each carton he packs. he has to pack

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

He will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Muhammad uses 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches of twine to wrap each carton he packs.

We know that, 1 yard = 36 inches and 1 foot = 12 inches.

So, 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches $=[(1*36)+(2*12)+4]inches = 64$ inches.

That means, he uses 64 inches of twine to wrap each carton.

He has to pack 29 cartons today. So, the total length of the twine he will need $=(64*29) inches= 1856$ inches.

Now....

1856 inches

$=\frac{1856}{36} yards \\ \\= 51 \frac{5}{9} yards \\ \\= 51 yards+(\frac{5}{9}*36)inches \\ \\= 51 yards, 20 inches \\ \\= 51 yards, (12+8)inches \\ \\=51 yards, 1 foot, 8 inches.$
