Let Bea = x
Therefore Andrew = x + 2
Chris = x - 3
Andrew * Chris = 66
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 66 Remove the brackets.
x^2 + 2x - 3x - 6 = 66
x^2 - x - 6 = 66 Subtract 66 from both sides.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)(x + 8) = 0
Find the possible values of Bea's age
x - 9 = 0
x = 9 That value works. She can be plus 9 years old.
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8. There's no way she can be - 8 years old
So Bea is 9.

Answer: The equation is y = -6*x
Step-by-step explanation:
I suppose that we want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and the origin (remember that the origin is the point (0,0))
A general linear equation is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
If this line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope of the line is equal to:
a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Now we know that our line passes through the points (0, 0) and (-1, 6), then the slope is:
a = (6 - 0)/(-1 - 0) = 6/-1 = -6
Then our equation is something like:
y = -6*x + b
To find the value of b we can use the fact that this line passes through the point (0, 0).
This means that when x = 0, y is also equal to zero.
If we replace these values in the equation we get:
0 = -6*0 + b
0 = b
Then our equation is:
y = -6*x
Answer:
y=(x-5)^2 - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting the 5 to the x moves the parabola 5 units to the right. Putting the -6 at the end moves the parabola down 6 units.
I'm pretty sure it is 1 out of nine or 1 out of 8.

To figure this out, notice the pattern happening on x. It's simply counting to four, so the first blank is 1 and the next is 2.
The y coordinates seem to be going up by 9. 27 plus 9 is 36, so the answer to the fourth box is 36.
Another way to see how this is correct is to notice that the x is multiplying by 9 to get y. It works out as you look at it and plug it in!

Yes, this is a proportional relationship. Since Dennis is adding 3 logs every hour, it is keeping a consistent pattern.
<u>Picture 3:</u>
If Jane is driving 60 miles per hour, the first hour she would've gone 60 miles. After a second hour, she would've gone 120 miles. Multiply 60 to your x coordinates to figure this out. You should get 60, 120, 180, and 240 for each box.
