Let's pick one person at random and call it the 'first'.

That person shakes hands with 29 other classmates.

Take another person different from the first, we'll call him the 'second'. Since he has already shaken hands with the first, he shakes hands with 28 other classmates.

The 'third' person will likewise shake hands with 27 other classmates, and so on.

Hence, the total number of handshakes is 29+28+27+...+2+1 = 29*30/2=435 handshakes

Hello!

To find the slope of the given equation, we would need to convert this equation from standard form into slope-intercept form. Our goal, is to get the variable y, on one side of the equation.

Remember that slope-intercept form is written as y = mx + b. In this form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

2x + 4y = 12 (subtract 2x from both sides)

4y = 12 - 2x (divide both sides by 4)

y = 12/4 - 2/4x → y = -1/2x + 3

Therefore, the slope of this equation is -1/2, which is the final choice listed.

kevin is starting a saltwater aquarium with 36 fish.He wants to start with 11 times as many damselfish as clown fish.How many of
Alex787 [66]
11 times as many damselfish as clownfish would mean damselfish = 11 times clownfish. Use variable to represent each fish, so variable c will be used to represent clownfish and variable d with be used to represent damselfish. So from as before, d = 11c . Since there is a total of 36 fish, the equation would look to be about d + c = 36. Since we know that d = 11c, you replace the d with 11c. So it will now look like 11c + c = 36. Add like terms , which will be 11c + c to equal 12c. So the new equation is now 12c = 36. To isolate variable c, divide 12 to both sides to get c = 3 . There are 3 clownfish. To find out how many damselfish, replace 3 with c in the equation for d, which is d = 11c. d = 11(3) . d = 33. There are 33 damselfish and 3 clownfish in the tank.
