Answer:

1. no. 2.no

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $\frac{5}{3 - 3x}$

= (5\3) × (1/1-x)

but 8-8x = 8(1-x)

2. 2(6-3x) = 12-6x =6(2-x)

2(3x) + x= 6x +x = 7x

There are 416 students who are enrolled in an introductory geology course. if there are seven boys to every six girls, how many

Alenkinab [10]

$\text{Let the number of boys be x and number of girls be y.}\\
\\
\text{and there are total 416 students enrolled in the course. so we have}\\
\\
x+y=416 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ......(i)\\
\\
\text{also given that there are seven boys to every six girls, that is}\\
\\
\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{6}$

$\Rightarrow 6x=7y\\
\\
\Rightarrow y=\frac{6x}{7}\\
\\
\text{substitute this value of y in (i), we get}\\
\\
x+\frac{6x}{7}=416\\
\\
\Rightarrow \frac{7x+6x}{7}=416\\
\\
\Rightarrow \frac{13x}{7}=416\\
\\
\Rightarrow x=\frac{416\times 7}{13}\\
\\
\Rightarrow x=224$

Hence the number of boys in the course are: 224

What is the slope of the line and y intercept

valkas [14]

Answer is a

You need to find the y-intercept (aka b). You can do that by simply looking where the graph intercepts with the Y-axis.
b= 1 (positive 1 and not negative)

Now we need to find the slope by the following

Slope aka m: (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Note: sometimes people say it’s rise/run which is the same thing as the previous formula.

Pick two points that fall on the graph. I chose (0,1) and (3,-4). Even though there are no numbers you can assume each square is a unit and count the squares.

Slope = (-4-1)/(3-0) = - 5/3
