It would be 8. To solve, look at it like this: 8-b=(-2). I would then look at a number line or create one if your not to sure of yourself. 8-8=0, and then 0-2=-2. 2+8=10 (the numbers you subtracted). So the answer is 10.
In 371 ways Mrs. Sullivan choose two students from 27 to help put away calculators at the end of class
Step-by-step explanation:
let us assume that Mrs.Sullivan wants to choose 2 students from a group of 27 students
So ,in the first choice we have 27 students
In the second choice we have 26 choices
So Mrs.Sullivan has = 27 × 26 = 702 ways
But each group repeated twice,in order to avoid that we will divide the answer by 2
so we will write
= 702 ÷ 2 =<u> 351 ways</u>
<u>This method of calculation is called Combination</u>
<em><u>Answer:</u></em>
<em><u>y = 5, 3; x = 171, 155</u></em>
<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>
8y - 15 = y^2
y^2-8y+15=0
y^2-3y-5y+15=0
y(y-3)-5(y-3)=0
(y-5)(y-3)=0
y can be 5 or 3.
x = 180 - (8y - 15)
x = 180 - (8(3)-15)
x = 180 - 9
x = 171
OR
x = 180 - (8(5) - 15)
x = 180 - 25
x = 155
<span>w - amount of wheat purchased
r - amount of rye purchased
12w+15r=18.30 /*2
15w+10r=16.75 /*3
24w+30r=36.60, subtract this equation from the other one
45w+30r=50.25
21w=13.65
w=13.65/21
w=0.65 is a cost per pound for wheat flour
From the first equation we have
r=(18.30-12w)/15
r=(18.30-12*0.65)/15
r=0.70 is a cost per pound for rye flour</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A line parallel to y-axis has no defined slope and line parallel to x-axis has a slope of zero.
