Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+7=2y

Subtract 7 from both sides

x=2y-7

2y-7=x

Multiply both sides by 2

4y-14=2x

y=2x−1

Add 1 to both sides

y+1=2x

Combine equations:

y+1=4y-14

Add 14 to both sides

y+15=4y

Subtract y from both sides

15=3y

3y=15

Divide both sides by 3

y=5

The answer is (C) 5.

A pair of pants regularly costs $68. The pants are on sale for 45% of the original price. How much will the discount be?

Novay_Z [31]

The discounted amount of pair of pants is $37.4

Solution:

Given, A pair of pants regularly costs $68.

The pants are on sale for 45% of the original price.

We have to find that how much will the discount be?

Now, discounted amount = original price – sold price

Discounted amount = original price – 45% of original price

Discounted amount = $68 – 45% of $68

$\begin{array}{l}{=68-\frac{45}{100} \times 68=68\left(1-\frac{45}{100}\right)=68 \times \frac{100-45}{100}=68 \times \frac{55}{100}} \\\\ {=\frac{3740}{100}=\$ 37.4}\end{array}$

Hence, the discounted amount is $37.4

A line intersects the points(-22,-14) and (-18,-12). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

zaharov [31]

Hello there,

Well we are going to start off with the equation to find the slope based on the given points:

$\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

Now using the two given points we are going to plug in and solve:

$\frac{(-12)-(-14)}{(-18)-(-22)}$ = $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

From this you know that $\frac{1}{2}$ is the slope of the equation. However, to find the y-intercept we are going to use y = mx+ b and plug in one of the points to solve:

(-14) = $\frac{1}{2}$ (-22) + b

(-14) = (-11) + b

-3 = b

That means that the y-intercept is at (0, -3). Lastly, we are just going to plug all this into the slope-intercept form:

y = $\frac{1}{2}$ - 3

Hope I helped,

A rectangle sand box has a length of 5 and 1/3 feet and a width of 3 and 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle = ⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangular sand box = $5\frac{1}{3}\ feet$

Width of the box = $3\frac{3}{4}\ feet$

Perimeter of a rectangle = $2(l+w)$

where $l$ represents length of rectangle and $w$ represents width of the rectangle.

Substituting values given for length and width.

Perimeter of sand box = $2(5\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{3}{4})\ feet$

Simplifying by adding fractions:

⇒ $2(5+3+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})\ feet$ (Adding whole numbers and fractions separately)

⇒ $2(8+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

Whole number 8 can be written as $\frac{8}{1}$

⇒ $2(\frac{8}{1}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

To add fractions we take LCD for the denominators 3,4,1.

LCD for 3 and 4 = 12 as its the least common multiple of 3,4,1.

Making denominators =12 by multiplying numerator an denominator with the corresponding numbers

⇒ $2(\frac{8\times 12}{1\times 12}+\frac{1\times 4}{3\times 4}+\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{96}{12}+\frac{4}{12}+\frac{9}{12})$ feet

Then we simply add numerators.

⇒ $2(\frac{96+4+9}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{109}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2\times \frac{109}{12}$ feet

⇒ $\frac{218}{12}$ feet

Writing fraction as a mixed number by dividing 218 by 12 and writing quotient as whole number and remainder as numerator with divisor as denominator.

⇒ $18\frac{2}{12}$ feet
