Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the HCF/GCF of 36, 48, and 72. The HCF is 12. So, there will be 12 stacks of books. This is a simple example of HCF. Please mark me as brainliest. Thanks

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF of 36, 48, and 72 is 12 so there will be 36 / 12 = 3 stacks of English books, 48 / 12 = 4 stacks of science books and 72 / 12 = 6 stacks of math books for a total of 3 + 4 + 6 = 13 stacks.

The lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is 3/2, what is the slope of the red line​?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular slopes have lines that multiply to -1

m* 3/2 = -1

Multiply each side by 2/3

m* 3/2 * 2/3 = -1 * 2/3

m = -2/3

The slope of the perpendicular line is -2/3

A figure is located entirely in the third quadrant. If you reflect it over y = 0. Which quadrant will the resulting figure lie i
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: Quadrant 2

=================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below. An example point in the third quadrant is (-2,-5). This quadrant is the southwest quadrant. Reflect the example point over the x axis (aka the line y = 0) and we get (-2,5). This is shown when we go from point A to point B in the diagram.

The reflection rule is (x,y) \to (x,-y) showing that only the y coordinate changes from y to -y. If y is negative, then flip to positive, or vice versa. The x coordinate stays the same.

The point started in quadrant 3 and it moves to quadrant 2 after the reflection over the line y = 0.

Side note: all points on the line y = 0 have a y coordinate of 0

Simplify<br> l3r-15l if r&lt;5<br> SOLVE NOW PLEASE
katrin [286]

Answer:

-3r + 15 ---> answer

Step-by-step explanation:

r < 5

You are going to multiply both sides with 3. The reason being is that 3 is a positive number and the equality sign will not change if you use +3.

3r < 15

Now, subtract 15 from both sides, you will get this:

3r < 15

-15   -15

-------------

3r — 15 < 0

Lastly, using the Modulus function, we are going to add a negative sign to the content of our previous step because it's already negative.

So, -3r + 15 is the final solution if r < 5 in the given equation of l3r-15l
