First of all you have really good information for this question:
Mr Carson=3 pencils per student.
26 students=Mr Carson
Boxes=12 pencils.
<span>So, what you need to do, is to multiply 26 students by 3 pencils and then divide the total by 12, which is 6.5. BUT, You can't buy half a box. So, you round  6.5 to the nearest tenth, which is 7. Mr Carson can buy 7 boxes
Hope this helps

Since there are 26 students in Mr. Carson's class, and each kid gets 3 pencils, that means we will multiply 26 and 3, in which we get 78. Now, since boxes of pencils only contain a dozen, which is 12 pencils, we will divide 78 by twelve, in which we get 6.5 boxes. You can't buy half a box, so he will need 7 boxes, since having 6 boxes means that you don't have enough pencils.

Hope this helps!

Find the x- and y-intercepts for the linear equation –3x + 4y = 24.
Sav [38]

Answer:

x- intercept = - 8, y- intercept = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercept let y = 0 and solve for x

- 3x + 4(0) = 24

- 3x = 24 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 8 ← x- intercept

To find the y- intercept let x = 0 and solve for y

- 3(0) + 4y = 24

4y = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 6 ← y- intercept

Help!! whats the answer? and how do I solve!! :(
Sever21 [200]
I think the answer is 20.25 because when solving for the area of a triangle you do 1/2 base times height and so the equation would be
1/2(9)(4.5)
you would start by doing 9(4.5) which equals 40.5
then you would divide by 1/2 which equals 20.25
hope this helps:)

Use the unit circle to find the inverse function value in degrees.<br> tan^-1 sqrt 3
mr Goodwill [35]
Use the unit circle to find the inverse function value in degrees.tan^-1 sqrt 3

The correct answer would be 60 degrees. Since you are asked to find an angle that the tangent is equal to sqrt 3. The only angle that is equal to that given the interval is 60 degrees. So that is the correct answer. I hope this answer helped you.
