Currently the equation 6x - 2y = 18 is in standard form. Convert the standard form equation into a slope-intercept form and we can find the slope easily.
Solve for y.
6x - 2y = 18
-2y = 18 - 6x <-- Subtract 6x from each side. This is to isolate the 2y term
2y / -2 =
<-- Divide each side by 2. This it to
get rid of the 2 coefficient.
y = -9 + 3x
Rearrange the right-hand side a bit.
y = -9 + 3x becomes y = 3x - 9
Now it is in slope-intercept form.
The slope is the coefficient of the x variable.
So, 3 is the slope.
The answer is no of those options
Explanation:
20% of $70 is $14
8% of $70 is $5.60
$70-$5.60+$14= $78.40
I thinksss it’s x=8 if not I’m sooo sorry
Answer:
117 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
So this is a oddly phrased question but I believe I understand it. You need to find 10 percent of 1170 grams and that it 117. And for you information I did use calculator to prevent error so don't worry about that.
For word problems, assign variables so you can express them into equations. For this problem, the unknown is the number of each animals. Let's assign x to the number of cows and y to the number of chickens. It is mentioned that there are a total of 28 animals. Therefore, we can formulate the first independent equation to be
x + y = 28 ---> eqn 1
Next, we know that the total number of legs are 74. Since each cow has 4 legs and each chicken has 2 legs, the second independent equation we could formulate is:
4x + 2y = 74 ---> eqn 2
Now, we have a system of linear equations. There are two unknowns and two independent equations. Thus, the system is solvable. Let's use the method of substituting to solve this. Rearrange eqn 1 such that x is a function of y. Let's denote this as eqn 1'.
x = 28 - y ---> eqn 1'
Substitute eqn 1' to eqn 2:
4(28 - y) + 2y = 74
112 - 4y + 2y = 74
-2y = 74 - 112
-2y = -38
y = -38/-2
y = 19
Therefore, there are 19 chickens. Now, we use y=19 to substitute to eqn 1:
x + 19 = 28
x = 28 - 19
x = 9
Therefore, there are 9 cows.
