Answer:

3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

d=3t is our formula.

d being the distance (9 inches for this problem)

t is the time in minutes


Substituting our known information would make our equation look like:

9 = 3t

to solve for t we divide both sides of the equation by 3

9/3 = 3t/3

3 = t


So if a snail travels 3 inches per minute, it will have traveled 9 inches in 3 minutes.

Which ordered pair represents the y-intercept of the graph of the equation y = -3x - 9?
Mnenie [13.5K]

Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -3x - 9

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -9, I should get y = 0

When x = -9
y = -3 (-9) - 9
= 18 (I did not get 0, wrong)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -3, I should get y = 0
y = -3(-3) - 9
y = 9 - 9 
y = 0 (Yes, I got 0, correct)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -3
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (I did not get -3, wrong)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -9
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (Yes, I got -9, correct)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: (-3, 0) and (0, 9) are ordered pairs of the equation (Answer B, D)

can you help me evaluate this: 7m + 14m - 6n - 5n + 2m. why do you add 6n with 5n instead of subtract?
Mademuasel [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because it is not just 6 it is - 6 so when there are two negative numbers they don't subtract they add if it was 6n then it was to be subtracted

21m - 11n + 2m

23m - 11n
