Answer:
<em> x = -3</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
A line has equation: y = ax + b
This line has slope a = 1
This line passes (4, 1)
=> 1 = 4 + b
=> b = -3
=> The equation of this line : y = x - 3
This line passes another point (x, -6)
=> -6 = x - 3
=> x = -6 + 3
=> x = -3
The product of 68 and 21 would be 1,428.
We can use a rule of three simple, direct proportion to solve this problem.
15 pounds correspond to $1.80, then the question is to find the price of one pound, the called unit rate. We state the rule of three:
15 pound ----> $1.80
1 pound -----> x
x = (1)(1.80)/15
x = 0.12
Therefore, each pound costs $0.12 that is the unit rate in pounds
Answer:
2 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use two separate fractions, one representing the amount of physics majors expected and the amount of seniors expected in physics majors by the university.
Now cross multiply.
x will be removed.
Simplifying this fraction will get you 
, which in percentage form, will be 2 percent.
Answer:
1/56
Step-by-step explanation:
P( bear is first) = bear/ total = 1/8
Then there are 7 animals left
P( zebra is 2nd) = zebra /total = 1/7
P( bear, then zebra) = 1/8 * 1/7 = 1/56
