Mx+b=y m is your slope which u can find by using two point see how far the x are and the y are then the y/x is your slope. Then he is your starting value so what y is when x= 0
A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit
"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5
The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]
The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42
The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42
Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out
-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1
then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y
1 + y = 5
y = 4
remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14
Answer:
7/4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Longest bean sprout = 8/8 + 8/8
Longest bean sprout = 1 + 1
Longest bean sprout = 2
Shortest bean sprout = 2/8
Difference = 2 - 2/8
Difference = (16-2)/8
Difference = 14/8
Difference = 7/4
Hence the distance is 7/4 inches
