Answer: -3/6 (reduced is -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute the 6

-18 = 9 + 6y - 24

combine like terms on one side

-18 = -15 + 6y

get all like terms on one side

-3 = 6y

divide by 6

-3/6 = y

if you need to simplify or reduce the answer is -1/2.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-18=9+6(y-4)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\-18=9+6y+(6)(-4)\\\\-18=9+6y-24\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-18=6y+(9-24)\\\\-18=6y-15\qquad\text{add 15 to both sides}\\\\-3=6y\qquad\text{divide both sides by 6}\\\\\dfrac{-3}{6}=\dfrac{6y}{6}\\\\-\dfrac{3:3}{6:3}=y\to y=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Sanjay graphs a quadratic function that has x-intercepts of –3 and 7. Which functions could he have graphed?

kykrilka [37]

we will select each options and find zeros

(a)

$g(x)=x^2-4x-21$

for finding x-intercept , we can set g(x)=0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=x^2-4x-21=0$

now, we can factor it

$(x-7)(x+3)=0$

we get

$x=7,x=-3$

so, this is TRUE

(b)

$g(x)=(x-3)(x+7)$

we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=(x-3)(x+7)=0$

we get

$x=3,x=-7$

so, this is FALSE

(c)

$g(x)=3x^2-12x-63$

we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=3x^2-12x-63 =0$

$3(x^2-4x-21) =0$

$3(x-7)(x+3) =0$

$x=-3,x=7$

so, this is TRUE

(d)

$g(x)=-(x+3)(x-7)$

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=-(x+3)(x-7)=0$

$x=-3,x=7$

so, this is TRUE

(e)

we have

$g(x)=x^2+4x-21$

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for x

$g(x)=x^2+4x-21=0$

$(x+7)(x-3)=0$

$x=-7,x=3$

so, this is FALSE

10 of the students in Miss Ransom‘s class play an instrument. These 10 students make up 40% of the class how ,many students are

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

250 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the total number of students be x

Number of students that plays instrument = 10

Hence

40% of x = 10

40/100*x= 100

0.4x=100

x=100/0.4

x= 250

Hence there are 250 students in total

Plz help i just started pretty confused

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

right

neither

straight

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

The first angle is a right angle. The box in the corner indicates a 90 degree angle

The second angle is less than 90 degrees so it is an acute angle

The third angle is a straight line so it is a straight angle.

The fourth angle is wider than 90 degrees it is an obtuse angle

Which math subject is the hardest

lesya [120]

Combinatorial Enumeration. That whole class was a rollercoaster ride of mind-blowing generating functions to prove crazy things. The exam had ridiculous questions like 'count the number of cactus trees with n vertices such that etc etc etc' and you'd do three pages of terrible terrible sums and algebra. Then your final answer would be something beautiful like n/2 and you'd breath a sigh of relief and thank the math gods.
