When you see a coefficient (the number next to the letter) next to a variable (the letter), you multiply. So 3*2=6 So you have: 6+y, or since y=-1, 6+(-)1= 5

3(2) + -1
6-1=5

6-1 is from the 1 being a negative already.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Option A is the important variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is - At 9:45 a.m. a patient’s temperature was 101.5 degrees at 10:41, the nurse took the patients temperature again and found it was 105.8 degrees, the highest ever recorded.

The variable that is most important here is A: the number of minutes it took for the to reach its peak.

Firstly it is not mentioned if 10:41 is am or pm.

If its am, then such a temperature rise in less than an hour is very dangerous.

So, the important variable is option A.

A rectangular pan has a length that is 4/3 the width. The total area of the pan is 432 in.2. What is the width of the cake pan?

Maru [420]

the width of the cake pan can be found with the following formula
area = W x L=432 in.2
but L= 4/3W
so we have 
area = W x 4/3W=4/3W²=432 in.2, and W²=(3/4)x 432 in.2, and W=18 in

Explain how proving to triangles congruent can help prove parts of the triangle congruent.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

CPCTC - Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

When two triangles are congruent, this means they have the same shape and the same size. To have the same shape, each angle must be congruent. To have the same size, each side length must be congruent. When you know two triangles are congruent you can say each corresponding part of congruent triangles is congruent. This is known as CPCTC.
