It is a 50 percent chance because she has ten jelly beans and there are 2o can all together so 10 out of 20 is 50%

Write an equation for a line that is parallel to 2x+5y=15 and passes through the point (-10, 3)

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The equation of the line is,

$y = - \frac{2}{5} x - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to write it in a form of y = mx + b :

$2x + 5y = 15$

$5y = 15 - 2x$

$y = 3 - \frac{2}{5} x$

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 5$

When both lines are parallel to each other, they will have to same gradient value. So the equation of the line is y = (-2/5)x + b. Next, you have to find the value of b by substutituting (-10,3) into the equation :

$y = - \frac{ 2}{5}x + b$

$let \: x = - 10,y = 3$

$3 = - \frac{2}{5} ( - 10) + b$

$3 = 4 + b$

$3 - 4 = b$

$b = - 1$

18. Emma rents a car from a company that rents cars by the hour. She has to pay an initial fee of $75, and then they charge her

love history [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the number of hours.

Total Cost = Fixed Costs + Variable Cost

= Initial Fee + Hourly Charge

= 75 + 9h

Given,

$75 + 9h = 250 \\ 9h = 250 - 75 \\ 9h = 175 \\ h = 175 \div 9 \\ = 19 \frac{4}{9} hr$

Since the car cannot be rent part of an hour, the highest possible whole number is 19 hours.

2/4+3/8. how do I calculate this

solniwko [45]

Well, 2/4 is equivalent to 4/8. So you can turn the 2/4 into 4/8 and then add 4/8 plus 3/8.

Please help me with this.

Answer:

Angl.(QMT) = 134°

Angl.(QMT) = Angl.(QMS)+ Angl.(SMT)

or, 134°= (7x-4)° + (2x+3)°

or, 134° = 7x + 2x -4° +3°

or, 134° = 9x -1°

or, 134° + 1° = 9x

or, 135° = 9x

or, 135°/9° = x

or, 45° = x

x=45°
