Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the x-intercept of an equation, you need to set the y value equal to 0:

-2x + 5(0) = -10

-2x =-10

x = 5

Answer:

The x-intercept is at the point (5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 5y = -10

At the x intercept y = 0 so we substitute y = 0 into the given equation:

-2x + 5(0) = -10

-2x = -10

x = 5.

The population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Elmore the combined population of both towns is 9,646 people

zysi [14]

Let the population of Elmore be "X".
Since that the population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Elmore, then it is considered to be "12x".
Since that the sum of both Elmore and Linton is 9.646, then "X + 12x = 9464" x+12x is 13x , so it should be "13x = 9464". Now, it is easy to find the population of Elmore which is 9464 / 13 = 742. Since that the population of Linton is 12 times the population of Elmore, then the population of Linton is "742 * 12 = 8904".

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

in the larger box there are----------> 2*3*4-----> 24 cereal boxes
then

if 1 cereal boxes is---------------> 175 in³
24 cereal boxes----------------> X
X=24*175-------> x=4200 in³

the answer is
<span>the approximate volume of the larger box is 4200 in</span>³
