Let n be a number of balls: n = 14

In one pan you have 8 balls: 8n
In the other pan you have the rest of balls (14 - 8 = 6) along with a <span>weight of 20 grams = 6n + 20
So the pans are balanced:
8n = 6n + 20

Now, just solve the equation:
8n - 6n = 20
2n = 20
n = 20/2
n = 10
So, you know that a ball weights 10 grams.</span>

Answer:

Let x represent the weight of one steel ball. One side will have 8 balls or 8x and the other side will have 14-8 or 6 balls (6x) and the 20 gram weight. 8x = 6x + 20.

A line passes through the point ( 18 , − 11 ) and has a slope of − 5 . Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y = -5x + 79

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

  • m is the slope of the line
  • b is the y-intercept

∵ The slope of the line is -5

∴ m = -5

∵ The form of the equation is y = m x + b

→ Substitute the values of m in the form of the equation

∴ y = -5x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of any point on the line

∵ The line passes through the point (18, -11)

∴ x = 18 and y = -11

∵ -11 = -5(18) + b

∴ -11 = -90 + b

→ Add 90 to both sides to find b

∵ -11 + 90 = -90 + 90 + b

∴ 79 = b

→ Substitute it in the equation

∴ y = -5x + 79

∴ The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y = -5x + 79

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of
erica [24]

Answer:

Between the lengths of 10 and 36 (exclusive).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lengths of any two sides is always greater than the third, the shortest possible length of the third side must be greater than 23 when added to 13. 23-13 = 10, so the third side must be greater than 10.

However, the third side also cannot exceed the length of the sum of the other two sides. 23+13 = 36, therefore the length must be less than 36.

The possible lengths of the third side lie between 10 and 36 (exclusive).

If we use 'l' for length, this range can be represented as follows:

10 < l < 36

Hope this helped!
