Prime numbers are numbers that have only one factor pair; 1 and themselves.

Let's start from 21.

21 = 1 x 21, 3 x 7.
This has two factor pairs, this is not prime.

Let's try 22.

22 = 1 x 22, 2 x 11.
This also has two factor pairs, this is not prime.

Let's try 23.

1 x 23.
This is a prime number, as it only has one factor pair; 1 and itself.

23 is your prime number.

I hope this helps!

For a sale, a store decreases its prices on all items by 25%. An item that costs $120 before the sale now costs $120 - 0,25($120

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$Cost = \$120 * 1 - \$120 * 0.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cost = \$120 - 0.25(\$120)$

Required

Solve using distributive property

$Cost = \$120 - 0.25(\$120)$

$\$120$ can be rewritten as $1(\$120)$

So:

$Cost = 1(\$120) - 0.25(\$120)$

Factorize:

$Cost = \$120(1 - 0.25)$

Now, we can apply distributive property on the expression;

$Cost = \$120 * 1 - \$120 * 0.25$

Hence, the above is an equivalent expression.

Solving further, we have

$Cost = \$120 - \$30$

$Cost = \$90$

Beverage A and Beverage B are sold in identical cans. Beverage A is 6% sugar. The portion of Beverage B that is sugar is 0.21. H

muminat

Answer:

3.5 more times sugar in B

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to see that the fact that Beverage B is 0.21 sugar can be translated to percentages, just by multiplying and dividing by 100 to get it easier to see:

0.21 * 100 /100 = 21/100 = 21% percent

This means that for every 100 units, 21 are sugar.

Now we can compare percentages directly, as both have the same volume because are sold in identical cans. We need to get how many times is 21 greater than 6. The only thing we need to do is the ratio between them:

21/6= 3.5

This implies that 21 is 3.5 greater than 6, you can verify it by multiplying 6 by 3.5 and getting 21.

So, B has 3.5 times more sugar than A.

What is the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept? Choose the correct answer in slope-intercept form and sta

kari74 [83]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y-intercept )

here m = $\frac{1}{3}$ and b = 13, hence

y = $\frac{1}{3}$ x + 13 ← in slope- intercept form

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and AB, C are integers )

multiply all terms in the slope-intercept form by 3

3y = x + 39 ( subtract 3y from both sides )

0 = x - 3y + 39 ( subtract 39 from both sides )

x - 3y = - 39 ← in standard form
