Describe a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate makes sense

If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah

I’m supposed to find the slope intercept form. The x intercept is (2,0) and the y intercept is (0,6). I keep getting 6/2. But, t

Lilit [14]

$\bf \stackrel{x-intercept}{(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})}\qquad \stackrel{y-intercept}{(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6})} \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{6-0}{0-2}\implies \cfrac{6}{-2}\implies -3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-0=-3(x-2)\implies y=-3x+6$

Find the measure of angle x in the figure below: A triangle is shown. At the top vertex of the triangle is a horizontal line ali

tester [92]

Y = 180 - 52 - 59 = 69 degrees . . . . . . . . (angles on a straight line are supplementary, i.e. add up to 180 degrees)

x = 180 - 69 - 63 = 48 degrees . . . . . . . . (sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees)

Therefore, m/_x = 48 degrees.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x+4y=-23&(1)\\x=3y+1&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute (2) to (1):}\\\\3(3y+1)+4y=-23\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(3)(3y)+(3)(1)+4y=-23\\\\9y+3+4y=-23\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\13y=-26\qquad\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\\boxed{y=-2}\\\\\text{Put the value of }\ y\ \text{to (2)}:\\\\x=3(-2)+1\\\\x=-6+1\\\\\boxed{x=-5}$
