Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

you can easily solve this by using a simple rule of three.

Step 1

Define

a sporting goods company can ship 6 footballs in each carton

6 footballs ⇔ 1 cartons

then,how many cartons are needed to ship 75 footballs?

75 footballs ⇔ x? carton

Step 2

do the relation and solve for x

$\frac{ 6\ footballs }{1\ carton}=\frac{ 75\ footballs }{x\ carton} \\\ 6\ footballs *x\ carton= 75\ footballs *1\ carton \\x\ cartons=\frac{75\ footballs *1\ carton}{6\ footballs } \\x\ cartons=12.5 cartons\\x=12.5$

you can not use 0.5 cartons, so you will need 13 cartons

I really hope it helps, Have a great day.

The graph of an absolute value function opens down and has a vertex of (-3,0).

I wrote the domain and range in interval notation, not sure if that’s how you’re asked to do it. This is how I was taught to state the domain/range of a graph.

Find the value of x² - x+1 when x=√3 -1, in the form a+b√3 where a and b are integers

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$6-3\sqrt{3}$

If you compare this to $a+b\sqrt{3}$ , then $a=6$ and $b=-3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given $x=\sqrt{3}-1$ and we are asked to find the value of $x^2-x+1$ .

So we will need to find $x^2$ .

$x=\sqrt{3}-1$

Square both sides:

$x^2=(\sqrt{3}-1)^2$

Expand using identity: $(x-a)^2=x^2-2ax+a^2$ .

$x^2=(\sqrt{3})^2-2(\sqrt{3})(1)+1^2$

$x^2=3-2\sqrt{3}+1$

$x^2=4-2\sqrt{3}$

Let's go back to the full $x^2-x+1$ .

$x^2-x+1$

$(4-2\sqrt{3})-(\sqrt{3}-1)+1$

$4-2\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}+1+1$

$6-3\sqrt{3}$

If you compare this to $a+b\sqrt{3}$ , then $a=6$ and $b=-3$ .

Which of these describes the equation –18x + 9y = –416?

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

We conclude the equation is linear because it can be rewritten in the form $y = mx + b$ .

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line or linear equation

$y = mx+b$

where

$m$ is the slope

$b$ is the y-intercept

<u>Important Tip:</u>

The graph of a linear equation is always a straight line.

Convert the given equation in the slope-intercept form

$18x + 9y = -416$

subtract 18x from both sides

$18x+9y-18x = - 18x-416$

simplify

$9y = -18x - 416$

divide both sides by 9

$y=-2x-\frac{416}{9}$

Now, comparing the equation $y=-2x-\frac{416}{9}$ with a slop-intercept form of linear equation

The slope m = -2

The y-intercept b = -416/9

Therefore, we conclude the equation is linear because it can be rewritten in the form $y = mx + b$ .

From the attached graph, is also clear that the graph of the equation $y=-2x-\frac{416}{9}$ is a straight line.

Hence, option D is correct.
