From the second:

2x-y=4

x=(4+y)/2 and applying this to first:

4+y+3y=12

4y+4=12

4y=8

y=2 and since x=(4+y)/2, x=3 so

x+y=2+3=5

1. Slope = rate of change
Shown on the graph, for 2016 there are 36 entries. For 2017, there are 40
Since it’s only one year
You can subtract 36 from 40
40 - 36 = 4
Solution: the slope is 4

2. Months increase the most, the lines which are steeper and going upward (since it’s increasing)
Solution: from 2015 to 2016

How many different ways are there to rearrange the letters of the word EXAM, if you don't care if the results is a recognizable

Vlada [557]

In this case, all letters are unique.

Start by holding the first letter:
E - XAM
E - XMA
E - MAX
E - MXA
E - AXM
E - AMX
So there are 6 combinations here.

Repeat for all 4 letters.

6 x 4 = 24

This is same as 4x3x2x1.

For 3 unique characters, it is 3x2x1.
For 5 unique characters, it is 5x4x3x2x1
And so on...

Solve the equation X/-2=5

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed {x = -10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of $x$ :

$\frac{x}{-2} = 5$

-Multiply both sides by $-2$

$x = 5 \times (-2)$

$\boxed {x = -10}$

So, therefore, value of $x$ is $-10$ .
