Let the height of the tree be x, then
18 inches / 3 feet 9 inches = x / 21 feet 3 inches
18 inches / 45 inches = x / 255 inches
45x = 18 x 255 = 4590
x = 4590 / 45 = 102

Therefore, the tree is 102 inches = 8 feet, 6 inches tall

3x-2y=2<br> i always get mixed up in the final answer y=1 -3/2x 0r y= 1 +-3/2x ?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Both answers are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

both y = 1 - 3/2x and y = 1 + -3/2x are correct answers, it is just that y= 1 - 3/2x is the simpler version. Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive.

Given the equation Y -3 equals 1/2 (X +6 )in point slope form identify the equation of the same line in standard form
liberstina [14]

The standard form of a line:

Ax+By=C

We have the equation of a line in the slope-point form:

y-3=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+6)      use distributive property

y-3=\dfrac{1}{2}x+3       add 3 to both sides

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+6        multiply both sides by 2

2y=x+12       subtract x from both sides

-x+2y=12      change the signs

x-2y=-12
