PLEASE HELP (image included) Graph the solution of the equation b - 11 = -8

It is the third number line.

b-11=-8

What minus 11 would equal -8? 3!

8+3=11 so it would make sense that the dot would be on 3.

smaller numbers minus larger numbers (such as this equation) always end up being negative, so if you have the answer and at least one of the other numbers, it will be easy to figure out.

In this case you would want to maybe just imagine 11-8=? or go 8+?=11.

11-8=3 and 8+3=11. There you would have your missing number.

Write the equation for the graphed function. I worked out y = 5 - 4 (x + 4)^2 but that isn't right. Any help would be appreciate

alexira [117]

Vertex form for a parabola with vertex (p,q) is

$y = a(x-p)^2 + q$

We have (p,q)=(-4,5) and another point (-3,2) so we can solve for a:

$2 = a(-3 - -4)^2 + 5$

$2 = a + 5$

$a = -3$

Putting it together,

Answer: $y = -3(x + 4)^2 + 5$

We could multiply that out if we like but I won't bother.

There are 3 3/4 pounds of bricks in a bag. Each brick weighs 5/8 of a pound. How many bricks are in the bag.

Bess [88]

Answer: There are 6 bricks in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from mixed number to decimal number. To do it, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator and add the result to the whole number part. Then:

$3\frac{3}{4}\ lb=(3+0.75)\ lb=3.75\ lb$

Convert from fraction to decimal number. To do it you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. Then, you get:

$\frac{5}{8}lb=0.625\ lb$

Let be "x" the number of bricks in the bag.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{0.625}=\frac{x}{3.75}$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$(3.75)(\frac{1}{0.625})=x\\\\x=6$

Ex. 11 An apple computer has a retail price of $1000. Jim's House of Electronics is having a "20%-off sale",

Elina [12.6K]

He would have to pay $560 because if you take 20% off of the computer using the equation 1000 - (1000 * 0.20) you get 800. This means that the 30% coupon is applied to $800, so using the same template as the equation above, we can do 800 - (800 * 0.30) to get a final answer of 560.
