Answer:

They are 8, 10 and 12 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shortest piece be x cm. Then:

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30

3x + 6 = 30

3x = 24

x = 8.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 pieces such that each piece is 2 cm longer then the next...

x , x + 2, x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 30

3x + 6 = 30

3x = 30 - 6

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

x + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12

check...

8 + 10 + 12 = 30

18 + 12 = 30

30 = 30 (correct)...it checks out

the ribbon lengths are : 8 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm

Write the equation of the line graphed below in Point-Slope form. Use the point labeled on the graph. State the slope and point.
saw5 [17]

Given:

The graph of a line.

To find:

The point-slope form of the given line.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through the point (1,5) and (0,-1). So, the slope of the line is:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\dfrac{-1-5}{0-1}

m=\dfrac{-6}{-1}

m=6

The slope of the line is 6 and it passes through the point (1,5). So, the point slope form of the line is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y-5=6(x-1)

Therefore, the point-slope form is y-5=6(x-1), slope is 6 and the point is (1,5).

MariettaO [177]
Let Karen works x hours baby sitting
So, she worked (18-x) hours giving music lessons
So,
According to question
5x + 12(18-x)=139
This gives
7*x=77
x=11
So,
<span>Karen worked <em>11 hours baby sitting </em>and (18-11)=7 hours giving music lessons</span>

Explain what each of the following sample correlation coefficients tells you about the relationship between the x and y values i
Alchen [17]

Answer: The description are as follows:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation coefficients is a statistical measure that measures the relationship between the two variables.

(a) r = 1, it means that there is a Perfect positive relationship between the two variables. If there is positive increase in one variable then other variable also increases with a fixed proportion.

(b) r = -1, it means that there is a perfect negative relationship between the two variables. If there is positive increase in one variable then other variable decreases with a fixed proportion.

(c) r = 0, this is a situation which shows that there is no relationship between the two variables.

(d) r = 0.86, this is a situation  which shows that there is a fairly strong positive relationship between the two variables.

(e) r = 0.06, it is nearly zero which represents that either there is a very minor positive relationship between the two variables or there is no relationship between them.

(f) r = -0.89,  this is a situation  which shows that there is a fairly strong negative relationship between the two variables.

Mr. Hartman, the school librarian, is ordering new keyboards and mice for all of the school's computer labs. Each keyboard costs
mario62 [17]

Answer:

3 * 20s

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how much Mr. Hartman will spend in total we first need to multiply the price of the keyboard and mouse by the number of computers in a single computer station. Once we have these products we add them together. Finally, we multiply this new value by 3 since there are a total of 3 computer stations. If we turn this into an expression it would be the following...

3 * (13.50s + 6.50s)

We can even simplify this by first adding the cost of the keyboard and mouse and then multiplying by s

3 * 20s
