5x-8y=40 what is the x intercept

1 answer:

8 0

Hello! The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis when y = 0. We already have the expression shown. We will plug in 0 as y to get this:

5x - 8(0) = 40.

As you probably know, anything times 0 is 0, so -8 * 0 is 0. All we have is 5x = 40. Divide each side by 5 to isolate the x. 5x/5 cancels out. 40/5 is 8. There. x = 8. The x-intercept is (8, 0).

The Volume of a rectangular prism can be computed by using the formula V=LWH which shows an equation solving for W

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

W = $\frac{V}{LH}$

Step-by-step explanation:

given the formula V = LWH

to solve for W divide both sides by LH, hence

W = $\frac{V}{LH}$

The average grain of salt is 0.0003 meters wide. Rhinovirus, which causes the common cold, is 0.00000003 meters wide. How many t

algol [13]

Answer:

$1\times 10^4\ times$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Width of average grain of salt is, $w=0.0003\ m$

Width of Rhinovirus is, $W=0.00000003\ m$

Now, expressing each width in scientific notation form, we get:

$w=0.0003\ m = 3\times 10^{-4}\ m\\\\W=0.00000003\ m = 3\times 10^{-8}\ m$

Now, in order to get how many times 'W' is wider than 'w', we divide the two widths. This gives,

$\frac{W}{w}=\frac{3\times 10^{-4}\ m}{3\times 10^{-8}\ m}\\\\\frac{W}{w}=1\times 10^{-4-(-8)}=1\times 10^{-4+8}=1\times 10^4\\\\\therefore W=1\times 10^4\times w$
