Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be a
30-3a= -6
collect the like terms
30+6=3a
3a=36
a=12
The number is 12
Answer:
A) answer c ; B) X+3.7=15.3 ; C) 15.3 - 3.7 = 11.6 ---> 11.6+3.7=15.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution for A: First you have to look for the line underneath the bar says 15.3 as this will represent the total amount of liters in the bucket altogether. This would be bar c since we also know that we have 3.7 liters added but are missing the amount that was previously inside the bucket.
Solution for B: Let X resemble the unknown amount of water. To solve B, we need to write an equation. We know that there was already an amount of water in the bucket prior to us pouring more in so X is our first addend. We then added 3.7 liters of water to the unknown amount so that is our next addend giving you X+3.7=15.3
Solution for C: Now that we know our equation, we do the inverse operation (subtraction) in order to figure out the missing amount of water. This means we do
15.3 - 3.7 = 11.6
y=mx+b is the equation of a line;
m=slope , b= y-intercept
You can find the slope with this following equation: (y(2)-y(1))/(x(2)-x(1))
In this case the points are (0,4) and (-2,-3). The first set being (0,4) and the second (-2,-3). This means (0,4) can be expressed as (x(1),y(1)) and (-2,-3) expressed as (x(2),y(2)). Plugging these numbers into the slope equation gives us: (-3-4)/(-2-0) = -7/-2 = 7/2.
m= 7/2 ; so we have : y= (7/2)x+b
We are give a set of points which it passes through, we can simply plug them in:
4 = (7/2)(0)+b (0 is the x and 4 is the y)
We get 4 = 0 +b .... 4=b
our final equation is : y=(7/2)x+4
