Answer:

k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2,1) = (x,y) So you substitute -2 and 1 for x and y

1 = -(-2) - 1 1 = 1/2 × -2 + k

1/2 × -2 = -1 -1 + 2 = 1

k = 2 1 = 1/2 × -2 + 2

Advocard [28]

Since 111 is greater than 33, I will assume that you meant 11 votes for a candidate. Also, assuming that each student can vote only once, the answer would be

11/33 x 100=33.333333...

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 18 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the total gallons that the container can hold <em>x.</em>

<em> </em>Then, based on the information given in the problem, you can write the following expression:

$\frac{4}{9}x+4=\frac{2}{3}x$

Now, you must solve for x, as you can see below. Therefore, you obtain the following result:

$\frac{4}{9}x+4=\frac{2}{3}x\\\\4=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{4}{9}x\\\\4=\frac{2}{9}x\\\\4*9=2x\\\\36=2x\\\\x=18\ gallons$
