Divide the silver present in the bar by the total weight of the bar to find the percentage of silver in the bar.

30 / 42 = 0.7142

Multiply this decimal by 100 for the percentage.

.7142 * 100 = 71.42

Rounded to the nearest tenth, 71.4% of the weight of the bar is silver.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form, identify the slope and the y-intercept.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Slope is 2; y-intercept is (0,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form looks like 3y = 2x - 6

In the equation y=mx+b, M is always the slope, and B is always the y-intercept. Therefore if you look back at the problem the slope number should be in front of the x which makes it 2. Since the y-intercept is always b, y = -6.

Slope or m = 2; y-intercept is (0,-6)

Three brothers have ages that are consecutive even integers. the product of the first and third boys' ages is 20 more than wice
vladimir1956 [14]
Let the first brother = x 
second brother = x + 2
third brother = x + 4

<span>The product of the first and third boys' ages is 20 more than twice the second boy's age:

x(x+4) = 2(x+2) + 20
x</span>² + 4x = 2x + 4 + 20
x² + 4x - 2x - 24 = 0
x² + 2x - 24 = 0
(x - 4)(x + 6) = 0
x = 4 or -6 (rejected, age cannot be negative)

First brother = 4
Second brother = 4 + 2 = 6
Third brother = 4 + 4 = 8

The three boys are 4, 6, and 8 years old.

Denise is designing the seating arrangement for a concert an outdoor theater. To give everyone a good view, each row must have 6
vesna_86 [32]
This is an Arithmetic Progression with 1st term 11 and common difference d=6

Number of Rows     Number of seats      Common difference " d" 
-----------------------     -----------------------     -------------------------------------
1st                                  a₁     = 11                                 
2nd                                 a₁+d =17               d =2nd - 1st = 6
3rd                                  a₁ +2d = 23           d =3rd - 2nd = 6
4th                                  a₁ +3d = 29            d= 4th - 3rd = 6
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nth ROW                         a(n) = a₁ + (n-1)d
18th ROW                       a₁₈ =   11 + (18-1).6 = 11+(17)(6) = 113 

General equation to predict the number of seat an the nth row:
Number of seats in nth row = a₁ + (n-1).d

REY [17]

Answer:

D. y=-2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a line perpendicular to another line take the negitive inverse which is fliping the fraction and multiplying it by -1. To see if it crosses a point just plug in for that point.
