Let the number of cookies that kate eats be ‘n’
kate : n
nacy : 2n-4
avery : 2(2n-4)

n + 2n-4 + 2(2n+4) = 18
7n - 12 = 16
7n = 28
n = 4

kate : 4
nacy : 2x4 - 4 = 4
avery : 2(2x4 - 4) =8

Work out m and c for the line: y=3x
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

m = 3, c = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x , or y = 3x + 0 ← is in slope- intercept form

with m = 3 and c = 0

Answer:

  2.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of speed and time is distance. If the distance is the same, then time is inversely proportional to speed. At 60/50 = 6/5 times the speed, the return trip will take 5/6 times the time:

  (5/6)(3 hours) = 2.5 hours . . . time for return trip

Find the points on x-axis where the circle with equation X square + Y square - 8 x - 8 Y - 9 = 0
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(- 1, 0) and (9, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x, that is

x² + y² - 8x - 8y - 9 = 0

x² - 8x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 9)(x + 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 9 =0 ⇒ x = 9

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x- intercepts are (- 1, 0 ) and (9, 0 )
