Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

10 hours           x hours

-------------- = -------------

15 logs            9 logs

Using cross products

90 = 15x

Divide by 15

90/15 = 15x/15

6 = x

6 hours

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Jovie has maintained the fire burning with 15 logs for 10 hours.

● 15 => 10

Let's find how many hours do 9 logs keep the fire burning.

Let x be that time

● 9 => x

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● 15 => 10

● 9 => x

● 15 * x = 9×10

● 15x = 90

● x = 90/15

● x = 6

So the time that the fire will keep burning is 6 hours.

Through: (6, 2), perpendicular to<br> y = -x-5 <br> in slope intercept form
True [87]

Answer:

y = x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x-5

Slope of line is -1.

Slope of perpendicular to line is 1.

Point-slope equation for line of slope 1 that passes through (6,2):

y-2 = 1(x-6)

Rearrange equation to slope-intercept form:

y = 1(x-6) + 2

y = x-4

Solve the inequality and describe the solution set:<br> y-6 ≥ 12
Finger [1]
Y<span>≥18

You want to get the y only on one side of the equation. To get rid of the -6 you  have to add 6 to both sides to even out the equation.

y-6</span><span>≥</span><span>12
 +6 +6
y </span>≥18

1/4x+3/4y=1 please solve (linear equation)
stealth61 [152]
Convert this to slope-intercept form

subtract 1/4x, 

3/4y=1-1/4x

then multiply my 4/3

y=4/3-1/3x

y=-1/3x+4/3

4/3 is the y-intercept, so when you're graphing begin with it. Then find another point on the graph according to the slope. Plot point (0,4/3) then plot a point with a y-value 1 less and an x-value 3 more. (slope is sometimes called rise over run because it is a ratio of the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value) Plot point (3,1/3). Connect the dots with a ruler and draw a line.
