Answer: The y- intercept is -2. The x-intercept is 2/3
The attachment shows the solutions.
Step-by-step explanation: The y-intercept is the "b" term in the slope-intercept form of the equation. To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for the output and solve for x.
0 = 3x -2 . Add 2 to both sides
2 = 3x . Divide both sides by 3
2/3 = x the x-intercept is 2/3
To find f(-5) substitute -5 for x and solve.
f(-5) = 3(-5) -2
f(-5) = -15 -2
f(-5) = -17
Answer:
Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 240 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.
Together they sold 256 books
To Find : How many did each one of them sell?
Solution:
Let Jessica sold x books
Let Josh sold y books.
Since we are given that Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.
⇒x=15y --a
We are also given that Together they sold 256 books.
⇒x+y=256 --b
Using substitution method
Put value of x from equation a in equation b
⇒15y+y=256
⇒16y=256
⇒
⇒
Thus Josh sold 16 books
Jessica sold books = 15y = 15*16=240
Hence Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 240 books
