Third, the graph decreases from left to right because if you plug it into a graphing calculator - you can see that the line is a straight line, and does not decrease or increase whatsoever
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3c=273
c=91
2c= 212
C= 106
c= 91+ 106= 197
so they will need 197 canoes total
Why:
So first you have to determine a set variable to represent the number of canoes, I chose C. Then you make an equation to represent the number of canoes 273 people will use if they group into 3's, from this I got 3c=273. Solve for C and get 91.
The remainder of the group which is 485-273= 212 will use canoes in groups of 2's. To represent this, 2c=212. Solve for C and get 106. Combine 106 and 91 to get the total number of canoes.
Answer:
X = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 X (5X-8) = -9
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
2 X 1/2 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)
1 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)
Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2
5 x -8 = 2 x (-9)
5 x -8 = -18
Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides
5X -8 + 8=-18 + 8
Then eliminate the opposites
5X = -18 + 8
Calculate the sum
5X = -10
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
5X DIVIDE 5 = -10 DIVIDE BY 5
X = -10 DIVIDE BY 5
X = -2
