<h2>Greatest number of shelves is 4.</h2><h2>Number of adventure book on each shelf is 4.</h2><h2>Number of mysteries book on each shelf is 8.</h2><h2>Number of biographies book on each shelf is 3.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Sally has 16 adventure books, 32 mysteries, and 12 biographies.

The greatest number dividing all the numbers are 4.

So number of shelves is 4.

\texttt{Number of adventure book on each shelf =}\frac{16}{4}=4\\\\\texttt{Number of mysteries book on each shelf =}\frac{32}{4}=8\\\\\texttt{Number of biographies book on each shelf =}\frac{12}{4}=3

Greatest number of shelves is 4.

Number of adventure book on each shelf is 4.

Number of mysteries book on each shelf is 8.

Number of biographies book on each shelf is 3.

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of shelves must be a factor of the number of books from each category. (Because you are using multiple shelves). You are looking for the greatest amount, so you need to greatest, common factor (GCF) from each bunch of books.

GCF of 12, 16, 32 is 4.

Solve for x<br> -x + 4=22
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: x = −18

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + -1x = 22 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + -1x = 22 + -4

-1x = 22 + -4

Combine like terms: 22 + -4 = 18

-1x = 18

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = -18

Simplifying

x = -18

1) Graph y = f(x) = 3(2)%. Adjust the equation to make the y-intercept (0, -3). Which response is not correct?
Karolina [17]

Using the concept of y-intercept, it is found that the response that is not correct is given by:

B) Replace x with -x.

<h3>What is the y-intercept of a function?</h3>

It is the value of the function when x = 0, hence it is the point (0, f(0)).

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = 3(2)^x

The y-intercept is given by:

f(0) = 3(2)^0 = 3

If we just replace x with -x, we still have the same expression as above, hence the y-intercept does not change and option B is the answer to this question.
