Answer:

60 maths books

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the following be:</u>

  • Maths books = m
  • Science books = s
  • History books = h

<u>And we have ratios and sum:</u>

  • m/s = 3/2
  • s/h = 1/3
  • m+s+h = 220

<u>From the ratios we get:</u>

  • m = 3s/2
  • h= 3s

<u>Considering the above in the sum of books:</u>

  • m+s+h = 220
  • 3s/2 + s + 3s = 220
  • 3s + 2s + 6s = 2*220
  • 11s = 440
  • s = 440/11
  • s = 40

<u>Number of maths books:</u>

  • m = 3s/2 = 3*40/2 = 60

The slope-intercept from of the equation of a line that passes through (-2,-13) is y = 5x – 3. What is the point-slope from of t
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

y + 13 = 5(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

given y = 5x - 3 with m = 5 and (a, b) = (- 2, - 13), then

y +13 = 5(x + 2) ← in point- slope form

HELP ME I WILL BRAINLIST U ​
ANEK [815]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

This question you can use simple elimination, can save you time if it's right. Obviously its not A or B as the hypotenous needs to be bigger than the base. Knowing the base is 32, there is not enough room to justify an additional 20 feet, eliminating D. Answer must be C. If you wanted to do it the right way use trig/socatoa to find the missing hypotenouse as the top angle of the triangle is 45, just like the other upside down one.
