Answer:

equation has no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

3|–3x + 9| = –18 (divide both sides by 3)

|–3x + 9| = –6

because by definition, for any value a, |a| must be non-negative

hence |–3x + 9| must give a value that is greater or equal zero

because the right side of the equation is a negative integer, hence the equation has no solutions.

Michelle is building a rectangular landing strip for airplanes .She has material to cover 1/1,500 of a square mile. The landing

ANEK [815]

I think that the missing word here is:
"with the amount of the material that Michelle has"

Let's say that her landing strip is x miles long, then its area would be:

$\frac{1}{6} *x$

We also know how big it is:

$\frac{1}{6} *x= \frac{1}{1 500}$

now, let's multiply both sides by 6:
$\frac{6}{6} *x= \frac{6}{1 500}$
$1 *x= \frac{3}{750}$
$x= \frac{1}{250}$

So the answer is that it would be $x= \frac{1}{250}$ miles wide

CAN SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO THIS PLEASE HELP ME

7nadin3 [17]

Firstly start off with finding the lowest common multiple of 14 and 24. The LCM would be 168. Then you would look at your powers, here you have to choose the highest power of each letter. So 14x^4 and 24x^6 the highest is x^6, then for y it would be y^6 and then for z it would be z^8. So altogether your answer would be 168x^6y^6z^8

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line.<br> (1,3) <br> (0,1)<br> m=4

Anna [14]

Given coordinates (1,3) and (0,1).

In order to find the equation of line, we need to find the slope between given coordinates.

We know slope formula,

m= $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

We have (x1,y1) = (1,3) and (x2,y2) = (0,1).

Plugging values of x1,y1,x2 and y2 in slope formula, we get

$m=\frac{1-3}{0-1}$

Simplifying top and bottom of the fraction we got for slope

$m=\frac{-2}{-1}=2$

We got slope m=2.

We are given second point (0,1), where x-coordinate is 0 and y-coordinate is 1.

y-intercept is a point on y-axis, where x=0.

Therefore, y-intercept = 1.

Now, applying slope-intercept form of the linear equation

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

m=2 and b=1.

Plugging values of m and b in slope-intercept form, we get

y=2x+1.

Therefore, point-slope form for the line is y=2x+1.

Kala purchased a prepaid phone card for $30. Long distance calls cost 9 cents a minute using this card. Kala used her card only

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The call lasted 13 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are told to find the number of minutes a call lasted.

The initial amount on the card is $30 and after making a phone call just once, the balance went down to $28.83

What was used would be 30 - 28.83 = $1.17 or simply 117 cents

Now these long calls come at a cost of 9 cents per minute and we have a total of 117 cents here; the number of minutes is thus 117/9 = 13

This means Kala spent 13 minutes on the call
