Answer: she spent three 1 dollar bills and and four 10 dollar bill.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 1 dollar bills that she used.

Let y represent the number of 10 dollar bill that she used.

She used seven bills to buy a pair of shoes. This means that

x + y = 7

The amount that she spent on the pair of shoes is $43. This means that

x + 10y = 43 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 7 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7 - y + 10y = 43

- y + 10y = 43 - 7

9y = 36

y = 36/9 = 4

x = 7 - y = 7 - 4

x = 3

Find the ratio a:b, if 2a−b/6 = b/3
Tom [10]

Answer:

a:b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to operate with terms in order to arrive to a ratio a:b (or a/b).

We have:

2a−b/6 = b/3

Lets sum b/6 in both sides:

2a−b/6 + b/6 = b/3 + b/6

2a = b/3 + b/6

Now, we can multiply and divide b/3 by 2 to make a 6 appear on the denominator and sum it with b/6, this is, use common denominator:

2a = b/3*(2/2) + b/6

2a = 2b/6 + b/6

2a = 3b/6

2a = b/2, as 3/6 = 1/2

Now lets divide both sides by b to make an a/b appear:

2a/b = (b/2)/b

2a/b = 1/2

Finally, multiply both sides by (1/2) or divide by 2:

(2a/b)/2 = 2

a/b = 2

This is, a is twice as b. If b is 1 so a is 2; if b is 45 so a is 90, and so on.

1. Find the slope and the y-intercept
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

c) slope: -7 ; y-intercept: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

y = (x , y)

m = slope

x = (x , y)

b = y-intercept

Note in this case:

y = (-7)x + 2

y = y

m = -7

x = x

b = 2

c) slope: -7 ; y-intercept: 2 is your answer.

Need help on this! Please someone help!!!
Jet001 [13]

This can be easily solved, especially with a calculator.
With the calculator, you can find that \sqrt{42} is about 6.4807.
Multiply that by 2, you get about 13 inches.

If you can't use a calculator, then you can just estimate. Since we know that \sqrt{36} is 6 and \sqrt{49} is 7, \sqrt{42} is in between them, so you can just say somewhere around 6.5.

Multiply 2 * 6.5 and you get 13 inches.
