Answer:

D. 7

Step-by-Step Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to know a certain equation: the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b; where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

First, substitute the known values into the equation. I will use the coordinate (3, 19) for x and y values.

y = 19

m = 4

x = 3

b = ?

19 = (4)(3) + b

Then, all we have to do is solve for b.

19 = (4)(3) + b

19 = 12 + b

19 - 12 = 12 + b - 12

7 = b

So, the y-intercept of the line is 7.

Hope this helps!

3<br>Find the value of a <br>in the equation,(3+4√3)(2-a√3)=-18+2√3

ankoles [38]

Given:

The equation is:

$\left(3+4\sqrt{3}\right)\left(2-a\sqrt{3}\right)=-18+2\sqrt{3}$

To find:

The value of a.

Solution:

We have,

$\left(3+4\sqrt{3}\right)\left(2-a\sqrt{3}\right)=-18+2\sqrt{3}$

On simplification, we get

$(3)(2)+(4\sqrt{3})(2)+(3)(-a\sqrt{3})+(4\sqrt{3})(-a\sqrt{3})=-18+2\sqrt{3}$

$6+8\sqrt{3}-3a\sqrt{3}-4a(3)=-18+2\sqrt{3}$

$6+8\sqrt{3}-3a\sqrt{3}-12a=-18+2\sqrt{3}$

$(6-12a)+(8-3a)\sqrt{3}=-18+2\sqrt{3}$

On comparing both sides, we get

$6-12a=-18$

$-12a=-18-6$

$a=\dfrac{-24}{-12}$

$a=2$

And,

$8-3a=2$

$-3a=2-8$

$a=\dfrac{-6}{-3}$

$a=2$

Therefore, the value of a is 2.

Solve 16(t - 1) + 10 > 8(t + 2) + 4(t - 1) + 4t.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is it has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality

16(t - 1) + 10 > 8(t + 2) + 4(t - 1) + 4t

-Expand

16t - 16 + 10 > 8t + 16 + 4t - 4 + 4t

- Group like terms

16t - 8t - 4t - 4t > 16 - 4 + 16 - 10

-Simplify

0 > 18

- It has no solution because the variable is cancelled.
