Answer:

(2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 x + 3/4 y = -2

2/3 x + 5/6 y = -2

4 (1/2 x + 3/4 y = -2 ) = -2(2x + 3y = -8) Multiply by -2 to eliminate the x's

6 (2/3 x + 5/6 y = -2) = (4x + 5y = -12)

-4x - 6y = 16 combine with the 2nd equation

-1y = 4

y = -4

plug -4 in for y to find x in either equation

1/2x + 3/4 (-4) =-2

1/2x - 3 = -2

1/2x = 1

x = 2

(2, -4)

Josef receives 3$ per hour spent doing chores. So, after x hours of chores, he receives 3x dollars. This money must be added to the 10$ he would receive no matter what, so the total expression is

$m = 10+3x$

We can test the options against the given patterns: in pattern 1, we have one black hexagon and 6 white hexagons. Let's see which equations fit: if we substitute b=1 and w=6 we have:

A) $6 = 6\cdot 1$ - ok

B) $6 = 3\cdot 1 +2$ - wrong

C) $6 = 2\cdot 1 +4$ - ok

D) $6 = 6\cdot 1 + 2$ - wrong

E) $6 = 2\cdot 1 + 3$ - wrong

So, the only feasible answers are A or C, because all the other functions don't fit even the first pattern. Let's test the two survivors for pattern 2: we have two black hexagons and 8 white hexagons. Plugging b=2 and w=8 into A and C we have

A) $8 = 6\cdot 2$ - wrong

C) $8 = 2\cdot 2 +4$ - ok

So, the answer is C, because it models correctly pattern 2 as well. For the sake of completeness, let's test this function against pattern 3 as well: we have 3 black and 10 white hexagons. Plugging b=3 and w=10 into C we have

C) $10 = 2\cdot 3 +4$ - ok

So, C models correctly all patterns, and thus describe the general rule.

Sophie has to water her aloe plant every 18 days and her spiral cactus every 30 days .if she waters both plants today,how long w

Serggg [28]

Answer:

both watered on the same day, If we multiply 18 by any number such as 2,3,4,5 we can find the next soonest date that they will both be watered on. 18*2,3,4,5 30,2,3,4,5

18*2,3,4 are not multiples of 30, 18*5 is 90

30*2 is not a multiple of 18, 30*3 is 90

Now we know the next closest date they will be watered again is 90 days from now.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

There are 72 inches in 6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are 12 inches in 1 foot.

Jada is working on improving her vertical jump.

Currently, her standing reach is 6 feet from the ground.

Now, to find the inches in 6 feet.

Let the inches in 6 feet be $x.$

As given:

In 1 foot there are 12 inches.

So, 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches.

Thus, 6 feet is equivalent to $x$

Now, to find using cross multiplication method:

$\frac{1}{12} =\frac{6}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$x=72$

So, the inches in 6 feet = 72.

Therefore, there are 72 inches in 6 feet.
