Answer:

The number of cups = 8 ....

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cups

Let y be the number of plates

According to the given statement:

y=2x-4   This is equation 1

Now,

60% = 0.60

y=0.60(x+y)    This is equation 2

Now substitute equation 1 in equation 2.

y=0.60(x+y)

2x-4=0.60(x+2x-4)

2x-4=0.6x+1.2x-2.4

Solve the like terms:

2x-4=1.8x-2.4

2x-1.8x=4-2.4

0.2x=1.6

x=1.6/0.2

x= 8 cups

Therefore the number of cups = 8 ....

Answer: A. EOA and DOS and also

B. SOE and DOA

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at angle EOA without regarding line OB, you will notice that it is directly opposite to angle DOS.

The same applies for angle SOE and DOA so they are vertically opposite.

No because there are 20 multiplied by 3 is 60. So the answer would be 60+144=204x12=2448 but the last answer was still correct

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x+2y=28
malfutka [58]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, place the given equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx +b format) to find its slope easier. Isolate the y:

2x + 2y = 28\\2y = -2x + 28\\y = -x+14

So, the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = -x + 14. When an equation is in slope-intercept form, the m, or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. Thus, the slope for the given line would be -1.

2) Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other. We need to find the opposite reciprocal of -1, then.

To find the opposite reciprocal of a number, write the given number as a fraction first -- making -1 be written as   -\frac{1}{1} -- then switch the sign and flip the numerator and denominator. So, the opposite reciprocal of -1 is 1, and 1 is the slope of the perpendicular line.
