Answer:

A. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be A because 3 times 3 is 9 and 9-4=5 which is the value o f y. 3x-4=5

add 4 to both sides: 3x=5+4

simplify: 5+4=9

divide both sides by 3: x= 9/3

simplify 9/3 to 3:

x= 3

hope this helps!!

Scorpion4ik [409]

I= sqrt (-1)

If the power is
- even then the value could be -1 or 1
-odd then the value could be -i or i

99 is odd so now is
-i if (99+1)/2 is even or is
i is (99+1)/2 is odd

Now check (99+1)/2= 100/2= 50,
50 is even so
i^99 = -i

Jason watched a caterpillar move 16 feet in 8 minutes. Jason says that the caterpillar's unit rate is 0.5 foot per minute. Is Ja

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Jason is incorrect.

The caterpillar's rate is 2 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of motion is defined as the quotient between the distance covered (in our case 16 feet) divided by the time it took to cover that distance (in our case 8 minutes)

Then, the rate is:

$rate=\frac{distance}{time} = \frac{16\,\,ft}{8\,\,min} = 2\,\frac{ft}{min}$

Write the equation of a line parallel to the line 2x + 3y = 5 and passes through the point (9, -3)

madreJ [45]

Paralell is smae slope so it is
2x+3y=c
find c

given
(9,-3)
x=9
y=-3
evaluate to find the constant, c

2(9)+3(-3)=c
18-9=c
9=c

the equation is 2x+3y=9
