Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+20+x)/3 = (y+16)/2

2(24+x) = 3(y+16)

48 + 2x = 3y + 48

2x = 3y

Since x and y are positive integers, they can't be 0. To satisfy 2x = 3y

We'll have to use LCM of 2 and 3, which is 6 (or a multiple of 6)

For the least value, we use 6

To make both sides 6,

x = 3 and y = 2

Hence x + y = 5

(Scientific Notation in the Real World MC)
Brrunno [24]

The average number of viewers over the two week is D. 4.85 x 10^5.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

It should be noted that the scientific notation simply has to do with writing of numbers that are either too large or too small. This will be illustrated thus:

In this case, the TV show had 5.6 x 10^5 viewers in the first week and 4.1 x 10^5 viewers in the second week.

Therefore, the average number of viewers over the two weeks will be:

= (5.6 × 10^5) + (4.1 × 10^5) / 2

= 4.85 × 10^5

Note that we had to divide by 2 since it's average.

the first Indianapolis 500 auto race took place in 1911. the winning car covered the 500 miles in 6.7 hours. what was the winnin
Vesna [10]

Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

                         =        (500 miles)      /    (6.7 hours)

                         =            (500 / 6.7)  (mile/hour)

                         =                    74.63 miles per hour.

I imagine there were quite a number of pit stops included in that.

This is faster than I expected when I first read your question.
That's really gettin' with it for cars in 1911 !

Please help! This is really important. Don't steal my points by commenting random stuff, this isn't funny its a grade. I worked
vodomira [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can tell that the final number must be -2 from the graph. This means we can cross off A and C. We can also tell that 2/3 must be negative since the graph curves downwards.
