Answer:

x + y = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x : y : z = 5 : 1 : 3, then

\frac{x}{y} = 5 ( multiply both sides by y )

x = 5y ←

and \frac{y}{z} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3y = z

Substitute z = 3y into z - y = 28

3y - y = 28

2y = 28 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 14 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into x = 5y

x = 5 × 14 = 70 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into z - y = 28

z - 14 = 28 ( add 14 to both sides )

z = 42 ← ←

Thus x = 70, y = 14 and z = 42

Hence x + y = 70 + 14 = 84

Tell whether the data in the table can be modeled by a linear equation. Explain.
anastassius [24]

Answer:

y = -3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Choosing two points from the given table:

Let (x1, y1) = (-3, 16)

(x2, y2) = (-1, 10)

Plug these given values into the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

   = (10 - 16) / (-1 - (-3))

   = -6 / (-1 + 3)

   = -6/2

   = -3

Therefore, the slope is -3.

Next, choose one of the points and plug into the <u>point-slope form</u>:

Let's use (-1, 10) as (x1, y1):

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 10 = -3(x - (-1))

y - 10 = -3(x + 1)

y - 10 = -3x - 3

Add 10 on both sides to isolate y:

y - 10 + 10 = -3x - 3 + 10

y = -3x + 7

Plzzzz help me with one and two I don’t understand
Ratling [72]
What this question simply asks about is you write the numbers it gave you in only one digit by 10 to the power of n. Where n represents the number of shifts of the decimal point.
And to get this number to be one digit, then you have to approximate.
To approximate; you should always consider that less than 5 counts zero and 5 or more counts+1.
Example:
5.3 is approximately 5
5.5 is approx. 6
5.9 is also approx. 6
and so on.
So the final answers are;
1) 4*10^13
2) 5*10^-11
Please note that 10^positive integer will cause the decimal point to move to the right which means a number greater than 1, usually, while 10^negative integer means number smaller than 1, usually.
Hope this helps.
