Option C
For each value of y, -2 is a solution of -21 = 6y - 9
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, equation is – 21 = 6y – 9
We have to find that whether given set of options can satisfy the above equation or not
Now, let us check one by one option
<em><u>Option A) </u></em>
Given option is -5
Let us substitute -5 in given equation
- 21 = 6(-5) – 9
- 21 = -30 – 9
- 21 = - 39
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
<em><u>Option B)</u></em>
Given option is 3
- 21 = 6(3) – 9
- 21 = 18 – 9
- 21 = 9
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
<em><u>Option C)</u></em>
Given option is -2
- 21 = 6(-2) – 9
- 21 = - 12 – 9
- 21 = - 21
L.H.S = R.H.S ⇒ yes a solution
<em><u>Option D)</u></em>
- 21 = 6(9) – 9
- 21 = 54 – 9
- 21 = 45
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S ⇒ not a solution
Hence, the solution for the given equation is – 2, so option c is correct
Multiply 2 2/4 by 5/8.
First, simplify 2 2/4 to 2 1/2.
Then, convert to improper form (5/2).
5/2 x 5/8 = 25/16
answer: 1 9/16 gallons of water
First day: 25% × 100 = 25 ( miles)
Second day : the remaining distance is 100 - 25 = 75 ( milesl
Third day: 40% × 75 = 30
25 + 75 + 30 = 130 (miles)
The 3r would be the independent variable and m=30 is the dependent variable. Double check the answer though.
