Let x = the numbers of girls
thus
the numbers of boys = 2x
x + 2x = 27
3x = 27
x = 9
2x = 2 . 9 =18
girls = 9 & boys = 18
You multiply 86 by 42.5 because each board is 42.5 and there are 86 boards.
Answer:
The y-intercept in coordinate form is (0, 4.5) and represents the taxi pick-up fee. The equation is y=1.5x + 4.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is asking for the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation. A linear equation makes a straight line based on a constant rate of change. For this problem, the cost per mile is the slope, while the independent variable 'x' is the number of miles and the dependent variable 'y' is the total cost. In order to first find slope, you need to use the two points given (7, 15) and (10, 19.5) to set up a change in y / change in x, or (19.5-15)/(10-7) or 4.5/3 which is 1.5. So the slope, or cost per mile is $1.50. To find the y-intercept (b), or the cost of the pick-up fee, simply fill in your equation y=1.5x + b with your other variables and solve for 'b'. So, 15 = (1.5 x7) + b. or 15 = 10.5 +b, subtract 10.5 from both sides of the equation to get b=4.5.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² - 6x + 8 and g(x) = x + 2
To solve f(x) = g(x), equate the right sides, that is
x² - 6x + 8 = x + 2 ← subtract x + 2 from both sides
x² - 7x + 6 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 1)(x - 6) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6
These solutions can be verified from the tables, that is
f(x) = g(x) = 3 ← when x = 1
f(x) = g(x) = 8 ← when x = 6
