Answer:

$71.82

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 lizards are $47.88 then we would have to do $47.88 divided by 4 lizards. That would equal $11.97 per lizard. Then we do $11.97 multiplied by 6 lizards we would get $71.82

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one- Find out how much it costs for one Lizard In this case, for four lizards it costs $47.88. To find the price for one lizard you divide 47.88 by four

$47.88/4Lizards=$11.97 per lizard.

Step two- Now that we have the price for one lizard, your question asks you how much for 6 lizards. We need to find that cost. To do so you multiply $11.97 by 6 for the lizards.

Your answer is $71.82

Write the slope intercept form of the equation through the given point with the given slope.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

y = 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

With the slope and a point, I can make an incomplete slope-intercept equation and solve for the y-intercept.

$y=3x+b\\\\2=3(2)+b\\\\2=6+b\\\\2-6=6-6+b\\\\-4=b$

The equation is:

$y=3x-4$

two trains leave the station at the same time one heading west and the other East the westbound train travels at 55 miles per ho

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

so... one train goes west and the goes the opposite way... alrite... so... notice, by the time 338 miles have been covered by both, it will have been "t" hours, and whatever "t" is, is the same amount of time the westbound train has been running as well as the eastbound train has been running.

now, let's say, since by "t" hours they've covered 338 altogether, so, if the westbound train has covered say "d" miles, then the eastbound train would have covered the slack from 338 and d, that is, "338 - d".

$\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
Westbound&d&55&t\\
Eastbound&338-d&75&t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=55t\\
338-d=75t\\
----------\\
338-\boxed{55t}=75t
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
338=75t+55t\implies 338=130t\implies \cfrac{338}{130}=t\implies \stackrel{hours}{2.6}=t$

so, 2hours and 36 minutes.

in the school cafeteria students chose their lunch from 3 sandwiches, 3 soups, 4 salads, and 2 drinks. how many different lunche

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's look at the 3 sandwiches and 3 soups first and then expand the calculation. There are 9 ways I can have one of the sandwiches and 1 of the soups:

⎛

⎜

⎝

Soup 1

Soup 2

Soup 3

Sandwich 1

Sandwich 2

Sandwich 3

⎞

⎟

⎠

And so we can see that we multiply the number of sandwiches and the number of soups to get the total number of ways to get one of each.

The same works for more categories of choices, and so we multiply the 3 sandwiches, the 3 soups, 4 salads, and 2 drinks to get:

Solve for x: -7x+2=-4x-7

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to start by adding positive 4x to both sides since the 4x is a negative. 4x + (-7x) = -3x. Then it is just simply -3x+2 = -7. Since 2 is a positive number subtract both both sides by 2. Then you should get -3x = -9. Then divide both sides by -3 and the answer is x = 3.
