It would take you 35 minutes.

Since it takes 10 minutes to peel 4 potatoes, you can assume it would take 30 minutes to peel 12 potatoes (mulitiplying both numbers by 3). Then you'd add 5, instead of 10 because you are peeling 2 more potatoes than 12, instead of peeling 4, you'd divide 10 by 2 to get half the time it would take to peel half as many potatoes. Finally, add 30 and 5 to get you final answer of 35.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Complex and imaginary number

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's write the number $-16.2i$ in the form of $a+bi$ .

$0+ (-17)i$

Since $-16.2i$ can be written in the form of $a + bi$ , where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers, it is a complex number.

Also, since $a=0$ , it is also an imaginary number.

$-16.2i$ is complex and imaginary.

2. $\displaystyle y = -\frac{5}{7}x + 2$

1. $\displaystyle y = -2x + 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

3. 2x - 5y = −7

- 2x - 2x

__________

$\displaystyle \frac{-5y}{-5} = \frac{-2x - 7}{-5} \\ \\ y = \frac{2}{5}x + 1\frac{2}{5}$

2. 5x + 7y = 14

- 5x - 5x

__________

$\displaystyle \frac{7y}{7} = \frac{-5x + 14}{7} \\ \\ y = -\frac{5}{7}x + 2$

1. 6x + 3y = 12

- 6x - 6x

__________

$\displaystyle \frac{3y}{3} = \frac{-6x + 12}{3} \\ \\ y = -2x + 4$
