<u>Answer:</u>

The length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. If a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches then the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that the length of a paper clip chain is directly proportional to the number of paper clips. Directly propotional means when the length of paper clip increases, then the number of paper clips also increases in same ratio.

Hence, by above definition, we get  

\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}} = \frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}  ------- eqn 1

From question, for a chain with 65 paper clips has a length of 97.5 inches, we get  

l_{1} = 97.5 \text { and } n_{1} = 65

Similarly, for a chain with 14 paper clips with length to be found, we get  

n_{2}=14 \text { and } l_{2} = ?

Now by using eqn 1, we can calculate the length of 14 paper clips  is,

\frac{97.5}{65}=\frac{l_{2}}{14}

Rearranging the terms we get,

l_{2 }= \frac{97.5 \times 14}{65}

l_{2}=21 \text { inches }

Hence the length of chain with 14 paper clips is 21 inches.

Which of these equations have no solution? Check all that apply.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

B and E

Step-by-step explanation:

(26x+2)+2=2(x+3)+1 - solution = 1/8

2x+3(x+5)=5(x-3) - NO SOLUTION

4x+3=x+12 - solution = 3

4 - (2x + 5) = {(-4x - 2) - solution = -1/2

5(x + 4) - X= 4(x + 5) - 1​ - NO SOLUTION

Use the slope intercept form to write an equation
postnew [5]
Given:

Slope = -3/5

y - intercept = (0 , 5)

The answer is y = -3/5 + 5

Note:

The x = 0 and the y = 5 . We are looking for y- intercept so we use 5 instead of 0. 

Since the formula for slope intercept form is y = mx + b, we use option number 4 as our equation. for option number 1, it did not include the negative sign that was given in the slope so we opt to choose option 1.
