Answer:

The answer to your question is r = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (4, -11)

B (8, r)

slope = m = 2

r = ?

Process

1.- Use the slope equation to find the coordinate r.

Formula

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Substitution

$m = \frac{r + 11}{8 - 4}$ = 2

2.- Simplify

$\frac{r + 11}{4} = 2$

3.- Solve for r

Multiply both sides by 4

$\frac{4(r + 11)}{4} = 2(4)$

Simplify

r + 11 = 8

Subtract 11 in both sides

r + 11 - 11 = 8 - 11

Simplify

r = -3

The LCM of two numbers is 60.the sum of the numbers is 32

mihalych1998 [28]

Write down some possibilities of the 2 numbers that add up to 32 first.
16+16, 15+17, 14+18, 13+19, 12+20

12 and 20 works because 12*5=60 and 20*3=60

Your answer is 12 and 20 (:

Answer:

√

Explanation:

there are no whole numbers which multiply to - 3

and sum to - 4

we can solve using the method of

completing the square

the coefficient of the

Help 0.06 is 10 times as much as

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

0.06 is 10 times as much as 0.006

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

as per the condition 0.06 is 10 times as much as x.

Solve for x:

10 times as much as x represents as $10 \times x$

Then;

$0.06 = 10 \times x$ ......[1]

Division property of equality states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

divide by 10 to both sides in equation [1];

$\frac{0.06}{10} = \frac{10x}{x}$

Simplify:

x = 0.006

Therefore, 0.06 is 10 times as much as 0.006

Two pairs of statements about Jeff's housing expenditures are given below. How can both pairs of statements be true?

Irina18 [472]

Explanation:

Pair 1 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $600/20% = $3,000.

Pair 2 is true if Jeff's monthly income is $1200/10% = $12,000.

Both pairs can be true if Jeff's monthly income increased by a factor of 4 in the 20 years from 1990 to 2010.

Obviously, Jeff spent more on housing in 2010. (Fortunately for Jeff, that larger expenditure was a smaller fraction of his income.)
