If you take 240 divided by 12 = 20
Then take 180 divided by 12 = 15
Take 20-15=5 after 5 days they had 180lbs left

Answer:

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up linear equation; food= 240-12(day) f=240-12d

f(1)=240-12(1)=240-12=228

f(2)=240-12(2)=240-24=216

Now set food to equal 180, solve for days:

180=240-12d

-240  -240

-60=-12d

/-12  /-12

5=d

To check: f(5)=240-12(5)=240-60=180

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the<br> graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2?)
Advocard [28]

The slope of a line perpendicular to the

graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2 is -3/5.

<h3>How to find the slope of a line?</h3>

given that the equation is 5x - 3y = 2.

now write the equation in standard form y = mx + b

then -3y = 2 - 5x

y = -2/3 + 5x/3

y = 5/3x - 2/3

m 1*m 2 = - 1 is the formula for the slopes from a pair of perpendicular lines. where the slopes of the lines are m 1 and m 2.

Here m1 = 5/3 and m2 = -3/5.

Hence,the slope of a line perpendicular to the

graph of the equation 5x - 3y = 2 is -3/5.

When the sum of twice a number and 4 is tripled the result is 72?
mafiozo [28]
The unknown value can be called x.
3(2x +4) = 72
6x +12 = 72
72 - 12 = 6x
6x = 60
x = 6x / 6 
x = 10

X + 6 = −x − 6<br> (so i can ask)kjhgfdccfghjk
ratelena [41]

Answer:

<em>x = -6</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Solve the equation:

x + 6 = -x - 6

We must find the value of x that makes the identity above true.

Let's join all the variables on the left side and the numbers on the right side.

Adding x:

x + 6 + x = -x - 6 + x

The variables cancel out on the right side:

2x + 6 = -6

Subtracting 6:

2x + 6 - 6 = -6 -6

The 6 and -6 are canceled out:

2x = -12

Dividing by 2:

x = -12/2

x = -6
