Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

First,

120(2x - 2)=240

multiply 120, by 2x

(240x)

we cant forget the second one, so again, multiply 120, by -2

you get - 240

so now, 240x-240=240

add 240 to the other side

-240+240=0

other side

240+240=480

so, 240x=480

divide by 240 on each side

x=2

Hope this helps, have a nice day!

Find the equation of the line that passes through point (6, 1) with the x-intercept of 2.

34kurt

Answer:

○ $y = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, let's first consider the points whose coordinates we have been given:

• (6, 1)

• (2, 0).

The point (2, 0) is what is called the x-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. This means that at this point, the y-coordinate of the line is 0.

Next, let's calculate the slope (gradient) of the line using the formula:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

where:

m = gradient,

$(x_2, y_2)$ and $(x_1, x_2)$ = points on the line.

Using the formula:

$m = \frac{1 - 0}{6 - 2}$

⇒ $m =\bf \frac{1}{4}$

Finally, now that we have two points on the line as well as the line's slope, we can use the following formula to find the equation of the line:

$\boxed{y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}$

You can use any of the points on the line as $y_1$ and $x_1$ .

Using (2, 0):

$y - 0 = \frac{1}{4}( x - 2)$

⇒ $y = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the equation of the line is $y = \frac{1}{4}x - \frac{1}{2}$ .

OLga [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

ack wants to fined out which can pineapples is the best buy. He has a choice of four different -sized cans. Which can has the lowest unit price per ounce?

A. 8 ounce for $ 1.44

B. 6 ounce for $ 1. 14

C. 18 ounce for $ 2.88

D. 10 ounce for $ 1.62

unit price = price / total ounces

$1.44 / 8 = $0.18

$1.14 / 6 = $0.19

$2.88 / 18 = $0.16

$1.62 / 10 = 0.162

the lowest is 18 ounce for $ 2.88
