Write an equation for the following situation: 15 less than a number is equal to 12

Solve 10/y = 5/2 The solution is y=_

kolezko [41]

Answer:

y is equal to 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, cross multiply and then divide.

10*2 = y*5

20 = 5y

4 = y

2. a. A fish is 12 meters below the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

A. -12 meters

B. 28 meters

C. 40 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface of the ocean would be 0.

Taking this into account, 12 meters below would be 0 - 12, which is -12. Therefore A's elevation would be -12.

For the sea bird, 28 meters above the surface, which is again 0, would be 0 + 28. B's elevation is 28.

Since the fish is 12 meters below the surface and the sea bird is 28 meters above the surface, simply add the two numbers up to get a total of 40 meters. C would be 40 meters.

3 1/2 + 3 1/4 = 6 + (1/2 + 1/4) = 6 + (2/4 + 1/4) = 6 3/4 blocks apart <==

Someone help please!!!

Answer:

y intercept = -5 

slope= 4 

equation: y = 4x - 5

EXPLANATION:

FIRST, you must write the formula for a linear graph , which is y = m(x) + c

where y is any y component and x is it's corresponding x component , m is the gradient or slope and c is the constant or y intercept.

SOLUTION:

y = mx + c

finding the gradient (m)

m = y2 - y1

x2 - x1

=( (-1)-(-5) ) ÷ (1-0)

= -1+5 ÷ 1

= 4

Therefore, the slope is 4

finding the y intercept.

y = 4x + c

in the above equation, I substituted the value I had for the slope or the gradient or m.

SO NOW IM ABOUT TO FIND C

TO FIND C, YOU MUST FIRST PICK A CORRESPONDING Y AND X COMPONENT.

I CHOOSE MY Y = 3 and X = 2

Now I'm going to substitute those values into the formula.

(3) = 4(2) + C

since it's an equation with one variable, no need for simultaneous equations.

3 = 8 + c

3-8 = c

-5 = c

 

SO THATS HOW WE ARRIVED AT -5 AND 4.

 WITH THAT, the equation of the line is y = 4x - 5.

I HOPE IT WAS HELPFUL.
