Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Y intercept:

Simply substitute all the x values with 0:

When x = 0:

3(0) - 2y = 18

Move the - 2y over to the other side making it a +2y:

0 = 18 + 2y

Move the +18 over to the other side making it a -18:

-18 = 2y

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{-18}{2} = \frac{2y}{2}$

-9 = y

So y intercept is:

X - intercept:

Simply substitute all the Y's with 0:

3x - 3(0) = 18

3x = 18

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{18}{3}$

x = 6

So the X intercept is:

This means that your guess of B is correct.

Answer:

B) → x-intercept = (6, 0) and y-intercept = (0, -9.)

First, we'll work with y, where we'll substitute x by 0:

3(0) - 2y = 18

0 - 2y = 18

-2y = 18 + 0

-2y = 18

y = 18 / -2

y = -9 → y-intercept = 0, -9 ←

↑ Many people wonder where the "0" comes from, and it's just the place where the x-intercept value would be placed in a system of equations.

Second, we'll work with x, following the same method as before, this time, substituting y by 0:

3x - 2(0) = 18

3x - 0 = 18

3x = 18 + 0

3x = 18

x = 18 / 3

x = 6 → x-intercept = 6, 0 ←

↑ Same here. The "0" is just the place where the y-intercept value would be, if we were working with a system of equations.

Hope it helped

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cm/ 2 in = x/ 4.5 in

2x = 4.5 in

4.5/2 = x

2.25 = x

9 to the second power multiply by 3 to the 6 power =3 to the ? power

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ = $a^{m+n}$

$(a^{m})^{n}$ = $a^{mn}$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

$9^{2}$ × $3^{6}$ = (3²)² × $3^{6}$ = $3^{2*2+6}$ = $3^{10}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll take this step by step. The equation is

$8-3\sqrt[5]{x^3}=-7$

Looks like a hard mess to solve but it's actually quite simple, just do one thing at a time. First thing is to subtract 8 from both sides:

$-3\sqrt[5]{x^3}=-15$

The goal is to isolate the term with the x in it, so that means that the -3 has to go. Divide it away on both sides:

$\sqrt[5]{x^3}=5$

Let's rewrite that radical into exponential form:

$x^{\frac{3}{5}}=5$

If we are going to solve for x, we need to multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the power:

$(x^{\frac{3}{5}})^{\frac{5}{3}}=5^{\frac{5}{3}}$

On the left, multiplying the rational exponent by its reciprocal gets rid of the power completely. On the right, let's rewrite that back in radical form to solve it easier:

$x=\sqrt[3]{5^5}$

Let's group that radicad into groups of 3's now to make the simplifying easier:

$x=\sqrt[3]{5^3*5^2}$ because the cubed root of 5 cubed is just 5, so we can pull it out, leaving us with:

$x=5\sqrt[3]{5^2}$ which is the same as:

$x=5\sqrt[3]{25}$
