Sub x=-5+2y
2(-5+2y)+4y=14
y=3
There are two pints in a quart
so 3 times 2 equals 6
3 qt = 6 pt
Answer: y = -4x-9
Step-by-step explanation:
parallel slope means it's the same slope as the given equation
y+1=-4(x+2)
y+1 = -4x-8
y = -4x-9
Answer: 45ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let assigned the value of x to the unknown lenght.
Therefore, the Length = xft
The with is 1/3 of the length and this. = 15ft.
Now , to get the length, we equate both together and then solve for x .
1/3 of x = 15
x/3 = 15
To get x, we multiply both side by 3
x = 45ft
The of the pool = 45ft.
This is tricky. Fasten your seat belt. It's going to be a boompy ride.
If it's a 12-hour clock (doesn't show AM or PM), then it has to gain
12 hours in order to appear correct again.
How many times must it gain 3 minutes in order to add up to 12 hours ?
(12 hours) x (60 minutes/hour) / (3 minutes) = 240 times
It has to gain 3 minutes 240 times, in order for the hands to be in the correct positions again. Each of those times takes 1 hour. So the job will be complete in 240 hours = <em>10 days .</em>
Check:
In <u>10</u> days, there are <u>240</u> hours.
The clock gains <u>3</u> minutes every hour ==> <u>720</u> minutes in 240 hours.
In 720 minutes, there are 720/60 = <u>12 hours</u> yay !
_________________________________
If you are on a military base and your clocks have 24-hour faces,
then at the same rate of gaining, one of them would take 20 days
to appear to be correct again.

Note:
It doesn't have to be an analog clock. Cheap digital clocks can
gain or lose time too (if they run on a battery and don't reference
their rate to the 60 Hz power that they're plugged into).
