Answer: There are 4 tubes of paint she purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount spend on tubes of paint and brushes for an art project = $16

Cost of each tube of paint = $3

Cost of each brush = $0.50

Let the price of tube of paint be 'x'.

Let the price of brush be '2x'.

So, According to question, it becomes,

$3x+0.50\times 2x=16\\\\3x+x=16\\\\4x=16x\\\\x=\dfrac{16}{4}\\\\x=4$

Hence, there are 4 tubes of paint she purchased.

Answer is parallel lines
Reason - same slope (3x) and different y intercept means they will be parallel lines because their slope is the same but they will cross the y axis at different points.

I changed the first equation to y intercept form
y = 3x - 10 to match the other equation
y = 3x - 6

A pail hold 6 3/4 gallon of water. how much is this in cups

Ber [7]

There are 16 cups in 1 gallon so you would have to turn the denominator in the fraction into a 16 meaning you would multiply by 4 (because 4 goes into 16, 4 times). Your new fraction is 12/16. now you do 6 gallons*16 cups and you get 96 cups. Then you add the fraction onto 96 and you would be adding 12. Your final answer is 108 cups in 6 3/4 gallons

Help please now i cant figure it out

Answer:

a. $\frac{-11}{24}$

b. $\frac{-3}{2} \\$

c. $\frac{31}{7}$

d. $\frac{11}{16}$

11, 3, 31, 11 = code

Step-by-step explanation:

a. $\frac{-1}{6}\\$ * 2 $\frac{3}{4}$ =

2 $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{4*2+3 }{4}$ = $\frac{11}{4}$

$\frac{-1}{6}\\$ * $\frac{11}{4}$ = $\frac{-1*11}{6*4}$ = $\frac{-11}{24}$

b. $\frac{3}{16}$ / $\frac{-1}{8}$ =

$\frac{3}{16}$ * $\frac{8}{-1}$ = $\frac{3*8}{16*-1} \\$ = $\frac{24}{-16}$ = $\frac{-3}{2} \\$

c. $\frac{-31}{56}$ * $\frac{-8}{1}$ = $\frac{31}{7}$ (you can reduce 8 & 56 by dividing by 8: 56/8=7 & -8/8= -1)

d. 1 $\frac{7}{8}$ / 2 $\frac{8}{11}$ =

1 $\frac{7}{8}$ = $\frac{8*1+7}{8}$ = $\frac{15}{8}$

2 $\frac{8}{11}$ = $\frac{11*2+8}{11}$ = $\frac{30}{11}$

$\frac{15}{8}$ * $\frac{11}{30}$ = $\frac{11}{16}$ (you can reduce 15 & 30 by dividing by 15: 15/15=1 & 30/15 = 2)
