In total, they would need 4 pumps. If we divide 55 by 17, we get just more than 3. This little more would need an entire pump. So the answer 4 total, 3 added

How to Graph −12x+18y=34.
andriy [413]

You can graph this two ways. You can change it into slope intercept form, y=mx+b, or find the x- and y-intercepts. To change it to slope intercept form you would need to add 12x to both sides and divide both sides by 18. By doing this, you'd get y=2/3x+17/9. You'd then go up on the y-axis to 17/9 or 1.89 and place a point. You'd then go up two and to the right three and place another point. You can do this one more time and connect the points. To find the x- and y- intercepts you would plug 0 in for x and solve for y, getting 17/9, and plug 0 in for y and solve for x, getting -17/6. You'd then plot the points (-17/6, 0) and (17/9) and connect the points forming a line.

Alan is making a small sign in the shape of a triangle for his store. He wants the height of the triangle to be 4 inches. The ar
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

b < 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Height of triangle,h = 4 inches

Area of triangle =

A = \dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h

where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.

The area of the triangular sign must be less than 18 square inches.

Thus, we can write the inequality:

A< 18\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times b \times h < 18\\\\\Rightarrow b < \dfrac{18\times 2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow b < 9

The above inequality is the required inequality that describes the possible base length of the triangular sign.

Answer:

x2=81    x=9 and x=-9

x2=100  x=10 and x=-10

x=12      nothing you can solve for in this equation. X=12

Step-by-step explanation:

x2=81

Divide 81 by 2 and get x by it self

x2=100

Divide 100 by 2 and get x by it self
