Equation
Let the number = x
(2/3)x + x = 20 Change the x to thirds.
(2/3)x + 3/3x = 20 3/3 = 1 Now combine the like terms.
(2 + 3)/3 = 20 2/3 + 3/3 = 5/3
(5/3) x = 20 Multiply both sides by 3/5
(5/3)*(3/5)x = 20*3/5 Complete the multiplication on the right
x = 4 * 3 Combine
x = 12 Answer
Answer:
<em>y = 8.25x</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Modeling</u>
Some events can be modeled as linear functions. If a situation comes where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict unknown behaviors.
The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:

The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be found as follows:

Let's use linear modeling to represent Steven's earnings he makes babysitting. Call y the money he charges by x hours of work.
We know he charges y1=$33 for x1=4 hours, and y2=$57.75 for x2=7 hours. The ordered pairs are (4,33) and ( 7, 57.75)
Computing the equation of the line we have:

Operating:



y = 8.25x
There is a proportional relationship.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this question and you will use exponents.
When you fold your paper three times, it is represented as two cubed or 2^3.
When you for your other sheet of paper two times, it is represented as two squared or 2^2.
Put Both of these together and you have 8+4 which equals 12.
It will take 12 layers of paper.
