Megan sprinkled 27/40 of the powdered sugar on the brownies.
3/4 = .75
.75 / 10 = .075
.075 x 9 = .675
.675 = 675/1000
675/1000 = 27/40

Which system or equation is represented in the graph?

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

$(A)\displaystyle \begin{array} {ccc} \displaystyle y = - 2 \\ x - 2y = 6\\ \end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Equation of the blue line:</h3>

since the line is horizontal and passes <u>-</u><u>2</u> the equation of the blue line should be

$\displaystyle \large y = - 2$

<h3>Equation of the red line:</h3>

remember The form of equation of a line

$\displaystyle \boxed{ \displaystyle y = mx + b}$

where m is slope of the line and b is the y-intercept we can clearly see that the red line crosses y-axis at (0,-3) therefore b=-3

to figure out m we can consider the following formula:

$\displaystyle m = \frac{ \Delta y}{ \Delta x}$

from the graph we acquire ∆y=1 and ∆x=2

thus substitute:

$\displaystyle m = \frac{ 1}{ 2}$

so we have figured out m and b

therefore our equation of blue line is

$\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{2} x - 3$

our given options are in standard form so

move -3 to left hand side and change its sign:

$\displaystyle y + 3= \frac{1}{2} x$

cross multiplication:

$\displaystyle 2y + 6= x$

move 6 to right hand side and x to left hand side and change its sign

$\displaystyle - x + 2y = - 6$

multiply both sides by -1:

$\displaystyle x - 2y = 6$

hence, our system of linear equation is

$\displaystyle \begin{cases} \displaystyle y = - 2 \\ x - 2y = 6\\ \end{cases}$

{8x-10y=20 and -7x+10y-20

lidiya [134]

Write the equations:

8x-10y=20

-7x+10y=20

Add them using elimination

x=40

Now solve for y

8(40)-10y=20

10y=300

y=30

So there you have it: x=40, y=30.

Ebi, Jose, Derell, and Asami measured their heights. Ebi's height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height. Jose's height was 3.1 c

irga5000 [103]

Start with assigning each person with a variable to represent their height

Ebi: e
Jose: j
Derell: d
Asami: a

Ebi'd height was 2.5 cm greater than Jose's height

j + 2.5 = e

Jose's height was 3.1 cm greater than Derell's

d + 3.1 = j

Derell's height is 0.4 cm less than Asami's height

a - 0.4 = d

Ebi is 162.5 cm tall

e = 162.5

So, plug in 162.5 into any of the above equations were there is a variable of e

j + 2.5 = e

j + 2.5 = 162.5

Subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation

j = 160 cm

Jose's height is 160 cm

Now, plug in 160 into any of the above equations where there is a j

d + 3.1 = j

d + 3.1 = 160

Subtract 3.1 from both sides of the equation

d = 156.9 cm

Derell's height 156.9 cm

so, plug in 156.9 into any of the above equations where there is a d

a - 0.4 = d

a - 0.4 = 156.9

Add 0.4 on both sides of the equation

a = 157.3 cm

Asami's height is 157.3 cm
