X=11/5 x=2.2 is slicing for x
<h3>
Answer: y = (-1/2)x - 9/2</h3>
Slope = -1/2
Y intercept = -9/2
=====================================================
Work Shown:
2x + 4y = -18
2(x+2y) = -18 .... factor out 2
x+2y = -18/2 .... divide both sides by 2
x+2y = -9
2y = -9-x .... subtract x from both sides
2y = -x-9
y = (-x-9)/2 ... divide both sides by 2
y = (-x/2) - (9/2) ... break up the fraction
y = (-1/2)x - 9/2
The last equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b with m = -1/2 as the slope and b = -9/2 as the y intercept.
Javier is the answer to number one and thats all ima do someone else is gonna answer the others
2/3
1/8
Would be the simplest forms
I think the answer is 4.5 hours. Equation: y = 2x + 16.5.
Where y represents the total area painted by each person and x represents the time.
There's multiple ways to solve systems of equations, but one method is well suited to this particular problem.
Subtract one entire equation from the other, as in: y = 2x + 16.5 - y = 4x + 7.5 ---------------------- 0 = -2x + 9
Then solve for x, using basic algebra: 2x = 9 x = 9 / 2 x = 4.5
To check your answer, you can plug the x value into both equations: 2 (4.5) + 16.5 = 25.5 4 (4.5) + 7.5 = 25.5 This proves that, at 4.5 hours later, both Naomi and Claire will have painted 25.5 square feet each.
You could also check the answer by graphing both equations and finding the point where the line meets. You will see that the intersection point is (4.5, 25.5).
Hoped I helped!
