Answer:

<u>36 tables are used to seat  the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Round tables = 8 seats

Rectangular tables = 12 seats

Ratio of round tables to rectangular tables = 2:1

Number of students = 336

2. How many tables are used to seat 336 students at the banquet, if no table has an empty seat?

x = Number of rectangular tables

2x = Number of round tables

Let's solve for x, using this equation:

12x + 8 (2x) = 336

12x + 16x = 336

28x = 336

x = 336/28

x = 12 ⇒ 2x = 24

12 + 24 = 36

<u>36 tables are used to seat  the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>

Here, we are missing the slope and the y intercept. 

Lets look for the y intercept first. 

Where does it cross the y axis?  At 3!!

3 is the y intercept. 

Now, find the slope by using the slope formula. 

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}
(0,3) and (2,1)

m = 1-3/2-0 = -2/2 = -2/2 = -1
m = -1

Okay, so we found our slope, now just write the equation. 

Answer: y = -1x + 3

4a+6b=10<br> 2a-4b=12<br><br> what does 12a =?
Usimov [2.4K]
If you have at least as many equations as your have unknown variables, the 'system' is solvable (unless the equations are copies of eachother).

In this case, isolate one letter and plug it in the other. I'm going for the 2a in the bottom one (it doesn't matter)

2a - 4b = 12 => (divide by two and move the b's to the other side)

a = 6 + 2b. (plug this one into the top equation)

4(6+2b) + 6b = 10 => 24+8b+6b = 10 => 24 + 14b = 10 => 14b = -14 => b=-1

a = 6 + -2 = 4.

So a=4 and b=-1.

Y varies directly as X , and Y=1.2 when X=1.6.Solve for points.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

I don' think that Y varies directly like X does because first they're different numbers. Y=1.2 and X=1.6.

Simpfily -39 + 3/2(10)
likoan [24]

Answer:

-38.85   or -24

Step-by-step explanation:

What I do is start with the brackets along with the rest of the numbers involved

2(10) is basically 2 x 10= 20

-39 + 3/20

3/20 = 0.15

-39 + 0.15 = -38.85

Unless if 3/2(10) has 3/2 as a fraction, the answer would be -24
