X = 18 for this one.............
<u>The question is </u>
What is the constant in the expression?
we know that

where
c---------> the cost of Janelle’s cell phone bill
m-------> represents the number of minutes of use
-------> represent the cost per minute (slope of the linear equation)
-------> represent the constant in the expression
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
The constant is 12
-1/3x-4/3y=2
1/3x-2/3y=4
First realize that the coefficient of x is -1/3 and 1/3 which can be eliminated with addition
Adding the two equations together gets
-6/3y=6
Simplify
-2y=6
y=-3
Substitute back into original equation
1/3x-2/3(-3)=4
1/3x+2=4
1/3x=2
x=6
Answer
x=6, y=-3
Check answer
-1/3(6)-4/3(-3) =?= 2
-2+4=2
2=2
Done!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
“the center of the ellipse is located below the given co-vertex”
Co-vertex and center are vertically aligned, so the ellipse is horizontal.
Equation for horizontal ellipse:
(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1
with
a² ≥ b²
center (h,k)
vertices (h±a, k)
co-vertices (h, k±b)
foci (h±c,k), c² = a² -b²
One co-vertex is (-8,9), so h = -8.
One focus is (4,4), so k = 4.
Center (h,k) = (-8,4)
c = distance between center and focus = |-8 - 4| = 12
b = |9-k| = 5
a² = c² + b² = 169
(x+8)²/169 + (y-4)²/25 = 1
Answer:
78 adult tickets were sold
2x + x = 234
3x = 234
x = 78
