77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).

You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.

e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?

To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.

In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.

(4, -2), y = –2x + 3<br><br> PLS HELP HOW DO I DO THIS?
Alex787 [66]

It looks like your instructor wants you to write in point-slope form.

the equation for point slope form is quite simple

y-y1=m(x-x1)

your variables:

y and x: just state these as they are

m: slope

y1 and x1: the numbers in the point given

keep in mind a double negative equals a positive, so when you come across a negative coordinate you would put + instead of - in your equation.

your final answer would be

y+2=-2(x-4)

I hope this helped :)

please don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions

Which is zero of the polynomial expression 7x+21
swat32

Answer:

The zero is x = -3

  1. Use the Rational Zero Theorem to list all possible rational zeros of the function.
  2. Use synthetic division to evaluate a given possible zero by synthetically dividing the candidate into the polynomial.
  3. Repeat step two using the quotient found with synthetic division.

The Mississippi River is about 4,000 kilometers long. An M&amp;M is about 1 centimeter long. There are 100 centimeters in a mete
harkovskaia [24]
To be able to determine the number of M&Ms that are needed in order to measure the length of Mississippi River, we convert the units to a common one. For this purpose, we convert kilometers to centimeter such that,
 
Length of Mississippi River = (4000 km)(1000 m/1 km)(100 cm/1 m)
                       = 400,000,000 cm

Since there are 400,000,000 cm in the entire length of the river, the answer would also be 400,000,000.

What's the median of these numbers:<br> 14,20,24,16,20,18
faltersainse [42]
The answer to this is 19. The reason why is because the median falls between 18 and 20. After that, you have to take the middle number that falls between 18 and 20. In this case, 19.
