Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

This is basically saying "8 is 5% of what number (total)"?

<u>Note:</u> 5% in decimal is 5/100 = 0.05

When translating a word statement into algebra, we need to note that "is" means "equal" and "of" means "multiplication".

Let's translate <u>"8 is 5% of what number (total)"</u> (letting total number of coins be n):

8 = 0.05 * n

<em>solving, gives us:</em>

<em>8 = 0.05*n</em>

<em>n = 8/0.05 = 160</em>

<em />

<em>Hence, total number of coins Mia has is 160</em>

A function f(x) is graphed on the coordinate plane.
Sidana [21]

Answer: y = - 4x + 2


Explanation:


The graph shows a linear function, which is a first degree polynomial, whose form is ax + b.


The rule or fucntion is f(x) = y = ax + b. This form is called the slope-intercept form, because the coefficient a is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.


The graph permits you to calculate both parameters.


1) The slope, a is defined in this way:

  • a = rise / run = [change in y] / [change in x] = [y₂ -y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]
  • you can use the points (0, - 2) and (-1,2):

       ⇒ a = [ 2 - (-2) ] / [ -1 - 0 ] = 4 / (-1) = - 4

2) b, the y-intercept, is the value of the function, y, when x = 0. In the graph you can see that this is - 2. b =  - 2.


3) Substituting the values of a and b in the form y = ax + b, you the rule:

  • y = - 4x - 2

Last question of my homework pls &lt;3​
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

J(2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the section formula

x_{J} = \frac{1(-2)+2(4)}{2+1} = \frac{-2+8}{3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2

y_{J} = \frac{1(1)+2(7)}{2+1} = \frac{1+14}{3} = \frac{15}{3} = 5

Thus J = (2, 5 )

Solve the following proportion for v. <br>8/5 = v/6 <br>Round your answer to the nearest tenth.​
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

v=\frac{48}{5}=9\frac{3}{5} \\

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{5}=\frac{v}{6}

Swap sides:

\frac{v}{6}=\frac{8}{5}

Multiply to both sides by 6:

\frac{v}{6}\cdot6=\frac{8}{5}\cdot6

Group like terms:

\frac{1}{6}\cdot6v=\frac{8}{5}\cdot6

Simplify the fraction:

v=\frac{8}{5}\cdot6

Multiply the fractions

v=\frac{8\cdot6}{5}

Simplify the arithmetic:

v=\frac{48}{5}
