<span>As of January 8, 2015, the U.S. is $18.1 trillion in debt. (Source: National Priorities Project)

1 Trillion 

= 1 Thousand Billion

= 1,000,000,000,000

= 10</span>¹²
<span>
---------------------------

U.S National debt currently stands at:

$ 18.1 x 10</span><span>¹²
</span><span>
*What information would be lost? Well firstly the 0's. The 0's put the size of the number into perspective. The word "trillion" would also be taken out of the picture, once again altering the perspective of the number.

Personally I'd prefer to hear "18.1 Trillion Dollars". Sounds more interesting.

What is the equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 ​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 ​is y+6=\frac{1}{3}(x+2)

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that line passes through (-2, -6) and has slope of 1/3

We have to find the equation of the line

The point slope form is given as

y-b=m(x-a)

where m is the slope of the line and a, b are the x, y coordinates of the given point through which the line passes.

Here in this question, m = 1/3 and a = -2 and b = -6

By substituting in point slope form we get,

y - (-6) = \frac{1}{3}(x - (-2))\\\\y + 6 = \frac{1}{3}(x + 2)

Hence the equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 ​is y+6=\frac{1}{3}(x+2)

X-4[x-2(x+6)]=5x+3<br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20-%204%20%20%20%5B%20%20x%20-%202%28x%20%2B%206%29%5D%20%20%3D%205x%2

The equivalence of the equation is 5x + 48 = 5x + 3.

Since 48 cannot be equal to 3, hence there are no solution.

<h3>What is the value of x?</h3>

Given the equation; x-4[ x - 2( x + 6) ] = 5x + 3

We remove the parentheses

x-4[ x - 2( x + 6) ] = 5x + 3

x-4[ x - 2x - 12 ] = 5x + 3

x - 4x + 8x + 48 = 5x + 3

5x + 48 = 5x + 3

We can go further and collect like terms

5x - 5x + 48 = 3

48 ≠ 3

Since 48 cannot be equal to 3, hence there are no solution.

According to the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education in 2008, 62% of graduate
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

    \frac{31}{50}

Step-by-step explanation:

percentage of graduates with loan = 62%

total sample = 50

Number of student in the sample with student loan

  = (percentage of graduates with loan) x  (total sample)

  = 62% x 50

  = 31

Proportion of student in the sample with student loan = \frac{31}{50}
