Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number written on the board be x.

1st student's number= x +23

2nd student's number= x -1

<em>1</em><em>st</em><em> </em><em>student</em><em>'</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>number</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>(</em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>a</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>2nd</em><em> </em><em>student</em><em>)</em><em>,</em>

x +23= 7(x -1)

x +23= 7x -7 <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>

7x -x= 23 +7 <em>(</em><em>bring</em><em> </em><em>constant</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em>)</em>

6x= 30 <em>(</em><em>simplify</em><em>)</em>

x= 30 ÷6 (÷6 on both sides)

x= 5

Thus, the number written on the board is 5.

What is 10^-10 in decimal form?
S_A_V [24]
10^-10 in decimal form is 0.000000001. Because the exponent is negative, you move the decimal point ( decimal point is at the end of 0 of the base number 10) 10 place to the right of 10 and u get the answer above. I discarded the 0 later in the answer because now that you've moved the decimal, that 0 have no value. But when forming it in decimal you have to use that 0 or you will get a wrong answer, instead of eight 0's, you will end up with nine 0's.

Which of these graphs is the solution set for the equation y = -3x - 2?
Gala2k [10]
A because y=-3x-2 has these transformations
The negative before the 3 means the slope is going down
The 3 means it goes 3 down every time it goes right one, the number before the x is the slope and slope is rise over run, 3 = 3/1 so it would normally mean it goes up 3 every time it goes right one but because the 3 is negative it means the line goes down
The negative two at the end moves the line down two, if it were plus two the line would go up two, the number in this spot is what determines the vertical translation

Put it all together and you get the line has goes down 3 every time it goes right one and crosses the y axis at -2
