Two jugs are filled with water. If you remove 1 liter of water from the first jug, then the two jugs contain the same amount of

water. If you remove 2 liters from the second, then the second jug would contain half as much as the first. How many liters of water are in the largest jug?

Let x be the first jug, y the second jug.

From first statement, subtracting 1 from x, makes them equal:
x - 1 = y

From second statement, subtracting 2 from y, makes it half of x:
x/2 = y-2

Solve system with substitution:
x/2 = (x-1) -2
x/2 = x - 3
x- x/2 = 3
x/2 = 3
x = 6

y = x-1 = 6-1 = 5

Therefore the largest jug contains 6 liters.

Select the slope-intercept form of an equation for a line with y-intercept -2 and slope 6.<br>​
ozzi

Answer:

y = 6x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

They give us the slope (m) which is 6 and the y-intercept (b) which is -2. PLug it into the equation

y = mx + b

y = 6x - 2

I need help solving 12 1/4 - 5 2/3<br> I’m having trouble
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

6 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to get a common denominator, which is 12

12 1/4 - 5 2/3

12 1/4*3/3 - 5 2/3*4/4

12 3/12 - 5 8/12

We will need to borrow from the 12 since 3/12 is less than 8/12.  Write the 1 we borrow as 12/12

11 + 12/12 + 3/12 - 5 8/12

11 15/12 - 5 8/12

6 7/12

In 2000, people charged 1,243 billion on the four most used types of credit cards. In 2005, people charged 1,838 billion on thes
baherus [9]
Alright, so the rate of change is the same thing as the slope, so we can find this by using the slope formula (which I took a picture of because it's super messy to type it out like this)

Now that we know the slope formula, we need to find the x values and the y values to plug into the equation. We'll say that the years are our x values and the money spent (in billions) are our y values. Now that we've set up an axis, we can create points! Our points would be (2000, 1243) and (2005, 1838)

Now we can plug our points into our equations! On the top of our equation, we'll put (1838-1243), and on the bottom we'll put (2005-2000). When we simplify that, we end up with 595/5, which simplifies to 119. Now we know that the rate of change for the credit cards was 119 billion!
