Answer: 5/12 of the whole pizza

So we start we the whole pizza = 1
Then he ate 3/8:
1 - 3/8
And then 2/3 of what was left:
2/3(1 - 3/8)
2/3 - 1/4
8/12 - 3/12
5/12

Which function has the same y-intercept as the function y equals 2/3 x - 3

aleksley [76]

We have the function $y = \frac{2}{3} x -3$ and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.

First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.

$y = \frac{2}{3} (0) -3 = -3$

Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: $y = ax - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.

Also, any quadratic function of the type: $y=ax^{2} + bx - 3$ will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' and 'b' can take all the real values.

The value of y varies directly with x. If x=3, then y=21. What is the value of x when y=105?

Aneli [31]

21/7 = 3 so then, 105/7 = x which is 15

If 9a + 9b + 9c = 59a+9b+9c=5 ,<br><br>what is 72a + 72b + 72c72a+72b+72c?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

9a + 9b + 9c = 5

Multiply the equation by 8

8*(9a + 9b + 9c )= 5*8

Distribute

72a +72b +72 c = 40
