Answer:

⅓x + y = 5⅓

⅓x + y = 5.3333333

⅓x + y = 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for slope using rise/run

Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

(6) - (5) / (-2) - (1)

1 / -3

Slope: -⅓

y = -⅓x + b

solve for b using one of the points

I'll be using (1,5)

Substitute the point into the equation

5 = -⅓(1) + b

5 = -⅓ + b (add ⅓ to both sides)

+⅓ +⅓

5⅓ = b

5⅓ can also be written as 16/3 or 5.333333

The equation is now:

y = -⅓x + 5⅓

Convert to standard form by adding ⅓x to both sides

y = -⅓x + 5⅓

+⅓x +⅓x

Solution: ⅓x + y = 5⅓

Point B lies between points A and C on AC. Let x

Alex_Xolod [135]

Set up the following equation for this segment:

x is segment AB's length, and 3x is segment BC's length. 20 is segment AC's length.

Combine like terms:

Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself:

x will equal 5.

Plug this value into the values for both segments:

Segment AB:

Segment AB is 5 inches long.

Segment BC:

Segment BC is 15 inches long.

Maggie needs to spend at least six hours each week practicing the piano. She has already practiced three and one fourth hours th

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

three and one fourth + 2x ≥ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the minimum number of hours he needs to practice on each of the two days

we know that

needs to spend at least seven hours each week practicing the drums

$3\frac{1}{4}+2x\geq 6\ hours$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$3\frac{1}{4}\ hours=\frac{3*4+1}{4}=\frac{13}{4}\ hours$

substitute

$\frac{13}{4}+2x\geq 6\ hours$

Subtract 13/4 both sides

$2x\geq 6-\frac{13}{4}$

$2x\geq \frac{11}{4}$

Divide by 2 both sides

$x\geq \frac{11}{8}$

therefore

The minimum number of hours he needs to practice on each of the two days is $\frac{11}{8}\ hours$

Three times the sum of a number and seven is 23 less than five times the number find the number wrong your answer to the nearest

mote1985 [20]

so you have your two equations 3x+7=5x-23 and solve for x which is your "number" leaving the answer to be <u>x=15</u>
