Answer: They used 9 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of pencils in a package=24

Fraction of pencils used by students= $\dfrac{3}{8}$

Then, the number of pencils they used is given by :_

$\text{Fraction of pencils used by students }\times\text{Number of pencils in a package}$

$\dfrac{3}{8}\times24=9$

Hence, they used 9 pencils.

You are given that<br> 4a-2b = 10<br> (a)<br> Write down the value of<br> 2a - b

Simora [160]

Answer:

2a - b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

4a - 2b = 10

take out the highest common factor of the left side

2(2a - b) = 10

divide both sides by two

2a - b = 10/2

2a - b = 5

Is the graph of 6x2 - 2y = 7 a line? Explain.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

No, it is a parabola. (assuming that you meant to write 6x² - 2y = 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a square in the x or y, this gives it away that it cannot be a straight line.

The linear equation of the initial (red ) incline would be y = __x +__

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$y=\underline {1.5}x+\underline 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph,

The initial red incline is a straight line passing through the origin.

So, a straight line passing through the origin is of the form:

$y=mx+0$

Where, 'm' is the slope.

Now, the slope of a given as the change in y value to change in x value.

Consider the two end points of the red line (0, 0) and (4, 6).

The slope with two points $(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)$ on the line is given as:

$m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}$

Plug in $x_1=0,y_1=0,x_2=4,y_2=6$ . Therefore, slope is:

$m=\frac{6-0}{4-0}\\m=\frac{6}{4}=1.5$

Hence, the equation of the initial red incline is:

$y=\underline {1.5}x+\underline 0$
