All you have to do is subtract 10 from 3, which equals -7, and there you have an integer
Answer:
About 20.8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
TO solve this just think of it as a ratio. The number of potatoes goes on top and the time goes on bottom.
48
__
10
That is what the first one would look like. In the second one we know the number of potatoes but we are trying to find the time (x).
100
___
x
Take these two ratios and set them equal to each other.
Next you cross multiply (take 48 times x and 100 times 10).
48x=1000 Now divide by 48 and you have your answer.
About 20.8 minutes
point slope equation formula: y - y1 = m (x - x1)
(-1,4) (-2,1)
answer:
1 -4 = 3 (-2+1)
a = 4, b = -21, c = -18
to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...
b<sup>2</sup> - 4ac = (-21)<sup>2</sup> - 4(4)(-18) = 729
sqrt(729) = 27
x = (21 +/- 27)/8
x = -3/4, x = 6
since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...
4x<sup>2</sup> - 21x - 18 = 0
(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0
x = -3/4, x = 6
