Answer:

= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 points

(-2, 4) and (1,-5)

We can use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-5-4)/(1 - -2)

= -9/(1+2)

= -9/3

= -3

-3x+6y= -3 and -5+y=-23

Ira Lisetskai [31]

-5 +y = -23

add 5 to each side

y = -18

-3x+6y = -3

-3x + 6(-18) = -3

-3x -108 = -3

add108 to each side

-3x = 105

divide by -3

x = -35

x=-35

y= -18

A rectangular piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the original length of the piece of metal

y ----> the original width of the piece of metal

we know that

When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box

The dimensions of the box are

$L=(x-10)\ in\\W=(y-10)\ in\\H=5\ in$

The volume of the box is equal to

$V=(x-10)(y-10)5$

$V=930\ in^3$

$930=(x-10)(y-10)5$

simplify

$186=(x-10)(y-10)$ -----> equation A

Remember that

The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide

$x=y+25$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$186=(y+25-10)(y-10)$

solve for y

$186=(y+15)(y-10)\\186=y^2-10y+15y-150\\y^2+5y-336=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is y=16

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

$x=16+25=41$

therefore

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

A standard number cube is tossed. Find the following probability. P(greater than 4 or odd)

lorasvet [3.4K]

A standard cube has 6 possible outcomes. But since we want to find P(4+ or odd), the outcomes become more narrow.
So:
6 outcomes -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

But we want to find 4+
So:
4+ = 4, 5, 6

We also want to find all odd possibilities.
So:
odd = 1, 3, 5

As you can see, there is a 5 in both the 4+ and the odd numbers so 5 will only be counted once.
P(4+ or odd) = 1, 3, 4, 5, 6

So the probability of having an outcome that is P(4+ or odd) is:
5/6 or 0.8333 or 83.33%

Hope I helped!
