solve for y

2x−4y=10

-2x -2x subtract -2x from both sides

-4y = -2x +10

-4 -4 Divide both sides by -4 (coefficient on y)

y = -2/-4x + 10/-4

y = 1/2x - 5/2

the slope is the number on the x (coefficient)

and its 1/2

The slope is 1/2

You find the answer by dividing everything by 3

2x-4y=10
————-
2 2. 2
You’ll then get

x-2y= 5
Divide by 2y and you get 1/2 + -5/2

The slope is 1/2

The whole equation would be y=1/2 + -5/2

What is the answer to -7d-22=4d?

Juliette [100K]

First add 7d to both sides:
-22 = 11d
Now divide by 11 both sides
-2 = d

You can work on either side of the equation, I used the right side for the variables because it was easier to add to positive numbers than dealing with negative numbers on the left side:
-7d -4d = 22
-11d =22
d = -2

either way you get the same answer :)

A variable that is both (1) mutually exclusive, (2) exhaustive, (3) has a rank order AND (4) has equal distance between categori

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Interval variables

Step-by-step explanation:

An interval variable which is also refereed to as ordinal variable with the additional property that t has differences in magnitudes of the between two meaningful values

An example of an interval variable is ,when a temperature of 90 degrees and 100 degrees is the same difference as between 90 degrees and 80 degrees.

Interval variables are also said to be mutually exclusive , exhaustive and also having a rank or ranking order.

Answer:

Austin will have to buy 180 squares of carpeting.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the dimension of the room. We do that by multiplying the width times the length and then subtracting the cut out region in the top right. And, in order to know how big that region we cut out is, we have to do a little subtraction.

We know the room is 18' long on the left side and 12' long on the right side. We subtract 12 from 18 to get 6, and we know that the cut out region is 6' long. We do the same thing with the width, 25' wide at the bottom minus 10' wide at the top and we see that the cut out is 15' wide.

18 x 25 = 450

6 x 15 = 90

450 - 90 = 360. The area of the room is 360 $ft^{2}$

Each piece of carpet is 2' by 1'. So for every 2' long, the piece of carpet is 1' wide. Each carpet piece will cover 2 $ft^{2}$ . Divide 360 by 2 and you get 180.

Rhonda bought five shirts from a

densk [106]

Answer:

Option C $10+5x=24+3x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> the cost of each shirt

we know that

The cost of 5 shirts plus $10 (amount of money that would remain) must be equal to the cost of 3 shirts plus $24 (amount of money that would remain). Considering that the cost of the shirts is the same

The linear equation that represent this scenario is

$10+5x=24+3x$

Solve for x

$5x-3x=24-10$
