Answer:

8 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

So if she filled 64 jars with paint and each one holds one 1 pint of paint that means she has 64 pints of paint. If 1 pint equals .125 gallons, you would multiply 64 and .125 to get your answer of 8 gallons.

Write a linear equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4).

Phantasy [73]

linear equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4) is $y=\frac{1}{3}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4).

The equation can be written is point slope form.

The standard form of point slope equation is:

$y=mx+b$

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Finding slope m:

Slope can be found by using formula:

$slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x{2}-x_{1}} \\Where\,\, y_{2}=-4,y_{1}=-7,x{2}=3,x_{1}=-6\\slope =\frac{-4-(-7)}{3-(-6)}\\slope=\frac{-4+7}{3+6}\\slope=\frac{3}{9}\\slope=\frac{1}{3}$

So, slope is $\frac{1}{3}$

Now finding y-intercept b

Putting slope $\frac{1}{3}$ and point(-6,-7)

$y=mx+b\\x=-6,y=-7,m=\frac{1}{3} \\-7=\frac{1}{3}(-6)+b\\-7=-2+b\\b=-7+2\\b=-5$

So, value of b is -5

Putting values to find the equation:

$y=mx+b\\m=\frac{1}{3} and b=-5\\y=\frac{1}{3}x-5$

So, linear equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4) is $y=\frac{1}{3}x-5$

Sam sells necklaces for $10 each. Each necklace costs her $5 to make. She also has $5,000 in fixed costs per year for her jewelr

Marina CMI [18]

profit = revenue - expenses

Filling in the given values, where n is the number of necklaces Sam must sell ...

... 1000 = 10n - (5n +5000)

... 6000 = 5n . . . . . . collect terms, add 5000

... 1200 = n . . . . . . . divide by 5

The appropriate choice is

What is the value of x in the equation 2x+3y=36 wheh y=6

vova2212 [387]

X is 9
$2x + 3y = 36 \\ 2x + 3(6) = 36 \\ 2x + 18 = 36 \\ 2x = 36 - 18 = 18$
$x = \frac{18}{2} = 9$

good luck

I need help with questions 1,2, and 3. Would gratefully appreciate it (:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2):

First let's organise the data:

33 miles ... x mph ... 4h - downstream

33 miles ... y mph ... 7h - up the stream

x = 33/4 = 8.25 mph

y = 33/7 = 4.71 mph

(3)

P(x) = $x^2 - 2x - 3$

To find the amount of key rings sold when the profit is 5000$ we have to equate P(x) with 5, because in the problem the profit of the key rings is displayed in terms of thousands.

$x^2 - 2x - 3 = 5\\x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0\\x_1 = 4, x_2 = -2$

Since the number of keyrings sold has to be positive the only answer is 4 thousand key rings.
