Answer: 170

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up simultaneous equations such that:

E = R+400

E - 60 = 3R

Solving gives R = 170 and E =570

Answer:

Robert has $140

Step-by-step explanation:

400 - 60 = 420

420/3 = 140

An 8-oz bottle of ketchup costs $1.39. If the unit rate stays the same, how much should a 14-oz bottle cost? $0.79 $2.43 $2.78 $

Thepotemich [5.8K]

To find the unit rate you do

$1.39/8 oz.=.17

Then, you multiply the unit rate by the ounces

.17 * 14 oz. = $2.43

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -7) and (-8, 3)?

avanturin [10]

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

$y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line by using the slope formula, $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

$m = \frac{(3)-(-7)}{(-8)-(0)}\\m = \frac{3+7}{-8-0} \\m = \frac{10}{-8} \\m = -\frac{5}{4}$

So, the slope is $-\frac{5}{4}$ .

2) Now, use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute real values for the $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ in the formula.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $-\frac{5}{4}$ in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (0, -7), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the following answer:

$y-(-7) = -\frac{5}{4} (x-(0))\\y + 7 = -\frac{5}{4} x\\y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7$

Ely has a bag of 42 strawberries. She eats 16 strawberries. How many cherries does she have left. The next day she goes to the s

juin [17]

The number of cherries left is 26

Ely has 54 strawberries now

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Ely has a bag of 42 strawberries. She eats 16 strawberries

To find: Number of cherries left

From given,

Total number of strawberries = 42

Number of strawberries eaten = 16

Therefore,

Number of cherries left = Total number of strawberries - Number of strawberries eaten

Number of cherries left = 42 - 16 = 26

Thus, number of cherries left is 26

<em><u>The next day she goes to the store and buys 28 more cherries</u></em>

Number of cherries bought = 28

Therefore,

Total number of cherries she has now = number of cherries left + Number of cherries bought

Total number of cherries she has now = 26 + 28 = 54

Thus she has 54 strawberries now

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

It is equal to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^2}} = \frac{1}{x}\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{x^3}} = \frac{1}{x}$
