Answer:

1) The linear equation in point and slope form is y - 67 = -4 × (x - 14)

2) The variables are;

a) The number of candies available = y

b) The number of days Jennifer eats the candies =

c) The slope, m = -4

3) Jennifer received 123 pieces of candies on Halloween

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of candies Jennifer eats everyday = 4 pieces

The number of days for which Jennifer eats the daily 4 candies = 14

The number of candies left at the end of the 14th day = 67 candies

1) We note that the rate of decrease in the number of candies = 4 candies/day

Therefore, the slope of the linear equation is m = -4

The y-intercept = The initial amount of candies Jennifer has = c = 67 + 14× 4 = 123 candies

The linear equation in point and slope form is given as follows;

y - 67 = -4 × (x - 14)

2) The variables are;

a) The y-value represents the number of candies available on a specific day

b) The x value represents the number of days Jennifer eats the candies'

c) The slope = The rate of decrease in the number of candies per day = -4

3) The number of candies Jennifer receives on Halloween is given by the y-intercept of the straight line equation as follows;

y - 67 = -4 × (x - 14)

y - 67 = -4·x + 56

y = -4·x + 56 + 67 = -4·x + 123

y = -4·x + 123

Comparing the above equation, with the general form of the straight line equation, y = m·x + c, where, the constant term, c = The y-intercept, we have;

The y-intercept of the equation y = -4·x + 123 = 123 = The initial amount of candies Jennifer received on Halloween.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

9.193259%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to obtain the percentage of military members in the reserves who are Black, we will have to multiply the percentage of Black military members in the reserve by the percentage of military members in the reserve. This is calculated as follows:

Military members in the reserves who are Black (%) = 77.1771% × 11.9119%

= 9.193259%

Therefore, he percentage of military members in the reserves who are Black is 9.193259% .

Example

For example, let assume the total number of active members in the military is 100.

To obtain the number of military members who are in the reserves, we multiply 77.1771% by 100. This gives us 78 approximately.

To obtain the number of military members in the reserves who are Black, we multiply 11.9119% by 78 we got above who are active military members in the reserves. This gives us 9 members approximately.

I wish you the best.

which expressions are equivalent to the first one? I don't understand how to determine that so please explain. Thanks!

Answer:

(a) -(x+7)/y

(b) (x+7)/-y

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can show expressions are equivalent. Perhaps the easiest and best is to put them in the same form. For an expression such as this, I prefer the form of answer (a), where the minus sign is factored out and the numerator and denominator have positive coefficients.

The given expression with -1 factored out is ...

$\dfrac{-x-7}{y}=\dfrac{1(x+7)}{y}=\boxed{-\dfrac{x+7}{y}} \quad\text{matches A}$

Likewise, the expression of (b) with the minus sign factored out is ...

$\dfrac{x+7}{-y}=\boxed{-\dfrac{x+7}{y}}$

On the other hand, simplifying expression (c) gives something different.

$\dfrac{-x-7}{-y}=\dfrac{-(x+7)}{-(y)}=\dfrac{x+7}{y} \qquad\text{opposite the given expression}$

Another way you can write the expression is term-by-term with the terms in alpha-numeric sequence (so they're more easily compared).

Given: (-x-7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

(a) -(x+7)/y = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

(b) (x+7)/(-y) = (-x/y) +(-7/y)

Of course, you need to know the use of the distributive property and the rules of signs.

a(b+c) = ab +ac

-a/b = a/(-b) = -(a/b)

-a/(-b) = a/b

<u>Summary</u>: The given expression matches (a) and (b).

<em>Additional comments</em>

Sometimes, when I'm really stuck trying to see if two expressions are equal, I subtract one from the other. If the difference is zero, then I know they are the same. Looking at (b), we could compute ...

$\left(\dfrac{-x-7}{y}\right)-\left(\dfrac{x+7}{-y}\right)=\dfrac{-y(-x-7)-y(x+7)}{-y^2}\\\\=\dfrac{xy+7y-xy-7y}{-y^2}=\dfrac{0}{-y^2}=0$

Yet another way to check is to substitute numbers for the variables. It is a good idea to use (at least) one more set of numbers than there are variables, just to make sure you didn't accidentally find a solution where the expressions happen to be equal. We can use (x, y) = (1, 2), (2, 3), and (3, 5) for example.

The given expression evaluates to (-1-7)/2 = -4, (-2-7)/3 = -3, and (-3-7)/5 = -2.

(a) evaluates to -(1+7)/2 = -4, -(2+7)/3 = -3, -(3+7)/5 = -2, same as given

(b) evaluates to (1+7)/-2 = -4, (2+7)/-3 = -3, (3+7)/-5 = -2, same as given
