They were without electricity for 47 minutes.....determine the percent of an hr....so 1 hr = 60 minutes.....so they were out 47 out of 60 minutes...
47/60 = 0.783 = 78.3%.....so just type in 78.3 because ur not supposed to include the percent sign
With the given information, we can create several equations:
120 = 12x + 2y
150 = 10x + 10y
With x being the number of rose bushes, and y being the number of gardenias.
To find the values of the variables, we can use two methods: Substitution or Elimination
For this case, let us use elimination. To begin, let's be clear that we are going to be adding these equations together. Therefore, in order to get the value of one variable, we must cancel one of them out - it could be x or y, it doesn't matter which one you decide to cancel out. Let's cancel the x out:
We first need to multiply the equations by numbers that would cause the x's to cancel out - and this can be done as follows:
-10(120 = 12x + 2y)
12(150 = 10x + 10y) => Notice how one of these is negative
Multiply out:
-1200 = -120x - 20y
+ 1800 = 120x + 120y => Add these two equations together
---------------------------------
600 = 100y
Now we can solve for y:
y = 6
With this value of y known, we can then pick an equation from the beginning of the question, and plug y in to solve for x:
120 = 12x + 2y => 120 = 12x + 2(6)
Now we can solve for x:
120 = 12x + 12 => 108 = 12x
x = 9
So now we know that x = 9, and y = 6.
With rose bushes being x, we now know that the cost of 1 rose bush is $9.
With gardenias being y, we now know that the cost of 1 gardenia is $6.
Answer:
B. y = 2 / 3 x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the graph, you can see that the y-intercept is 1, so you can eliminate choices A and D. You are now left between choices B and C. To figure out the slope, you need to do rise and run. From the y-intercept, you rise up 2, and you run right 3. This means that the slope is 2/3.
Answer:
x ≥4
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(8-3x) ≥6x-8
Distribute
-32+12x ≥6x-8
Subtract 6x from each side
-32+12x-6x ≥6x-6x-8
-32+6x ≥-8
Add 32 from each side
-32+32 +6x ≥-8+32
6x ≥ 24
Divide each side by 6
6x/6 ≥24/6
x ≥4
