Answer:

2y - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

well 15 LESS than TWICE a number. okay so let’s start off by making a variable for the unknown number.... y. the variable is y. so now we have to think, TWICE that number, but we don’t know the number.

Now that we have the variable and we know it has to be doubled, let’s start off making the first half... we can out that into 2y. which is 2 multiplied by the unknown number.

now that we have the first half done, we have to take the 15 less. Less can mean or subtract in this kind of situation. but for this certain scenario, it will be subtraction. so the equation would be 2y - 15.

An equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment with end points (3,0) and (-3,0) is

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

$x = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1,y_1) = (3,0)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (-3,0)$

Required

The equation of the perpendicular bisector.

First, calculate the midpoint of the given endpoints

$(x,y) = 0.5(x_1 + x_2, y_1 + y_2)$

$(x,y) = 0.5(3-3, 0+ 0)$

$(x,y) = 0.5(0, 0)$

Open bracket

$(x,y) = (0.5*0, 0.5*0)$

$(x,y) = (0, 0)$

Next, determine the slope of the given endpoints.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{0 - 0}{-3- 3}$

$m = \frac{0}{-6}$

$m = 0$

Next, calculate the slope of the perpendicular bisector.

When two lines are perpendicular, the relationship between them is:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}$

In this case:

$m = m_1 = 0$

So:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{0}$

$m_2 = unde\ fined$

Since the slope is $unde\ fined$ , the equation is:

$x = a$

Where:

$(x,y) = (a,b)$

Recall that:

$(x,y) = (0, 0)$

So:

$a = 0$

Hence, the equation is:

$x = 0$

Priya bought these items at the grocery store. Find each unit price. A. 12 eggs for $3. How much is the cost per egg? B. 3 pound

Ratling [72]

Answer: A. Cost per egg = $4 .

B. Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D. Cost per apple = $0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: cost per item = (total cost) ÷ (number of items)

A. 12 eggs for $3.

Cost per egg = $ (12÷3) = $4

So, Cost per egg = $4 .

B. 3 pounds of peanuts for $7.50

Cost per pound of peanuts = $ (7.50 ÷ 3)= $ 2.5

So, Cost per pound = $ 2.5

C. 4 rolls of toilet paper for $2.

Cost per roll = $ (2 ÷4 ) = $ 0.5

So, Cost per roll = $ 0.5

D. 10 apples for $3.50.

Cost per apple = $ (3.50 ÷ 10)= $ 0.35

So, Cost per apple = $0.35
