Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2y+3x=3

Convert to y=mx+b form...

y=mx+<u>b</u>

y(output)

x(input)

x(slope/growth)

<u>b(y int/starting point)</u>

<u>Steps for converting to y=mx+b form</u>:

-subtract 3x from both sides of equal sign

-divide by 2 on both sides

y = -1.5+<u>1.5</u>

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2y+3x=3

This represents a linear equation and the format for a linear equation is

y = mx+b

m = slope

b= y-intercept

we have to subtract 3x from both sides to make this the y=mx+b form

2y=-3x+3

and divide both sides by 2

y = (-3x+3)/2

3/2 or 1.5 is the y-intercept

the constant of a linear equation (or 3) is the y-intercept, if there is no constant then the y-intercept is 0

What is 18 divided by 2/3?

pishuonlain [190]

Division is basically
x divided by y=x/y so
18 divided by 2/3= $\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} }$
we want the bottom number to be =1 so we multiply 2/3 by 3/2 to make it 1 (or 6/6=1), but we have to multiply the top number by 3/2 also so that we don't change the fraction and make our work useless so

$\frac{18}{ \frac{2}{3} } times \frac{ \frac{3}{2} }{ \frac{3}{2} } = \frac{ \frac{54}{2} }{ \frac{6}{6} }= \frac{27}{1}=27$

the answe ris 27

Answer:

0.0286 or 2.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people that have werewolfism is 21,000.

Of those 21,000, 600 also have vampirism, while the remaining 20,400 do not. Therefore, the probability that someone has vampirism, given that they have werewolfism is:

$P(V|W)=\frac{N_{V\cap W}}{N_W}\\P(V|W)=\frac{600}{21,000} \\P(V|W)=0.0286=2.86\%$
