Answer: −8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 8x from both sides of the equation.

−3y=24−8x

Divide each term by −3 and simplify.

y=8x/3−8

Reorder terms.

y=8/3x−8

Y-INTERCEPT = -8

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Create this equation into a y=mx+b form

8x-3y=24

-8x -8x -8 to solve for -3y

-3y=-8x+24

---- --- --- divide by -3 to leave y by itself

-3 -3 -3

y= 8

--- x-8

y intercept is -8

Answer:

Each guest would get 6 party favors.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we find out how many party favors Amy bought. 3 bags of 12 party favors equals 36 party favors (3x12)

So, divide 36 party favors by 6 guests, and you get the final answer of 6 party favors per guest.

Hope this helps!!

For some integer n, the first, the third and the fifth terms of an arithmetic sequence are respectively 3n, 5n – 6, and 11n + 8.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

a₄=8n+1= -39.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if a₁=3n; a₃=5n-6 and a₅=11n+8, then it is possible to calculate the difference according to 0.5(a₅-a₃)=0.5(a₃-a₁). Then

2) 0.5(11n+8-5n+6)=0.5(5n-6-3n); ⇔ 6n+14=2n-6; ⇔ n= -5.

3) if n=-5, then the 4th term is:

$a_4=\frac{a_5+a_3}{2}; \ = > \ a_4=\frac{11n+8+5n-6}{2}=8n+1;$

or a₄=-39.
