Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

For Ray

He has 16 pages already

Now he is writing 2 pages per day

let x be the number of days

and y be the total number of pages writen

the linear function for the situation is given as

y=2x+16-------------1

For Claudia

He has 2 pages already

Now he is writing 4 pages per day

let x be the number of days

and y be the total number of pages writen

the linear function for the situation is given as

y=4x+2-------------2

Step two:

let us equate equation 1 and 2 to find x

2x+16=4x+2

collect like terms

2x-4x=2-16

-2x=-12

divide both sides by -2

x=12/2

x=6

Therefore it will take 6 days for them to have the same number of pages

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope<br> -1/4<br> and y-intercept 4.
Setler [38]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is written in the slope-intercept form, which is: y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. In our equation, y = − 7 x + 4 , we see that the y-intercept of the line is 4.

A=pi(r)^2
45=pi(r)^2   divide by pi (3.14)
14.33=r^2   square root both sides
3.79=r         round

How do you solve 0.8=6-2.5x
photoshop1234 [79]
X=2.08

To solve you need to first get x by itself. To do that you want to subtract 6 from both sides (get 6 away from x and put on other side) which will leave you with -5.2=-2.5x next isolate x by dividing -2.5 on both sides to then get 2.08=x
