Answer:

  A.  3/13

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is ...

PLEASE HELP!! Dee bought 6 dolls and 2 toy trains for $55. At the same prices, Joy bought 4 dolls and 7 toy trains for $65. What
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The cost of 1 doll   =  $ 7.5

and The  Cost of 1 toy train =   $ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 doll  = $ x

The price of  1 toy train  = $ y

Now, according to the question:

6 x + 2 y  = $ 55

and  4 x   + 7 y = $ 65

Solving the given system of equation,

From (1), we get

x= \frac{55 - 2y}{6}

4 ({\frac{55 - 2y}{6}} )  + 7y = 65

or, solving for y , we get

110y - 4y + 21 y = 195

or, 17 y = 85

⇒ y= 85/17 = 5

This implies :  6 x + 2 (5)   =55

or, 6x = 55 - 10 = 45

or, x =  45/ 6 = 15/2

Hence, the cost of 1 doll  = x = $ 7.5

and the Cost of 1 toy train =  y = $ 5

Which of the expressions below can be factored using the difference of<br> squares method?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

<em>The second choice is correct. It can be factored as:</em>

9x^2-16y^2=(3x-4y)(3x+4y)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Difference of Squares Method for Factoring</u>

The expression:

a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

Is a widely used method to factor binomials that are expressed as the subtraction of two perfect squares.

The condition for a binomial to be factored by using this method is that both terms must have an exact square root and they must be subtracted.

The last two choices are not valid because they are not a subtraction but an addition.

The first choice is not valid because none of the terms is a perfect square.

The second choice is correct. It can be factored as:

9x^2-16y^2=(3x-4y)(3x+4y)

Zina [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it's A because if you're adding x from each number in the equation you would shift to the left causing the graph to become more positive but if you subtract x you would shift to the right causing the graph to become more negative.

In timara math class there are, 12 boys and 15 girls which of the following in the ratio to boys and girls in timaras math class
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

4:5

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 12 boys and 15 girls, the ratio of boys to girls will be 12:15.

However, this can be simplified by dividing each number by 3. This can be done since both 12 and 15 are divisible by 3.

12:15

= 4:5

So, the ratio of boys to girls in Timara's class is 4:5
