Answer:

3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of amendments to the Constitution of the United States is established and specified in Article V of said regulation. This process can be initiated by Congress or by the state legislatures, and once the amendment is approved by them, the legislatures of at least 3 out of 4 states (75% of the total) must ratify the amendment so that it becomes operative and is inserted into the constitutional text.

You are planning to plant a triangular garden in your backyard, as shown. You plan to put up a fence around the garden to keep o

Drupady [299]

Answer:

24 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The lenght of fencing needed is the sum of all sides the triangular garden represented on the coordinate grid.

The lenght of the triangular garden = 16 - 10 = 6 m

Lenght of the height = 8 - 0 = 8 m

Lenght of the hypotenuse can be calculated using coordinates of the two vertices of the ∆ that forms the hypotenuse lenght and also using the distance formula.

Coordinates of the two vertices = (10, 0) and (16, 8).

$distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

Let,

$(10, 0) = (x_1, y_1)$

$(16, 8) = (x_2, y_2)$

$d = \sqrt{(16 - 10)^2 + (8 - 0)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (8)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100}$

$d = 10$

Length of fencing = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 m

Brienne and 3 friends bought tickets to the movies. They spent a total of $27.00 on the tickets. Which equation represents this

Sindrei [870]

Hello!

The equation that represents this situation is A. 3t = 27.

Explanation:

This is because an equation is a "mathematical sentence" and this equation says that if you multiply the costs of the three friends' tickets, the total cost would be $27.

When a fraction of 12 is taken away from 17, what remain exceed one-third of seventeen by six.

vova2212 [387]

X - the fraction

$17- 12x=\frac{1}{3} \times 17+6 \\
17-12x=\frac{17}{3}+6 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}+6-17 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}-11 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}-\frac{33}{3} \\
-12x=-\frac{16}{3} \\
x=-\frac{16}{3} \times (-\frac{1}{12}) \\
x=\frac{16}{36} \\
x=\frac{4}{9}$

The fraction is 4/9.

(08.02)a pair of equations is shown below. 3x − y = 9 y = −2x + 11 if the two equations are graphed, at what point do the lines

mixas84 [53]

3x - y = 9
y = -2x + 11

3x - (-2x + 11) = 9
3x + 2x - 11 = 9
3x + 2x = 9 + 11
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4

y = -2x + 11
y = -2(4) + 11
y = -8 + 11
y = 3

solution (where the lines intersect) is (4,3)
