Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The line is parallel so it has the same slope as the other line, -4.
Substitute the x and y variables with the given points and find the y-intercept.
(-8, 6)
y = -4x + b
6 = -4(8) + b
6 = -32 + b
6 + 32 = b
38 = b
So the equation is:
y = -4 + 38
Answer:
- large: 18.5 kg
- small: 15.75 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b and s represent the weights of the big and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivered weights can be summarized as ...
5b +6s = 187
3b +2s = 87
We can eliminate the "s" variable by subtracting the first equation from 3 times the second:
3(3b +2s) -(5b +6s) = 3(87) -(187)
4b = 74 . . . . . collect terms
b = 18.5 . . . . . divide by 4
Using this value in the second equation, we find ...
3(18.5) +2s = 87
2s = 31.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 55.5
s = 15.75 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The large box weighs 18.5 kg; the small box weighs 15.75 kg.
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
(5/6)x – 4 = 11
(5/6)x = 11 + 4
(5/6)x = 15
5x = 15×6 = 90
x = 90/5 = 18
