Answer:
Well to find the x-intercept, substitute in 0 for y and solve for x. To find the Y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y
X-intercept: (15,0)
Y-intercept: (0,- 5) Hope this helps :)

Answer:
x cubed minus y cubed is equal to 504
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to know what the values of x and y are. We can do this pretty easily, by just solving both equations for x, and equating them to each other:
With the first:
x + y = 10
x = 10 - y
And with the other
x - y = 6
x = 6 + y
Now that we have two definitions of x, we can say that the expressions are equal, and solve for y:
10 - y = 6 + y
10 - 6 = y + y
4 = 2y
y = 2
And now that we know what y is, we can find x:
x = 10 - y
x = 10 - 2
x = 8
So x is equal to eight. We can check our answer by plugging x into the other equation and seeing if we get the same value for y:
x - y = 6
8 - y = 6
-y = 6 - 8
-y = -2
y = 2
So we know we solved that correctly.
Now if we cube each number, eight cubed is equal to 512, and 2 cubed is equal to 8. If we subtract the latter from the former we get 504.
so x cubed minus y cubed is equal to 504
Answer:
$2.72
Step-by-step explanation:
The increase from last week is the fraction ...
(new price)/(old price) -1 = (1.82/1.65) -1 = 17/165
so the amount of increase Sally will pay this week is ...
17/165×$26.40 = $2.72
_____
<em>Comment on the working</em>
We could work this several ways. Perhaps most straightforward would be to determine how many gallons Sally bought last week, and multiply that by the change in price. Or, the number of gallons could be multiplied by the new price per gallon and the difference from the old purchase amount found.
If you look at the numbers, you see that we have effectively done it the first way. The change in price is $0.17 per gallon, and the number of gallons Sally bought is $26.40/$1.65.
Answer:
106 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
7th grade = 159 students
Boys to girls ratio:
2:1
Find two thirds of 159:
2/3*159 = 106 boys
159-106= 53 girls
Check:
53*2 = 106
use reapeted addition and keep adding +$0.50 until you get $4.00 for it to be equal with Jason's total which was $4.00
so it will be at 3 miles.
or just multiply micheals total by 3.:) hope it helped!!
