Answer:
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
It cannot be between 3 and 4 because 2/3 is less than 1. You cannot end up with a larger number than 3 in this case. Similarly, it cannot be less than 2/3 because you are multiplying it by 3, which is larger than your first number.
Therefore, it has to be between 3 and 2/3 because you are taking two thirds of 3, which is 2.
Answer:
Intercept = - 3 ; slope = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points :
(3, 51) ; (5, 87)
x1 =3, y1 = 51, x2 = 5 ; y2 = 87
Slope intercept relation:
y = mx + c
m = slope ; c = intercept ; x and y are x, y vlayes respectively
Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope (m) = (87 - 51) / (5 - 3)
Slope = 36 / 2
Slope (m) = 18
The intercept c :
m = 18 ; x = 5 ; y = 87
Substitute values into the slope intercept formula :
87 = 18(5) + c
87 = 90 + c
c = 87 - 90
c = - 3
Intercept = - 3
Answer:
EF=6
Step-by-step explanation:
E is the midpoint, so DE = EF
DE = 15-3x
EF = x+ 3
Since DE = EF,
15 - 3x = x + 3
-4x = -12
x = 3
If x = 3,
DE = 15 - 3*3, 15 - 9 = 6
EF = x+ 3, so EF = 3 + 3 = 6
-2x - 4 > 10
Multiply both sides by -1 and reverse the inequality symbol.
2x + 4 < -10
Now subtract both sides by 4.
2x + 4 - 4 < -10 - 4
2x < -14
Divide both sides by 2.
2x/2 < -14/2
x < -7
