Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the y-intercept, plug in x=0 in the original equation. (You want to find what y is when x=0)
2x + 3y = -12
2(0) + 3y = -12 (Plug in x=0)
3y = -12 (2*0=0, so you can ignore that part)
y = -4 (Divide both sides by 3)
This narrows down our choices to either A or B.
To find the x-intercept, plug in y=0 into the original equation. (You want to find what x is when y=0)
2x + 3y = -12
2x + 3(0) = -12 (Plug in y=0)
2x = -12 (3*0=0, so you can ignore that part)
x = -6 (Divide both sides by 2)
If our x intercept is -6 and our y intercept is -4, that makes our answer B.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is simply a(1), and is 5.
The fourth term is a(4), and is 5 + (1/6)(4-1), or 5 3/6 or 5 1/2.
The tenth term is a(10), and is 5 + (1/6)(10 - 1), or 5 + 3/2, or 6 1/2.
Answer:
8 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The balance is in equilibrium, so the weights of the two sides are equal.
Let the weight of a square be s.
Left side: 2s + 4
Right side: s + 3(4) = s + 12
The weights are equal, so we set the two expressions equal.
2s + 4 = s + 12
s = 8
Answer: The weight of a square is 8 grams.
Question 2: The first step was the combine the like terms; in this example he is subtracting the 3x on both sides of the =.
Answer:
(b) (x -10)(x +10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The factorization of the difference of squares is a special form:
a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)
<h3>Application</h3>
Your expression is recognizable as the difference of squares:
x² -100 = x -10²
Using the above form, the factorization is ...
= (x -10)(x +10) . . . . . . . . matches the second choice
