Kater has 24 T-shirts.Kater has 8 fewer pairs of shoes than pairs of pants. If the number of T-shirts Kater has is double the nu

olga_2 [115]

T=number of shirt
p=pants
s=shoes

t=24

8 fewer shoes than pants means s=p-8

t shirts are double pants, means t=2p

so

t=24
s=p-8
t=2p

solve

we can see
24=t=2p
24=2p
divide both sides by 2
12=p

sub into other equation
s=p-8
s=12-8
s=4

Kendall is building a model sailboat the sail of the actual boat is 6 m tall and 4.5 m wide kendall is making the sail on the mo

solong [7]

The actual dimension of the sail are 6 m tall and 4.5 m wide.

The model is 20 cm tall. First we need to find the ratio which Kendall used in his model.

6 meters of actual length is represented in model by 20 cm.

6 meters of actual length is represented in the model by 0.2 m.

1 meter of actual length is represented in the model by 0.2/6 = 1/30 meters

So, the ratio of actual measure to model measure will be:

1 : 1/30

or

30 : 1

The actual width of the sail = 4.5 meters
The width of the sail in the model will be = 4.5 x 1/30 = 0.15 m = 15cm

So, the dimensions of the sail in the model will be 20 cm tall and 15 cm wide.

What can be concluded about the line represented in the table? Check all that apply. x y –6 –7 2 –3 8 0 The slope is 2. The slop

Stels [109]

The first thing we must do for this case is to find the equation of the line.
$y-yo = m (x-xo)
$
We have then:
$m = (y2 - y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (-3 - 0) / (2-8)

m = 1/2$
We choose an ordered pair:
$(xo, yo) = (8, 0)
$
Substituting values:
$y-0 = (1/2) (x-8)

y = (1/2) x - 4$

From here we conclude:

Intersection with y:
We evaluate x = 0 in the function:
$y = (1/2) (0) - 4

y = -4$

Slope of the line:
$m = 1/2
$

Point (-2, -5):
We evaluate the value of x = -2 and the value of y = -5
$-5 = (1/2) (- 2) - 4

-5 = -1 - 4

-5 = - 5$
The equation is satisfied.

Point (8, 0):
It is part of the table, therefore belongs to the line.

Answer:
The slope is 1/2
The y-intercept is -4.
The points (-2, -5) and (8, 0) are also on the line.

4x + 2x = < y

This is because the opposite sides (which is 4x and 2x) of a triangle add up to the exterior angle (<y).

We have to find X.

As you know:

$3x + 4x + 2x = 180$

because the angles of a triangle add up to 180.

When we add them:

$9x = 180$

$x = \frac{180}{9}$

The 9 is multiplying with the X. We want X only and not 9 with it. So, when we take 9 to the other side, it becomes divide. As a result, the answer to x is:-

$x = 20$
