If the equation below represents the total cost of 3 boxes of cereal and 2 loaves of bread is $15," then x represents

Answer:

C. The cost of a box of cereal

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given the number of 3 boxes of cereal, 2 loaves of bread, and that the total cost is $15. We can see these numbers in the equation, and putting it into context, we see that the 15 is on the right side of the equation, which indicates cash. Therefore, the 3 and 2 are accounted for, but their prices are unknown. X is a placeholder for the unidentified cost of a box of cereal, and we know that it's the boxes of cereal and not the loaves of bread because there are 3 and not 2.

State whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular,or neither.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.
  • Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1

We also know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the lines

1)

  • y = 6х - 3

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 6х - 3:

m₁=6  

  • y = - 1/6x + 7

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = - 1/6x + 7:

m₂=-1/6

As

m₁ × m₂ = -1

6 ×  - 1/6 = -1

-1 = -1

Thus, the lines y = 6х - 3 and y = - 1/6x + 7 are perpendicular.

2)

  • y = 3x + 2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 3x + 2:

m₁=3  

  • 2y = 6x - 6

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=3x-3

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=3x-3:

m₂=3

As the slopes of y = 3x + 2 and 2y = 6x - 6 are equal.

i.e. m₁ = m₂ → 3 = 3

Thus, the lines y = 3x + 2 and 2y = 6x - 6 are paralle.

3)

  • 8x - 2y = 3

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = 4x - 3/2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 4x - 3/2:

m₁=4  

  • x + 4y = - 1

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=-1/4x-1/4

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=-1/4x-1/4:

m₂=-1/4

As

m₁ × m₂ = -1

4 ×  - 1/4 = -1

-1 = -1

Thus, the lines 8x - 2y = 3 and x + 4y = - 1 are perpendicular.

4)

  • 3x+2y = 5

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = -3/2x + 5/2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = -3/2x + 5/2:

m₁=-3/2  

  • 3y + 2x = - 3

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = -2/3x - 1

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = -2/3x - 1:

m₂=-2/3

As m₁ and m₂ are neither equal nor their product is -1, hence the lines neither perpendicular nor parallel.

5)

  • y - 5 = 6x

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=6x+5

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=6x+5:

m₁=6  

  • y - 6x = - 1

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=6x-1

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=6x-1:

m₂=6

As the slopes of y - 5 = 6x and y - 6x = -1 are equal.

i.e. m₁ = m₂ → 6 = 6

Thus, the lines y - 5 = 6x and y - 6x = -1 are paralle.

6)

  • y = 3х + 9

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 3х + 9:

m₁=3  

  • y = -1/3x - 4

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y =  1/3x - 4:

m₂=1/3

As m₁ and m₂ are neither equal nor their product is -1, hence the lines neither perpendicular nor parallel.

I need help finding perimeter of a rectangle with the side missing
3241004551 [841]
The perimeter of a rectangle is  (2 lengths) plus (2 widths).

If one side is missing, then it sounds like you still have enough information
to know what the length and the width are.  Just take each number and use
the first line up there /\ to calculate the perimeter with them.

Form a sequence that has two arithmetic means between 13 and 88.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Correct choice is A

Step-by-step explanation:

For the numbers 13 and 88, find the difference 88-13:

since 88-13=75 and \dfrac{75}{3}=25 (two arithmetic means tells you there will be three intervals), two arithmetic means will be

  • 13+25=38;
  • 38+25=63.

The only correct sequence is 13, 38, 63, 88.

Determine if the sequence is arithmetic write yes or no 5,9,14,20
makkiz [27]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is one where the same number is being added to the number before it. For example, 2, 4, 6, 8..., where 2 is being added to each number.

In this case, however, the number being added is not consistent with this pattern. Between 5 and 9, the difference is 4 and between 9 and 14, the difference is 5, and so forth. This pattern does not follow the rules of an arithemtic sequence.
