Answer: masses are 825 g and 1125 g
Step-by-step explanation: masses of hamsters are x and x+ 300 g.
Total mass is x+(x+300) = 1950
2x = 1650 g and x= 825
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
m = slope
x, y = coordinates
9514 1404 393
Answer:
- 6x +y = -6
- 6x -y = 8
- 5x +y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
To rewrite these equations from point-slope form to standard form, you can do the following:
- eliminate parentheses
- subtract the x-term
- subtract the constant on the left
- if the coefficient of x is negative, multiply by -1
Of course, any operation you do must be done <em>to both sides of the equation</em>.
__
1. y -6 = -6(x +2)
y -6 = -6x -12 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
6x +y -6 = -12 . . . . . add 6x
6x +y = -6 . . . . . . . . add 6
__
2. y +2 = 6(x -1)
y +2 = 6x -6
-6x +y +2 = -6
-6x +y = -8
6x -y = 8 . . . . . . . . multiply by -1
__
3. y -3 = -5(x -2)
y -3 = -5x +10
5x +y -3 = 10
5x +y = 13

<em>Additional comment</em>
The "standard form" of a linear equation is ax+by=c for integers a, b, c. The leading coefficient (generally, 'a') should be positive, and all coefficients should be mutually prime (have no common factors). That is why we multiply by -1 in problem 2.
-5 1/2 + 6 3/4+ (-4 1/4)= -3
