Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find what relationship x and y have. In this case, y is x multiplied by -3, plus 1.

(3,-8) The number 3 is x and -8 is y. Use the rule above to see if it's correct. Like so: -8 = 3 ( - 3) + 1

-8 = -9 + 1

-8 = -8

The rule/equation is correct.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

720 beans in total

Step-by-step explanation:

I would set this up with proportions, so-

1 180

4 x

Then cross multiply-

4 x 180 = 720

Divide-

720/1 = 720

720 is your answer

What is the x intercept of the line with this equation -2x+1/2y=18?<br><br> (_,0)

den301095 [7]

Answer:

x = - 9 (negative 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x intercept is where y = 0. When y = 0, the point is on the x axis.

So use the equation and replace y with 0.

-2x + 1/2y = 18

-2x + 1/2(0) = 18

-2x + 0 = 18

-2x = 18

x = - 9

Check you answer by putting your answer for x into the equation. See if it does make y = 0

-2x + 1/2y = 18

-2(- 9) + 1/2y = 18

18 + 1/2y = 18

1/2y = 0 so y must also equal 0

A first number plus twice a second number is 10. Twice the first number plus the second totals 26. Find the numbers.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$m,\ n-the\ numbers\\\\\text{The equations:}\\\\(1)\qquad n+2m=10\\(2)\qquad n+m=26\\\\\text{subtract both sides of the equations}\\\\(n+2m)-(n+m)=10-26\\\\n+2m-n-m=-16\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(n-n)+(2m-m)+-16\\\\\boxed{m=-16}\\\\\text{Put the value of m to (2)}:\\\\n+(-16)=26\\\\n-16=26\qquad\text{add 16 to both sides}\\\\\boxed{n=42}$
