Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
Hey there!!
Steps to get into equation which is perpendicular:
- The slope of a perpendicular line is always negative reciprocal.
- Take the point and get that into point-slope form.
- y - y = m ( x - x )
- Convert this equation into slope-intercept form.
'm' is the slope.
We have the slope as 1/3
The perpendicular slope would be -3.
Point slope:
The point = (-2,2)
y - 2 = -3( x - (-2) )
y - 2 = -3(x+2)
y - 2 = -3x -6
Adding 2 on both sides:
y = -3x - 4
<em>Hence, the equation would be : </em>
<u><em>y = -3x - 4 </em></u>
Hope it helps!

Answer:
Probability of choosing a penny at random is 1/5 or 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
For many probabilities like this one, you have to add the total of materials or items together, even if they are different colors, shape, coin type, etc.
you have 12 pennies, 19 nickles, 14 dimes, and 15 quarters. This adds up to a total of 60 coins. Twelve of those are pennies.
You have twelve possible pennies to choose at random from a total of 60 in a bag.
So 12/60/ This simplifies to a probability of 1/5. If you divide 1 by 5 than it would be 0.2
The probability of choosing a penny from a bag of coins is 1/5, or 0.2.
Hope this helps
