Answer: 150 people voted in the election.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Total number of votes.

Mason got \dfrac{x}{3} votes.

Isabella got 40 votes, Amelia got 60 votes.

Then,

Combined votes = 40+60+\dfrac{x}{3}=x

100=x-\dfrac{x}{3}\\\\100=\dfrac23x\\\\ x=100\times\dfrac32\\\\ x=50\times3\\\\ x=150

Hence, 150 people voted in the election.

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
belka [17]

Answer:

y = 3/5 x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

two points on the graph

(-5,0) (0,3)

the y intercept is 3  (this is where it crosses the y axis)

the slope is

change in y     0 to 3            up 3

------------------  = -------------- =  -------        =   3/5

change in x      -5 to 0             right 5


we can tell the slope is positive because it goes from bottom left to top right

a negative slope goes from top left to bottom right

slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

y = 3/5 x+3

Y−3=5(x−2) FIND THE SLOPE PF THE LINE ASAP PLS
adelina 88 [10]

Slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: The equation of the line is y - 3 = 5(x - 2). Find the slope.

y - 3 = 5x - 10

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

y = 5x - 10 + 3

 y = 5x - 7

m = 5

Compute the exact value of the function for the given x-value without using a calculator.F(x)=6^x for x = 3
Cloud [144]
First: Replace “x” with its known value. Since x = 3, plug it into the formula.
• F(3) = 6^3
Second: Solve the formula.
• 6^3 = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216
• F(3) = 216
