\frac{6 - 1}{ - 2 - a}  =  \frac{9 - 1}{ - 12 - a - 2}  \\  \frac{5}{ - 2 - a}  =  \frac{8}{ - 14 - a}  \\ 16 + 8a = 70 + 5a \\ 3a = 54 >  > a = 18

Write a expression that can be used to multiply 6x198
nydimaria [60]

In this problem, we are asked to give an expression that can be used to mentally multiply 6 and 198. In order not to go through the rigorous multiplication, we can estimate 198 to 200, that is 6 *200 equal to 1200. Since there is a 2*6 excess or 12 then we subtract: 1200 -12 equal to 1188.

Part E
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Part A: The y-coordinate when x=0 is 6. So, the y-intercept is 6

Part B: The equation for a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. For plant A, the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 6. So, the equation for the line is y = x + 6.

Part C:The y-coordinate when x=0 is 4. So, the y-intercept is 4.

Part D:The equation for a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. For plant B, the slope is 3/2 and the y-intercept is 4. So, the equation for the line is y= 3/2x+4.

Part E:The solution for the system of equations is (4,10). This solution is the same as the answer found graphically.
