Given:

Mark started reading on Saturday , and he is reading 40 pages per day.

Allen didn't start until Sunday , but he is still reading 45 pages a day.

To find:

How many days will it take Allen to catch up to Mark, and how many pages will they each have read?

Solution:

Let x represent the number of days Allen has been reading. Then the number of days Mark has been reading is (x+1).

Mark is reading 40 pages per day. So, he will read 40(x+1) pages.

Allen is reading 45 pages a day. So, he will read 45x pages.

Allen catch up to Mark when they read equal number of pages.

40(x+1)=45x

40x+40=45x

40=45x-40x

40=5x

Divide both sides by 5.

\dfrac{40}{5}=\dfrac{5x}{5}

8=x

In 8 days Allen will catch up to Mark.

45x=45(8)

45x=360

Therefore, they each have read 360 pages.

Write in slope intercept form y-6=2(x+3)
tester [92]

Answer:

y = 2x + 12 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, distribute 2 to all terms within the parenthesis.

y - 6 = 2(x + 3)

y - 6 = 2x + 6

Next, isolate the variable y. Add 6 to both sides.

y - 6 (+6) = 2x + 6 (+6)

y = 2x + 6 + 6

y = 2x + 12

y = 2x + 12 is your answer.

Can someone please help mee i need the exact answer(30 points will give brainliest!!!)
Bas_tet [7]

The domain of the given graph is [−3, ∞) and the range is (−∞, 4].

We need to find the domain and range of the given graph.

<h3>What are the domain and range of the function?</h3>

The range of values that we are permitted to enter into our function is known as the domain of a function. The x values for a function like f make up this set (x). A function's range is the collection of values that it can take.

We can observe that the graph extends horizontally from −3 to the right without a bound, so the domain is [−3, ∞). The vertical extent of the graph is all range values 4 and below, so the range is (−∞, 4].

Therefore, the domain of the given graph is [−3, ∞) and the range is (−∞, 4].
