Answer:

1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total number of marbles held by Layala and Zahra = 2700

Ratio = 2 : 7

Layala's share of marbles : (2 / (2+7)) * 2700

= 2/9 * 2700

= 600

Zahra's share of marble : (7 / (2+ 7)) * 2700

= 7 / 9 * 2700

= 2100

Hence, Zahra must have given away (2100 - x) = 600

2100 - 600

= 1500 marbles, so that both Zahra and Layala have the same number of marbles

Find the equation of the line passing through points (-4,2) and (1,-6)
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from the 1st point to the first, we see that x (the 'run') increases by 5 from -4 to 1, and y (the 'rise') decreases by 8.  Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise / run = -8/5

Now we have two points on the line, plus the slope.  Let's write out the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:

y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

Here, using the point (1, -6), we obtain:

y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form

Orlando buys a shirt for $15 and a pair of jeans for $32.50. If the sales tax is 8%, what is the total price Orlando pays for th
scoray [572]
$15 + $32.50 + 8% = $51.30

15 + 32.50 = 47.50

8% × 47.50 = 3.80

47.50 + 3.80 = 51.30

kramer

Answer:

d. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The base for this "exponential" function is sufficiently close to 1 that the function looks linear. The value corresponding to x=0 seems to be 1.00. Rounded to tenths, it is 1.0.
