To solve this problem we need to know the form of the general equation of the line. That is, y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the intercept. We are already given the y-intercept (2) our next step is to fin the slope. Substitute the point give (1,1) in the equation y= mx+2 and then solve for m. The slope is then -6. The final equation is y = -x+2 or <span>x + y - 2 = 0</span>
Answer:
30 out of 40: 75%
40 out of 50: 80%
40 out of 50 is the better score
the correct answer should be (b) 6 is extraneous.
If you look at the second row of the solution you see (x-6) as a factor in one of the denominators. That's a problem: if 6 were a solution this denominator would become 0. But denominators being 0 is bad (undefined), so while 6 comes out of the algebraic manipulation as a solution, it is invalid, or extraneous.
-3 is a fine solution.
Sarah is 14
The twins are 12
The youngest (n) is 7
14+(12+12)+7=45
n=7
Answer:
The tip would be worth $2.19
Step-by-step explanation:
x - is the full bill
1/20 x = $0.73
Solve for x:
Multiply both sides by 20.
<u>20</u>*(1/20 x) = <u>20</u>*(0.73)
x = 14.6
Now we just have to find 15% of x to find the tip.
3/20 (14.6) = 2.19
So, the tip would be worth $2.19
