Jay needs 19 quarts more paint for the outside of his barn than for the inside. If he uses 107 quarts in all, how many gallons o

love history [14]

Let's use q to represent the number of quarts needed.

you would have the following:

2q= 107-19
2q=88
q=44
44 is the number of quarts in a in the barn.
Now you have to divide that number by 4 to get gallons because there is 4 quarts in a gallon.
There are 11 gallons of paint.

Two factors of -48 have a difference of 19. The factor with a

sdas [7]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number = -48

Listing out the possible factors of -48 in pairs along with their difference:

Factors ( $F_1\times F_2$ ) Difference ( $F1-F2$ ) Difference ( $F_2-F_1$ )

$-2\times 24$ -26 26

$2\times -24$ 26 -26

$-3\times 16$ -19 19

$3\times -16$ 19 -19

$-4\times 12$ -16 16

$4\times -12$ 16 -16

$6\times -8$ -14 14

$12\times -4$ 14 -14

On listing out the factors we find out that two of the pairs have difference = 19

The pairs are $-3, 16$ and $3,-16$

It is given that the factor with greater absolute value is positive. This means 16 would be positive while 3 would be negative.

So, our factors are $-3, 16$

The sum of the factors is = $-3+16=13$ (Answer)

What is the slope in slope-intercept form for this graphs?

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since the line crosses the y axis at -4 we know that b in the slope intercept form is -4 . now we just need the slope.. and slope is rise over run or y/x... soooo .....

looking at the graph I see that the point (-1,4) and (0,-4) look like they are points on the graph..

soooo....

the rise is -8 when the run is 1 or -8/1 or just -8

use the slope intercept form y = mx + b

y= -8x + (-4)

y = -8x -4 :)
