C=number of acres of corn
w=number of acres of wheat
total is 180 acres
c+w=180
wants to plant 3 times as many corn as wheat
c=3w
subsitute 3w for c in other
c+w=180
3w+w=180
4w=180
divide boh sides by 4
w=45
sub back
c=3w
c=3(45)
c=135
135 acres of corn and 45 acres of wheat
Answer:
12.3 – (-9.6) = 12.3 + 9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C. 
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope when you know two points, use this formula:
M = y₂ - y₁ ÷ x₂ - x₁
M = (4 - (-8)) ÷ (0 - (-7))
M = 12 ÷ 7
M =

Answer:
a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2
7 = -5*(-2) + c
7 = 10 + c
c = 7-10 = -3
Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.
We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:
2 = -5a -3
5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)
-a = 1 (now by -1)
a = -1
