Answer:

y = -2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is writen like this; y = mx + b. Where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

We know the slope, so, find the y-intercept.

y = -2x + b

3 = -2(1) + b

3 = -2 + b

5 = b

Put everything we know/solved for into the original formula.

y = -2x + 5

Best of Luck!

Answer: x(.25)+(4+x(.25))=y

Step-by-step explanation:

1. set up the equation-

Ali has an unknown amount of quarters so make that x.

We know quarters are 25 cents so .25 if he has one quarter you put that one quarter into x, 2 into x and so on

Tom has 4 more, since he has 4 more it is 4+x and one again times .25

A photo of a mosquito in a science book is magnified to 635% of the mosquito's actual size.If the mosquito is 16 millimetres lon

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The length of the mosquito in the picture is 117.6 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

The real size of the mosquito is 16 mm, which is 100% = 1.

In the picture, the size is magnified 635%, so it is 100+635 = 735% = 7.35. So

16mm - 1

x mm - 7.35

x = 7.35*16 = 117.6

The length of the mosquito in the picture is 117.6 mm.

While on vacation Craig bought a pair of sunglasses for $15.98 for $7.99 5 postcards and a beach towel the beach towel cost 0.50

NISA [10]

Answer:

$0.79.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T= The price of beach towel,

P = The cost of each postcard.

S = The cost of sunglasses.

H = The cost of hat.

We have been given that while on vacation Craig bought a pair of sunglasses for $15.98. The beach towel cost 0.50 cents more than half the price of sunglasses.

We can set this information in an equation as:

$T=\frac{15.98}{2}+0.50$

$T=7.99+0.50$

$T=8.49$

We are told that Craig gave the cashier $40 and got 3.59 change and each postcard cost the same. So we can set this information in an equation as:

$T+5P+S+H=40-3.59$

Let us substitute our given values.

$8.49+5P+15.98+7.99=40-3.59$

Let us combine like terms.

$32.46+5P=36.41$

Let us subtract 32.46 from both sides of our equation.

$32.46-32.46+5P=36.41-32.46$

$5P=3.95$

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 5.

$\frac{5P}{5}=\frac{3.95}{5}$

$P=0.79$

Therefore, each postcard costs $0.79.
