Since the question explicitly stated that ice production is proportional to time, we're going to have to use proportion fractions. Remember to convert hours into minutes as well.
Answer:
-x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x - 4) - (4x - 1) =
The first set of parentheses is unnecessary, so you can just remove it.
= 3x - 4 - (4x - 1)
To remove the second set of parentheses, you must distribute the negative sign to its left by the terms inside the parentheses. To do this, change every sign inside the parentheses.
= 3x - 4 - 4x + 1
Now combine like terms. Terms with x are like terms and are combined together. Therms without x are like terms and are combined together.
= 3x - 4x - 4 + 1
= -x - 3
Answer:
138
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 180-42
A because | | <- around a number means the absolute value which in this case is 6.
|-6| > -6
6 > -6
Answer:
x = - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate m using the slope formula and equate, since parallel lines have equal slopes.
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, - 13)
m = 
= 
and equating
= 
( cross- multiply )
9(x + 4) = - 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x + 4 = - 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
x = - 8
