Karolina [17]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x = y - 3

Also,

6(y - 3) = 3y + 6

6y - 18 = 3y + 6

6y - 3y = 6 + 18

3y = 24

y = 24/3

y = 8

x = 8 - 3

x = 5

Therefore, the first number is 5 and the second number is 8.

In her poems, Alice Walker retrieves and ------- parts
GalinKa [24]

The correct answer is option a) revitalizes . . consign to.

In her poems, Alice Walker retrieves and revitalizes parts of Black culture that some have been all too quick to consign to the past as fossilized artifacts.

The meaning of "revive" is "to strengthen," whereas "retrieve" is "to recuperate or regain."

Furthermore, the phrase "consign to the past" refers to sending something into the past in order to get rid of or get away from it, therefore Option A is the best fit for the statement.

As a result, by removing its ancient, fossilized objects, the poet is attempting to reclaim or reinforce some aspects of black culture.

a school bake sale earned over $25 from selling cookies, which cost $3 each. how many cookies did they sell? identify the number
SSSSS [86.1K]
It said the sale earned OVER $25 from selling cookies at $3 dollars each so if we let r=revenue , p=price per cookie and c=number of cookies sold:

pc>r  and since p=3 and r=25 

3c>25  divide both sides by 3

c>25/3

Since cookies are quantized units, they must be integers so:

c>8 1/3

c≥9  or in interval notation

c=[9, +oo)

Use a property of equality to solve the equation <br> - 2a/5 = 13/15
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

a = -13/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by the same number (15).  This clears out the fractions:

     -2a             13

15 -------- = 15 ----------

        5               15

Then we have -2a(3) = 13, or

                          -6a    = 13, or

                              a = -13/6
