X + 5 + 11x = 12x + y
Simplify: 12x + 5 = 12x + y (We are adding x and 11x on the left side)
Subtract 12x from each side makes each zero.
5 = y
So we can plug in and test. I'm picking two random numbers to plug in for x. 10, and 82
x = 10, y = 5
10 + 5 + 11(10) = 12(10) + 5
125 = 125
x = 82, y = 5
82 + 5 + 11(82) = 12(82) + 5
989 = 989
So we verified y = 5
Answer:
Slope is 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume
people were in the original group of winners as x
A group of winning ticket holders share equally 90,000,000 lottery
Before the money is divided, three more winning ticket holders are declared
so, total number of winning tickes =x+3
each persons share is reduced to 5,000,000
so, total money =5,000,000*(x+3)
and this must be equal to total money
now, we can solve for x
and we get
Subtrac both sides by 3
so,
number of people were in the original group of winners is 15 ...........Answer
Answer:
y = -1/4x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the slope by finding two points on the line, and doing (y1-y2) ÷ (x1-x2). The two points I chose were (0,2), and (4,1). We can plug this into the equation to get (2-1) ÷ (0-4), to get -1/4, which is our slope. We can see on the graph, that the line intersects with the y axis when the y coordinate is 2, making the y-int 2.
Answer:
a) -3 gallons per hour
b) y = -3x +14
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change is computed by dividing the amount of change by the interval over which it occurred.
<h3>a)</h3>
Here the amount of gas decreased from 14 to 2 gallons, so a decrease of 14-2 = 12 gallons. That occurred over a 4-hour period, so the rate of change is (-12 gallons)/(4 hours) = -3 gallons/hour.
__
<h3>b)</h3>
The initial amount was 14 gallons, so the equation for the line describing remaining gas will be ...
y = -3x +14 . . . . gas in the tank after x hours
