Since the slope stays the same as it's parallel, we have y=(3/4)x+b. Plugging (2,-1) in, we get -1=3*2/4+b=6/4+b=1.5+b. Subtracting 1.5 from both sides, we get -2.5=b and our equation being y=(3/4)x-2.5 (since in y=mx+b, y and x remain as variables)
Answer: Situation A fits the equation
Explanation:
Sierra has 340 oz of water and is being filled (+) 5oz every minute(x) = Brian has a bucket with 650 oz of water and is being drain( - ) 8oz every minute(x)
34=2x + 16
18=2x
x=9
Robert used 9 grams of iron filings in his first experiment.
Answer:
the numbers are 7 and 11
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add the smaller to the sum of numbers, you have the sum of the greater and twice the smaller. That is ...
18 + smaller = 25
smaller = 25 -18 = 7
larger = 18 -7 = 11
The two numbers are 7 and 11.
_____
If you like, you can write two equations. Let x and y represent the smaller and larger numbers, respectively.
x + y = 18
2x + y = 25
Subtract the first equation from the second:
(2x +y) -(x +y) = (25) -(18)
x = 7
y = 18-x = 18-7 = 11
The numbers are 7 and 11.
