Answer:

y = 5x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we already know the slope, all we need to do is plug the values of x and y into the equation.

y = 5x + b

-1 = 5(4) + b

-1 = 20 + b

-21 = b

The equation is y = 5x - 21.

A department store sold 34 shirts one day. All short-sleeved shirts cost $11.00 each and all long-sleeved shirts cost $21.00 eac

ANEK [815]

S + l. = 34
11s + 21l= 514

-11s - 11l= -374
11s + 21l = 514

10l = 140

l = 20 long sleeve shirts

s + 20 = 34

s = 14 short sleet shirts

Chase has 3 gallons of a solution that is 30% antifeeze that he wants to use to winterize his car. How much pure antifreeze shou

makvit [3.9K]

Let x gallons be the amount of pure antifreeze that should be added to the 30% solution to produce a solution that is 65% antifreeze. Then the total amount of antifreeze solution will be x+3 gallons.

There are 30% of pure antifreeze in 3 gallons of solution, then

3 gallons - 100%,

a gallons - 30%,

where a gallons is the amount of pure antifreeze in given solution.

Mathematically,

$\dfrac{3}{a}=\dfrac{100}{30},\\ \\a=\dfrac{3\cdot 30}{100}=0.9\ gallons.$

Now in new solution there will be x+0.9 gallons of pure antefreeze.

x+3 gallons - 100%,

x+0.9 - 65%

$\dfrac{x+3}{x+0.9}=\dfrac{100}{65},\\ \\65(x+3)=100(x+0.9),\\ \\65x+195=100x+90,\\ \\35x=105,\\ \\x=3\ gallons.$

Answer: he should add 3 gallons of pure antifreeze.

Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 99

Illusion [34]

Let x be the first odd number.

Second odd number will be x+2

Proof:

If 3 (was) the first odd number, 3+2 would be the next which is 5.

So,

(x) (x+2) = 99
xsquare + 2x = 99
xsquare +2x - 99 = 0
xsquare +11x - 9x -99 = 0
x(x +11) -9(x + 11) = 0
(x+11) (x-9) = 0

So the two odd numbers were 9 and 11
