Slope = 2/3 (positive 2/3)
You use the formula Y2-Y1/X2-X1 in order to get the slope

Kate and Jean paint a house together in 6 days. If they work alone, Kate takes 5 fewer days than Jean would take to do the same

ELEN [110]

Katework+jeanwork=6
work alone
Katework=-5+Jeanwork
ad 5 to both sides
Katework+5=jeanwork
subsitute 5+katework for jeanwork
5+katework+kateworkwork=6
subtract 5 from both sides
2katework=1
divide both sides by 2
katework=0.5days

equation would be
jeanwork+katework=6 and
katework=jeanwork-5 are the equations

Find the solution(s) to 22 +57-3 = 0. Check all that apply.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

x = -3 and x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solutions to

2x² + 5x - 3 = 0

we can use the quadratic formula, as follows:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2- 4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}$

$x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2- 4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}$

$x = \frac{-5 \pm 7}{4}$

$x_1 = \frac{-5 + 7}{4}$

$x_1 = 0.5$

$x_2 = \frac{-5 - 7}{4}$

$x_2 = -3$

If one basket contains five bottles each weighing 7 1/4 ANSYS and the other basket has six apples each weighing 6 1/2 ounces woo

Tems11 [23]

<em>Question:</em>

<em>If one basket contains five bottles each weighing 7 1/4 and the other basket has six apples each weighing 6 1/2 ounces. Which basket is heavier and by how much ?</em>

Answer:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples by $3\frac{3}{4}$ ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Bottles = 5$

$Weight(Bottle) = 7\frac{1}{4}$

$Apples = 6$

$Weight(Apple) = 6\frac{1}{2}$

Required

Determine which basket is heavy

and by how much?

First, we need the total weight of each basket.

For the bottles' basket

$Total\ Weight = Weight * Bottles$

$Total\ Weight = 7\frac{1}{4} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{29}{4} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{29 * 5}{4}$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{145}{4}$

$Total\ Weight = 36\frac{1}{4}$

For the bottles' basket

$Total\ Weight = Weight * Apples$

$Total\ Weight = 6\frac{1}{2} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{13}{2} * 5$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{13* 5}{2}$

$Total\ Weight = \frac{65}{2}$

$Total\ Weight = 32\frac{1}{2}$

By comparing both total weights, $36\frac{1}{4} > 32\frac{1}{2}$

Hence:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples

Calculating the difference:

$Difference = 36\frac{1}{4} - 32\frac{1}{2}$

$Difference = \frac{145}{4} - \frac{65}{2}$

$Difference = \frac{145 - 130}{4}$

$Difference = \frac{15}{4}$

$Difference = 3\frac{3}{4}$

Hence:

It weighs more by $3\frac{3}{4}$ ounces
