Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to understand this is not the shortest way.

Give Michael 4 fives and then add an x.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + x

Now divide by 5 and equate that to 6

(5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + x)/5 = 6              

Combine the left side

(20 + x)/5 = 6

Multiply by 5

(20 + x) = 6*5

20 + x = 30

Subtract 20 from both sides

x = 30 - 20

x = 10

He needs 10 three - pointers to average 6

If master chief has three and a half cookies, and the arbiter has five and three quarters of a cookie, how many cookies do they
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

9\dfrac{1}{4}

4\dfrac{5}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

The master chief has three and a half cookies i.e. 3\dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{7}{2} numbers of cookies.

Again the arbiter has five and three quarters of a cookie i.e. 5\dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{23}{4} number of cookies.

Therefore, in total there are (\dfrac{7}{2} +\dfrac{23}{4} ) = \dfrac{37}{4} = 9\dfrac{1}{4} numbers of cookies.

If we divide the total number of cookies in to equal parts and distribute to then then each of them will get \dfrac{37}{4 \times 2} = \dfrac{37}{8} = 4\dfrac{5}{8} numbers of cookies. (Answer)

What is the perimeter, P, of a rectangle that has a length of x + 6 and a width of y - 1?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: P = 2x + 2y + 10

Step-by-step explanation: The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is given as

P = 2L + 2W

By factorizing the right hand side of the equation we now have

P = 2(L + W)

However, the length of the rectangle is given as x + 6 and the width is given as y - 1

If P = 2(L + W), then

P = 2(x + 6 + {y - 1} )

P = 2(x + 6 + y -1)

P = 2(x + y + 5)

After expanding the bracket, we now have

P = 2x + 2y + 10

 find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line Y equals 3X -6 and passes through the points (1 -8). Write the equa
AlladinOne [14]
<h3>hello!</h3>

=====================================================

Parallel lines have the same slope.

So if the given line has a slope of 3, then the line parallel to it has the same slope (3)

Now, let's write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form.

Remember, point-slope form looks like so:-

\bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\pmb{y-y1=m(x-x1)}}}

Where

y₁ is the y-coordinate of the point that the line passes through

m is the slope

x₁ is the x-coordinate of the point that the line passes through

In this case,

y₁ is equal to -8

m is equal to 3

x₁ is equal to 1

Plug in the values:

\longrightarrow\sf{y-(-8)=3(x-1)}

Simplify:

\longrightarrow\sf{y+8=3(x-1)}

and we're done!

=========================================================

<h3>note:-</h3>

Hope everything is clear; if you need any more explanation/clarification, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)
