Answer:
If x = 3y and 3y = x, then y = 1/3x.
Answer:
x = - 4, x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x- intercepts let y = 0 , that is
- 3(x + 4)(x - 6) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4
x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6
Start with
Add 2x to both sides:
Subtract 21 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 5. Since it is positive, we don't have to change the inequality sign:
So, the answer is 
First write the equation in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as <em>y = mx + b</em> form where the <em>m </em>or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the <em>b</em> or the constant term represents the y-intercept.
Subtract 2x from both sides to get <em>y = -2x - 4</em>.
I put the x term first because that's how it is in y = mx + b form.
Now we can see that the <em>b</em> or the constant term is -4.
We can write this as the ordered pair (0, -4).
Keep in mind when writing a y-intercept as an ordered pair, your x-coordinate will always be 0 in the ordered pair.
Let's use the variable x to represent the length of the first and second pieces.
If the third piece has twice the length of the first and second, its length is 2x.
If the fourth piece has half the length of the first and second, its length is 0.5*x.
Adding all four pieces and equating to 54 inches, we have:
So the length of each piece is:
12 inches, 12 inches, 24 inches and 6 inches.
