Answer:

The other number is \frac{4}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two rational numbers, x and -8, is -12. This means that:

-8x = -12

The other number is x, which we find solving the equation. So

8x = 12

x = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{4}{3}

The other number is \frac{4}{3}

Beverly is starting a new diet. Her current weight is 160 pounds. She expects to lose 4 pounds per month. If x represents the nu
nevsk [136]

The answer is B) or y = -4x + 160


If her initial weight is 160 pounds, then you must subtract 4x, representing how much weight she lost over time, to find her current weight y


But, since y = 160 – 4x isn't an option, we can reverse to negatives as long as you change the addition/subtraction sign


So, subtracting positive 4x is the same as adding -4x


Therefore, y = 160 – 4x is the same as y = -4x + 160

A computer and printer cost total of $927 the cost of the computer is two times the cost of the planet find the cost of each ite
swat32

The cost of the printer is $309 and cost of the computer is $618.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the cost of computer

Let y denote the cost of printer

Total cost of printer and computer OR

x + y = $927

<u>To find the cost of x and y,</u>

Cost of computer = 2 x cost of the planet

x = 2y

x+y = 927

2y+y = 927

3y = 927

y = 309

x = 2y

x = 2(309)

x = 618

Therefore, the cost of the printer is $309 and cost of the computer is $618.

Helpp, I need to determine the slope and y-intercept for each group. I need to write an equation for the graph in slope-intercep
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Slope = -2

Y intercept = 4

Equation. y = -2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using points, (1,2) and (3,-2)

Slope = (-2-2)/(3-1) = -4/2 = -2

Y intercept = 4

-2 = (y-3)/(x-1)

-2(x-1) = y-3

-2x +2 = y-3

y = -2x +2 +3

y = -2x +5
