Answer:

(x,y): (6 , -3) or (-30/7 , 33/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 8y = 12

x = y + 9 or   y = x+ 9

if x = y+9

6*(y+9) + 8y = 12

14y = -42

y = -3 and x = 6

if y = x+9

6x + 8*(x+9) = 12

14x = -60

x = -30/7   and y = 33/7

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio
Anton [14]
HOW TO SOLVE:

1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
          4x + 3x + 5x = 18

3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
          12x = 18

4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
          x=1.5

5) Find the lengths of the sides:

        - 4x = 4(1.5) = 6

        - 3x = 3(1.5) =  4.5

       - 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5

SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5

T models the temperature (in degrees Celsius) in New York City when it's t hours after midnight on a given day. Match each state
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Please check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to do a matching.

We shall be matching the given statements with the features we have on the graph

Hence we shall be looking closely at the graph to answer the questions.

The y-intercept is the point at which the graph touches the y-axis

And it was at -3 degrees celsius at the beginning of the day.

The temperature was above zero between 8am and 8pm. The matching statement is that it is increasing or decreasing interval

We can see that the graph rose from 8am before it finally comes to zero at 8pm

Positive or negative interval matches with it was getting warmer between 2am and 2pm.

While temperature was lowest at 2am, we can see a peak at 2pm.
