Answer:

7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

So! Ms. Masi earns $11.25 everyday, and is paying her brother back everyday. Let's make an equation to solve for the number of days!

11.25d = 72 <em>(d = # of days)</em>

<em>Now, we have to solve this equation to see how many days (d) it will take Ms. Masi to pay her brother back.</em>

<em></em>

11.25d = 72

÷11.25   ÷11.25 (Divide by "11.25" to get the variable by itself)

d = 6.4

<em>Since, she only gets 1 pay per day, Ms. Masi will have to wait til her 7th day to pay her brother back.</em>

<em></em>

Hope this Helps! :)

you are working on a project for school. the project will take 12 hours to finish in all. so far, you have worked on the project
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

6 hours and 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 12 hours into minutes.

12*60=720

Convert 5 hours to minutes and add 15

5*60=300+15=315

Subtract 720 from 315.

720-315=405

Convert into hours and minutes.

405/60=6.75

0.75 of an hour is 45 minutes so the answer is 6 hours and 45 minutes.

How many solutions does the system have?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

{x,y} = {-2,2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equation [2] for the variable  y  

 

  7y = 7x + 28

  y = x + 4

Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]

-8x + 4•(x +4) = 24

-4x = 8

Solve equation [1] for the variable  x  

4x = - 8  

x = - 2

By now we know this much :

   x = -2

   y = x+4

Use the  x  value to solve for  y  

   y = (-2)+4 = 2

Solution :

{x,y} = {-2,2}

and this intersects at only one point so your answer is A
