Answer:

So the slope is -8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope you have to use m = y2-y1/x2-x1

so lets plug in our numbers

m = - 4- 4/5-2

= -8/3

So the slope is -8/3

Alina [70]

Answer:

20 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

First start off by dividing 48 by 12 to see how many times 12 goes into 48.

48 / 12 = 4

now that you know that 12 goes into 48 4 times, multiply 4 by 5 to see how many gallons the leaky faucet will fill in 48 hours.

4 x 5 = 20

therefore the answer is 20 gallons

I hope this helps ^^

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Ellen invested $60 and Bob invested $140

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two amounts invested by 3x and 7x

(notice 3x : 7x = 3 : 7 )

then 3x + 7x = 200

10x = 200

x = 20

then 3x = 3(20) = 60

and 7x = 7(20) = 140

60+140=200

Whats balance fe+30^2 >fe^2O^3

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

You are given:

4Fe+3O_2 -> 2Fe_2O_3

4:Fe:4

6:O_2:6

You actually have the same number of Fe on both sides, The same is true for O_2 so yes this equation is properly balanced.

For added benefit consider the following equation:

CH_4+O_2-> CO_2+2H_2O

ASK: Is this equation balanced? Quick answer: No

ASK: So how do we know and how do we then balance it?

DO: Count the number of each atom type you have on each side of the equation:

1:C:1

4:H:4

2:O:4

As you can see everything is balanced except for O To balance O we can simply add a coefficient of 2 in front of O_2 on the left side which would result in 4 O atoms:

CH_4+color(red)(2)O_2-> CO_2+2H_2O

1:C:1

4:H:4

4:O:4

Everything is now balanced.

The Martinez family went to the movies and paid $60 for two adult tickets and three children’s tickets. The Wright family consis

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a = $13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult tickets

Let c = children tickets

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

For the Martinez family;

2a + 3c = $60

For the Wright family;

3a + 5c = $95.5

Thus, the simultaneous equations are;

$2a + 3c = $60$ ..........equation 1

$3a + 5c = $95.5$ .........equation 2

We would use substitution method to solve;

From equation 2, we make a the subject of formula;

3a = 95.5 - 5c

a = (95.5 - 5c)/3

Substituting the value of "a" into equation 1, we have;

2[(95.5-5c)/3] + 3c = 60

Multiplying all through by 3;

2(95.5 - 5c) + 9c = 180

191 - 10c + 9c = 180

191 - c = 180

c = 191-180

c = $11

To find the value of a;

2a +3c = 60

Substituting the value of "c" into the equation, we have;

$2a + 3(11) = 60$

$2a + 33 = 60$

$2a = 60 - 33$

$2a = 27$

$a = \frac{27}{2}$

a = $13.5

Therefore, the cost of an adult movie ticket is $13.5.
