Answer

3 tablespoons of vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

First, this question direction's aren't really clear because the question is saying from my perspective:

Trevor used 2 things: Oil and Vinegar.

Then it says he used 3 times as much oil as vinegar

After it says he used 9 tablespoons of oil.

Lastly, the question asks for how many tablespoons of vinegar did he use?

9 Table Spoons of Oil is the Constant Variable or something that doesn't change in the problem

If he used 3 times as much oil then the equation would be

n x 3 = 9

n is representing the vinegar, 3 is representing the "3 times", 9 is the amount of oil Trevor uses.

You would then do 9/3 (9 divided by 3 since we are doing opposite operations to solve for n)  which is equal to 3

In conclusion,

We needed to find the number of tablespoons of vinegar that Trevor used in his salad dressing, we know that 9 tablespoons is representing his oil, we wanted to find a number that is 3 times the tablespoons of vinegar but equalling to 9 since the oil is 3 times the vinegar. So the equation is n x 3 =9

Therefore, n=3 tablespoons of vinegar

The ordered pair (a, b) gives the location of point P on the coordinate plane. The value of b is negative. The value of a is not
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Quadrant III ( C )

Quadrant IV ( D )

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordered pair ( a, b )

gives a point P on the coordinate plane

( a, b ) = ( x, y )

given : b = negative ( y-axis )

           a ≠ 0 ( i.e. a = negative or positive ) ( x -axis )

Therefore point P is located in the : Third and fourth quadrants

Line N passes through the points (–1, 4) and (–1, –4).Which is true of line N? Line N is a vertical line with an undefined slope
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Line N is a vertical line with an undefined slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the points that line N passes through are graphed, they form a vertical line.

All vertical lines have an undefined slope.

We can also check if it's undefined by finding the slope.

m=\frac{-4-4}{-1+1}=\frac{-8}{0}

The quotient would be undefined. You cannot divide by zero.

Hope this helps.

The sum of the ages of Rudy and his father is 58 years. The difference in their ages is 32 years. How old is each ?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Rudy is 13 years old. Her father is 45 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's very simple actually!

<u>All you need to do is subtract 32:</u>

58 - 32 = 26

<u>Then divide:</u>

<u />

26 ÷ 2 = 13

13 is Rudy's age. Let's find her father's age!

<u>We then add 32 back to 13:</u>

32 + 13 = 45

And there you have it!

Hope this helped!  :)

Please help, basic algebra. Find the value of x
Naily [24]

Answer:

<em>76 degrees</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding angles help you solve this.

The vertical angle of x (meaning the one practically in front of it) is 76 degrees, since x is vertical to 76, the degree will be the same.
