Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Ratio              =                  New Ratio        All these problems are done the same way. Try to conquer the language.

The original ratio = 24 inches wide / 12 inches tall

Shawna's new ratio = you don't know / 2 inches in height (or tall)

Call what you don't know = x

24/12 = x / 2                        Cross multiply

12 * x = 24 * 2                     Combine the right

12 * x = 48                           Divide by 12

12x/12 = 48/12

x = 4

So the new height is 4 inches.

Adrian is a songwriter who collects royalties on his songs whenever they are played in a commercial or movie. Adrian will earn $
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Adrian's songs played on 9 commercials and 5 movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes number of commercials and y denotes number of movies.

Total number of commercials and movies = 14

So,

x+y=14\\x=14-y\,\,\,\,...(i)

Adrian will earn $40 every time one of his songs is played in a commercial and he will earn $130 every time one of his songs is played in a movie

Total amount earned = $1010

40x+130y=1010\,\,\,...(ii)

Put x=14-y in (ii)

40(14-y)+130y=1010\\560-40y+130y=1010\\90y=1010-560\\90y=450\\y=\frac{450}{90}=5

Put y=5 in x=14-y

x=14-5=9

Therefore, Adrian's songs played on 9 commercials and 5 movies.

Which equation best represents the relationship between x and y in the graph? (PLEASE ANSWER I BEG YOU :( PLSSSSS)​
USPshnik [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe the line graph.

For every 1 block across, the line goes up by 2 blocks. Therefore Slope = Rise/Run = (2)/(1) = 2.

Also, the y-intercept when x = 0 is 2.

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + c

Hence we have y = 2x + 2. (C)
