Answer:

To find the Slope: Slope Formula: m = y2 −y1 x2 −x1. Given points: P (6,2) and S(3,1) will be our (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) respectively. Hence x1 = 6,y1 = 2,x2 = 3,y2 = 1. Slope(m) = 1 −2 3 −6. ⇒ −1 −3 = 1 3.

Answer:

p = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3=\frac{3p-p}{2-(-8)} =\frac{2p}{10}$

$\frac{2p}{10} =-3$

$2p=-3(10)$

$p=\frac{-30}{2}$

$p=-15$

$m=\frac{-45-(-15)}{2-(-8)} =\frac{-45+15}{2+8} =\frac{-30}{10} =-3$

Simplify x^3y^4/3y^4

yan [13]

The given expression is:
(x^3 * y^4) / (3y^4)

We can notice that the term y^4 is a common term found in both the numerator and the denominator of the given expression, therefore, we can cancel this term from the both numerator and denominator (as if you divided both numerator and denominator by y^4).

Doing this, we will have the simplified form of the expression as follows:
(x^3) / (3)

Translate into an algebraic expression and simplify if possible. I have a total of 10 gigabytes of data on my computer, xgigabyt

pogonyaev

Answer:

(20-3x)/2 GB

Explanation:

Total amount of data on my computer = 10GB

Total amount of data occupied by movies = x GB

If pictures take up half the amount of space that movies do, then;

Total amount of data occupied by pictures = 1/2 of space occupied by movies = 1/2 x

If the remaining are music, the amount of space occupied by music will be expressed as shown;

Total space -(space occupied by movies + space occupied by pictures)

= 10 - (x+1/2 x)

Total amount of data occupied by music = 10 - (x+1/2 x) GB

On simplification;

= 10 - (x+1/2 x)

= 10-{(2x+x)/2}

= 10 - {3x/2}

= (20-3x)/2 GB

Hence, amount of gigabytes of music stored on my computer is expressed as (20-3x)/2 GB.

Galen sold tickets for his church’s carnival for a total of $2,820. Children’s tickets cost $3 each and adult tickets cost $5 ea

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a = 195 ; c = 615

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you want to start by forming your equations...

I will use 'c' for children and 'a' for adults for my variables

3a + 30 = c

(this is because of the info that 30 more tickets than 3 times the amount of children's were sold than adult)

then for equation 2:

3c + 5a = 2820

(this is because of the prices of the tickets and the total money raised)

Then, plug in the equation for c

Your equation should look like:

3(3a + 30) + 5a = 2820

You get:

(9a +90) + 5a = 2820

Then:

14a = 2730

So:

a = 195 adult tickets sold

Plug in a, to find c:

3 (195) + 30 = c

585 + 30 = c

c = 615 children tickets sold

The fixed cost of making clothes for a clothing store for three years is $40,000. The number of pieces of clothing bought per ye

tamaranim1 [39]

Scenario B - 143 (Year 1), 109 (Year 2), 141 (Year 3)

In this scenario, the total income is 35,370. This is calculated by getting the sum of the number of garments in the span of three years and multiplying it by the rate of $90 per garment. Your income of 35,370 is lesser than your fixed cost for three years of 40,000.
