B = bees, w = wasps, x = hornets
b + w + x = 184
b = 3x - 9
w = x + 28
(3x - 9) + (x + 28) + x = 184...combine like terms
5x + 19 = 184
5x = 184 - 19
5x = 165
x = 165/5
x = 33 <== points scored by Hornets
A linear equation in two variables describes a relationship in which the value of one of the variables depends on the value of the other variable. In a linear equation in x and y, x is called x is the independent variable and y depends on it. We call y the dependent variable.
Answer: y = x/2 + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where c = intercept
Slope, m = change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
Looking at the graph,
y2 = 6
y1 = 4
x2 = 6
x1 = 2
Slope,m = (6 - 4)/(6 - 2) = 2/4 = 1/2
To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 2, y = 4 and m= 1/2 into y = mx + c. It becomes
4 = 1/2 × 2 + c
4 = 1 + c
c = 4 - 1
c = 3
The equation becomes
y = x/2 + 3
I'm assuming a quarter-circle is exactly 1/4 of a circle. Thus if you have 4 congruent quarter-circles, that should mean they make a complete circle.
If that is the case, then we can find the area of the full circle using pi*r^2.
So the area of the circle is 5^2*pi or 25pi.
To find the area of the shaded region, we subtract the area of the circle from the area of the square.
The area of the square is 10^2 or 100.
So the area of the shaded region is 100 - 25pi.
My calculator says that equals roughly 21.46
