Answer: $y = -\frac{2}{3}x+2$

Check out the diagram below.

======================================================

Work Shown:

$2x + 3y = 6\\\\3y = 6-2x\\\\3y = -2x+6\\\\y = \frac{-2x+6}{3}\\\\y = \frac{-2x}{3}+\frac{6}{3}\\\\y = -\frac{2}{3}x+2\\\\$

The steps above show us subtracting 2x from both sides, then we divide both sides by 3 to fully isolate y.

The last equation is in $y = mx+b$ form with $m = -\frac{2}{3}$ as the slope and $b = 2$ as the y intercept.

The length of a rectangle is 4 centimeters more than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 86 centimeters , find

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

P = perimeter = 2L + 2W = 86 cm. Also, L = W + 4. Subst. W + 4 for L,

P = 2(W + 4) + 2W = 86 cm. Then 2W + 8 + 2W = 86 cm, and 4W = 78 cm.

Finally solving for W, W = (78 cm)/4, or 19.5 cm.

If W = 19.5 cm, then L = W + 4 cm = 19.5 cm + 4 cm = 23.5 cm

The rectangle's dimensions are 19.5 cm by 23.5 cm.

A group of four boys (Alex, Bryan, Chris, and David) and five girls (Megan, Nancy, Olivia, Pauline, and Rebecc?

aliina [53]

Answer:

a) P = 362880 ways

b) P = 2880 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have four boys and five girls, they are going to sit together in a row of 9 theater seats, without restrictions

We have a permutation of 9 elements

P = 9!

P = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P = 362880 ways

b) Boys must seat together, we have two groups of people

4 boys they can seat in 4! different ways

P₁ = 4!

P₁ = 4*3*2*1

P₁ = 24

And girls can seat in 5! dfferent ways

P₂ = 5!

P₂ = 5*4*3*2*1

P₂ = 120

To get total ways in the above mentioned condition, we have to multiply P₁*P₂

P = 24*120

P = 2880 ways

Evaluate the expression 3(7 + 4)2 − 14 ÷ 7. (5 points)

Kitty [74]

3(7 + 4)2 − 14 ÷ 7

First do the parenthesis

7 + 4 = 11

so the question looks like: 3(11)2 - 14/7

Then multiply 3, 11, and 2 together

3 x 11 x 2 = 66

66 - 14/7

14/7 equals to 2

66 - 2

Then just simplify

66 - 2 = 64

64 is your answer

hope this helps

Monday: 10 apples and 5 bananas cost £4.20 Friday: 8 apples and 10 bananas cost £5.40 Find the cost of each - with an explanatio

motikmotik

Answer:

An apple costs £0.25

A banana costs £0.34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be apples and b be bananas.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

Solve for a:

10a+5b=4.2

Subtract 5b from both sides

10a=4.2-5b

Subtract 4.2 from both sides

10a-4.2= -5b

Multiply both sides by -1

-10a+4.2=5b

8a+10b=5.4

Subtract 10b from both sides

8a=5.4-10b

Subtract 5.4 from both sides

8a-5.4= -10b

Multiply both sides by -1

-8a+5.4= 10b

Divide both sides by 2

-4a+2.7=5b

Combine equations:

-4a+2.7= -10a+4.2

Add 10a to both sides

6a+2.7=4.2

Subtract 2.7 from both sides

6a=1.5

Divide both sides by 6

a=0.25

An apple costs £0.25

Solve for b:

10a+5b=4.2

Subtract 10a from both sides

5b= -10a+4.2

Subtract 4.2 from both sides

5b-4.2= -10a

Multiply both sides by -1

-5b+4.2=10a

8a+10b=5.4

Subtract 8a from both sides

10b= -8a+5.4

Subtract 5.4 from both sides

10b-5.4= -8a

Divide both sides by 4

2.5b-1.35= -2a

Multiply both sides by 5

12.5b-6.75= -10a

Multiply both sides by -1

-12.5b+6.75=10a

Combine equations:

-12.5b+6.75= -5b+4.2

Add 12.5b to both sides

6.75=7.5b+4.2

Subtract 4.2 from both sides

2.55=7.5b

7.5b=2.55

Divide both sides by 7.5

b=0.34

A banana costs £0.34

If you would like to check and see if it is true, (I already checked, it is) you can use the formulas I gave at the start of the explanation.

10a+5b=4.2

8a+10b=5.4

a=0.25

b=0.34
