substitute x for y-1
2(y-1)-y=6 distribute
2y-2-y=6 subtract y in 2y
y-2=6 add 2 to get y by itself
y=8
Put y back into equation x=y-1
x=8-1
X=7
The answer is b because the slope is 2 and the y intercept is 9
1/9 + 1/2 = 1/x
Let x = length of time it will take both hoses to work together
Multiply both sides by 18x.
2x + 9x = 18
10x = 18
x = 18/10
x = 9/5
x = 1.8 hours
In other words, if both hoses work together, the pool can be filled in 1 hour and 48 minutes.
Answer:
16 oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of oranges to apples is 4:3 which means that for every four oranges, there are 3 apples.
Since there are 12 apples in the basket, to find the number of oranges, set up a ratio.
4/3 = x/12 (x represents the number of oranges)
Cross multiply.
48 = 3x
Divide by 3.
x = 16
There are 16 oranges in the basket.
Hope that helps.
