Answer:

m = 4/3; b = -4
m = 3; b = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case, <em>solve for y</em>. You do this by getting the y-term by itself, then dividing by the coefficient of y.

-3y = -4x +12 . . . . . subtract 4x

y = 4/3x -4 . . . . . . . divide by -3

The slope is 4/3; the y-intercept is -4.

y = 3x -6 . . . . . . divide by 2

The slope is 3; the y-intercept is -6.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must also do to the other side. When we say "subtract 4x", that means 4x is subtracted from both sides of the equation. The reason for doing that in the first equation is to eliminate the 4x term from the left side.

(Sometimes, you may see operations described as "move ...". There is no property of equality called "move." There are <em>addition</em>, <em>subtraction</em>, <em>multiplication</em>, <em>division</em>, and <em>substitution</em> properties of equality. Any equation solving process will make use of one or more of these.)

7. Which dimensions result in the minimum perimeter for a rectangle with area 42.0 cm2?

Answer:

7. d. l = 6.48 cm, w = 6.48 cm

8. d. square

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given area, the perimeter can always be shortened by reducing the length of the long side and increasing the length of the short side. When you get to the point where you can't do that, then you have the minimum perimeter. You will reach that point when the sides are the same length: the rectangle is a square.

7. In light of the above, the best dimensions are √42 ≈ 6.48 cm for length and width.

8. In light of the above, the shape is a square.

_____

The attached graph shows the length of one side (x) and the associated perimeter. The other side is 42/x, which will also be 6.48.

Alex73 [517]

We need to build a system of equations:

a + b + c = 127......(1)
b - c = 13..............(2)
a - b - c = 41..........(3)

adding equations (1) and (3):-

2a = 168
a = 84
Substituting for in equation (1)-
84 + b + c = 127
b + c = 43...........(4)
Adding equations (2) and (4):-
2b = 56

b = 28
Finally from equation (2)
c = 28-13 = 15

Answer is Country a had 84 points , b had 28 points and c had 15 points.

Which of these statements best describes the relation shown in Item 1?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The relation is 'a function that is one-to-many'.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table, we can see that element 10 i.e. y=10 in the range, corresponds to two elements i.e. x=-5, and x=5 in the domain.

In other words, the given table represents the many-to-one function as an element of the range y = 10 corresponds to more than one element in the domain.

Therefore, the relation is 'a function that is one-to-many'.
