Answer:

a screw is a simple machine that works as a modified inclined plane. You can think of the thread of the screw as an inclined plane wrapped around the shaft of the screw. The slope of the screw is the distance for one complete rotation while the height of the inclined plane is the distance between the threads, known as pitch. The relationship between the pitch and circumference of the screw gives the mechanical advantage.

I think 45 because if you look at the top of the other 45 the graphs look the same lengths except this one stretches out so 45°

PLEASE HELP EXPLAIN!!!!!

Nookie1986 [14]

I think( so correct me if i'm wrong).....Using the distance formula... D=Rate x Time, you alter it so that it equals time, since you want to find the number of weeks.
Time = Distance/ rate
SInce you start off at 2 and end up with 5, the total distance is 3 (I subtracted 5-2). And rate is already 12% (this is the iffy part, I'm not sure if you change the 12% in anyway.... but lets move on)

SO Time= 3miles/ 12% which is 1/4 of a week, or possibly.....

Time = 3 miles/ 0.12 which would equal 25 weeks.....
Do they give you these answers?

In order to solve the following system of equations by addition, which of the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

$\begin{cases}4x-2y=7\\3x-3y=15 \end{cases}$

To solve the given system of equations by addition, make one of the variables in both equations sum to zero. To do this, the chosen variable must have the same coefficient, but it should be negative in one equation and positive in the other, so that when the two equations are added together, the variable is eliminated.

To eliminate the variable y:

Multiply the top equation by -3 to make the coefficient of the y variable 6:

$\implies -3(4x-2y=7) \implies -12x+6y=-21$
