The number of stickers John and Ken have in the end is 6 and 18 respectively.

<h3>How to write and solve equation?</h3>

let

  • Ken stickers = x
  • John stickers =3x

New stickers

  • Ken = x - 12
  • John = 5x

x + x - 12 = 3x + 5x

2x - 12 = 8x

-12 = 8x - 6x

-12 = -2x

x = 12/2

x = 6

So,

Ken stickers = x

= 6 stickers

John stickers = 3x

= 3 × 6

= 12 stickers

Ari thinks the perfect milkshake has 3 ounces of caramel for every 5
tangare [24]

Answer:

A - They Have Too Much Caramel

Step-by-step explanation:

Ari likes 3 oz caramel for 5 scoops ice cream.

Freeze Zone makes 6 oz caramel with 8 scoops of ice cream.

Divide both amounts of Freeze Zone by 2.

6 oz caramel for 8 scoops of ice cream is the same ratio as

3 oz caramel for 4 scoops of ice cream.

Since Ari likes 3 oz caramel for 5 scoops ice cream,

he will think it's too much caramel for the ice cream.

Does (-24,-12) and (-15,-9) line pass through point (18,2)?
Dmitrij [34]

Find the slope using the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

-9-(-12)/-15-(-24)

3/9

1/3

Find the y-intercept using the formula [ y = mx + b ].

y = 1/3x + b

-12 = 1/3(-24) + b

-12 = -8 + b

-4 = b

Use (18, 2) to see if the line passes through it

y = 1/3x - 4

2 = 1/3(18) - 4

2 = 6 - 4

2 = 2 TRUE

Thus, the line does pass through (18, 2).

Best of Luck!

Y = – 3
KonstantinChe [14]

The  best approximation for the solution to this system of equations is (-2.2,-3)

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the system of equations to get the exact value of x:

y = -3\\y = x-0.8

Let

y = -3\,\,eq(1)\\y = x-0.8\,\,eq(2)

Putting value of y from eq(1) into eq(2)

-3=x-0.8

x=-3+0.8

x=-2.2

So, Value of x is -2.2

The  best approximation for the solution to this system of equations is:

x=-2.2 and y = -3

(-2.2,-3)

Option C is correct.
