NOW SUPSTITUTE ONE SET OF X,Y POINTS & THE SLOPE (m) & SOLVE FOR (b) THE Y INTERCEPT. -2=-7/13*4+b -2=-28/13+b b=-2+28/13 b=(-26+28)/13 b=2/13 ANSER FOR THE Y INTERCEPT. THUS WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING LINE EQUATION: Y=-7X/13+2/13

M/2+1>7/4 M/2>7/4-1 M/2>(7-4)/4 M/2>3/4 M>(3/4)*2 M>6/4 M>1.5 ANSWER. LET M=1.6 PROOF 1.6/2+1>7/4 .8+1>7/4 1.8>1.75

Numbers_Word_Problems/113366: Find three positive consecutive even integers such that the product of the first and second is 8 more than 38 times the third. 1 solutions Answer 82497 by checkley71(8403)   on 2007-11-29 18:37:19 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! X, X+2, X+4 ARE THE 3 POSITIVE CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS. X(X+2)=8+38(X+4) X^2+2X=8+38X+152 X^2+2X-38X-8-152=0 X^2-36X-160=0 (X-40)(X+4)=0 X-40=0 X=40 ANSWER FOR THE FIRST INTEGER. 40+2=42 FOR THE SECOND INTEGER. 40+4=44 FOR THE THIRD INTEGER. PROOF 40*42=8+38*44 1680=8+1672 1680=1680

Linear-systems/113372: write the point slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the point and has the given slope, then rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (-2, 4), m = 3 Thanks for help 1 solutions Answer 82496 by checkley71(8403)   on 2007-11-29 18:29:37 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Y=mX+b WHERE m=SLOPE & b=Y INTERCEPT. NOW SUBSTITUTE THE X&Y VALUES & THE SLOPE (m) & SOLVER FOR b. 4=3*-2+b 4=-6+B b=4+6 b=10 THUS WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING EQUATION. Y=3X+10

Mixture_Word_Problems/113369: 1.If you add pure alcohol to a 15%alcohol solution, what percent alcohol are you adding, and how do you represent the percentage in decimal form? 2. If 4 gallons of alcohol is added to 2 gallons of a 15% percent solution, what percentage of alcohol is in the mixture? 1 solutions Answer 82494 by checkley71(8403)   on 2007-11-29 18:26:09 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! .15X+Y WHERE X IS THE AMOUNT OF 15% ALCOHOL & Y= THE AMOUNT OF 100% ALCOHOL. .15*2+4=Z*6 HERE THE Z IS THE PERCENT OF MIXED ALCOHOL CONTAINED IN THE 6 GALLONS. .3+4=6Z 6Z=4.3 Z=4.3/6 Z=.717 OR 71.7% ALCOHOL.
