Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cake shared=1/2

Pete share=x

Bill= twice as much as Pete

=2x

Pete's share+ Bill's share=total share

x+2x=1/2

3x=1/2

x=1/2÷3

x=1/2×1/3

=1/6

Pete's share=x=1/6

Bill's share=2x

=2(1/6)

=2/6

=1/3

Determine the slope of the line 3x − 5y − 6 = 0
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

slope   3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x − 5y − 6 = 0

To find the slope, we want to solve for y

(y = mx+b   slope intercept form of the equation(

Add 5y to each side

3x − 5y+5y − 6 = 0+5y

3x-6 = 5y

Divide by 5

3/5x -6/5 = 5y/5

3/5 x -6/5 = y

The slope is 3/5 and the y intercept is -6/5

Consider the system of linear equations. x + y = 9.0 0.50 x + 0.20 y = 4.05 Find the values of x and y .
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

x=7.5

y=1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 9.0

subtract x from both sides

y=9-x

0.50x + 0.20y= 4.05

0.50 x +0.20(9-x)= 4.05

0.50x+1.8-0.2x= 4.05

combine like terms

0.30x+1.8= 4.05

subtract 1.8 from both sides

0.30x=2.25

divide both sides by 0.3

x=7.5

y=9-x

y=9-7.5

y=1.5

20 points<br> What is the linear function equation represented by the graph?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

F(x) = 2/3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

I found this out by first starting off with the equation, f(x) = mx + b. (b is the y intercept, m is the slope.) The y intercept, where the line passes through the y axis, is 3. (f(x) = mx + 3) Now, look at rise over run, and see that the slope is 2/3, since for every one it goes over, it goes up 2/3. your final equation is f(x) = 2/3x + 3
