38,496 rounded to the nearest thousand is 38,000.
Let's define our variables before anything else:
Kas = S
Jaspar = R
Jae = E
$400 is divided between Kas, Jaspar and Jae
This means S + R + E = 400
Kas has twice as much as Jaspar
This means that S = 2R
Jaspar has three times as much as Jae
This means that R = 3E
Because both of our smaller formulas have R, let's replace everything in the first formula with R
S + R + E = 400
plug in values
2R + R + R/3 = 400
multiply everything by 3 to get rid of the denominator
6R + 3R + R = 1200
add
10R = 1200
divide
R = 120
So Jaspar receives $120
Jess guessed correctly because the number of cherries in a bag is 63. 7x9=63 and 6+3= 9. 63 rounded to the nearest 10 is 60.
Answer:
slope of the line is -0.5
y-intercept is 13
Explanation:
The general formula of the linear equation is:
y = mx + c
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
1- getting the slope:
We are given the two points:
(6,10) representing (x1 , y1)
(12,7) representing (x2 , y2)
The slope of the line will be calculated as follows:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (7-10) / (12-6) = -3/6 = -0.5
The equation of the line now becomes:
y = -0.5x + c
2- getting the value of the y-intercept:
To get the value of the y-intercept (c), we will use any of the given points, substitute in the equation of the line and solve for c. I will use the point (6,10) as follows:
y = -0.5x + c
10 = -0.5(6) + c
10 = -3 + c
c = 13
Based on the above, the equation of the line would be:
y = -0.5x + 13
Hope this helps :)
