Mathematics

Answer:

The x intercept is (12,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5x+4.5y=18  Subtract 1.5 x from both sides of the equation

4.5y=-1.5x+18  Divide both sides of the equation by 4.5

4.5y/4.5=-1.5x/4.5+18/4.5

y=-1/3x+4

The slope is -1/3

The y intercept is (0,4)

To find the x intercept, yet y=0 and solve.

1.5x+4.5y=18

1.5x+4.5(0)=18

1.5x=18  Divide both sides of the equation by 1.5

1.5x/1.5=18/1.5

x=12

The slope is 1/3. You subtract 1.5x on both sides and you are left with 4.5y = 18-1.5x. Then you divide by 4.5 on both sides and you get y=4-1/3x. The slope is always the number multiplied by x.

Cary's barbecue sauce recipe calls for 2 2/3 cups of water for every 8 pints of tomato sauce. How many cups of water does cary u
harina [27]
In order to make this easier, let us convert the fraction into a mixed number. 2 2/3 would become 8/3. Now, let us divide 8 pints by 8/3 cups and we get 24/8 or 3 cups. Therefore, the amount of water that Cary has to use when she makes barbecue sauce with 1 pint of tomato is 3 cups.

Mario has a business selling muffins. Let x be the price of a muffin. Then, the profit P for Mario’s business is given by p(x)=-
Rufina [12.5K]
To make a positive profit p(x)>0 we need to make:
-100 x^{2} +350x-150 \ \textgreater \  0

Now we solve this for x:
-2 x^{2} +7x-3 \ \textgreater \ 0

We have:
a = -2
b = 7
c = -3

We will use formula for quadratic equation:
x_{1} =  \frac{-b+ \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}  \\  \\  x_{2} =  \frac{-b- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}  \\  \\  x_{1} =  \frac{-7+ \sqrt{ 49-24 } }{-4} = \frac{-7+5 }{-4} = \frac{-2 }{-4} = \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\  x_{2} =  \frac{-7- \sqrt{ 49-24 } }{-4}  = \frac{-7-5 }{-4} = \frac{-12 }{-4} = 3

We got two solutions. One is fraction other is whole number. We will not consider fraction because the amount of muffins sold must be whole number. So our solution is:
x>3

Juana compró una camioneta 4x4 a S/ 42 000; además, sabe que la camioneta se depreciará (bajará su precio) en forma lineal duran
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Una relación lineal es de la forma:

y = a*x + b.

donde a es la pendiente y b es la ordenada al origen.

en este caso, y es el precio de la camioneta, x es el numero de años que pasaron, a es la razon de depreciación de la camioneta y b es el precio inicial de la camioneta, b = $42,000.

Sabemos que después de 5 años, el precio de la camioneta es 21,000, entonces podemos resolver:

$21,000 = a*5 + $42,000

a*5 = $21,000 - $42,000 = -$21,000

a = -$21,000/5 = -$4,200

Esto significa que el precio decae $4,200 por año

viva [34]
According to my study,  current yield is calculated by using the formula Interest or dividends divided by the current price of the security or simple the current price. So the current price in this given question is 102.114 and the interest is 8.1%, we will simply divide the two; 8.1 / 102.114 = 0.07732310947 or approximately .077. The answer is A.
