Answer:

B) The slope is negative 1/2 and the y-intercept is (0, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

First we rewrite the equation so we can easily find the slope and y-intercept. We do this by isolating the y-term:

2x+4y = 12

We want to subtract 2x from each side:

2x+4y-2x = 12-2x

4y = 12-2x

4y = -2x+12

Now we divide both sides by 4 (everything on both sides gets divided!):

4y/4 = -2x/4 + 12/4

y = -2/4x + 3

y = -1/2x + 3

The slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is 3 (the point (0, 3)).

Her graph shows the y-intercept at (0, 3); this part is correct.

The graph also shows we go down one and over two between points; this is a slope of -1/2, which is correct.

Maya bought a dozen specialty donuts at the bakery for $18. She purchased a mixture of frosted donuts for $2 each, glazed donuts

Zina [86]

Answer:

The quantity of frosted donuts = 2

The quantity of glazed donuts = 9

The quantity of custard filled donuts = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quantity of frosted donuts = $x$

Let the quantity of glazed donuts = $y$

Let the quantity of custard filled donuts = $z$

As per question statements, following equations can be made:

$x+y+z=12......(1)\\2x+y+5z=18.....(2)\\x=2z ...... (3)$

Putting $x=2x$ in (1) and (2):

$y+3z=12 .... (4)\\y+9z=18 .... (5)$

Subtracting (4) from (5):

$6z=6\\\Rightarrow z =\bold{1}$

By equation (3):

$x=\bold{2}$

By equation (1):

$y=\bold{9}$

Therefore, the answers are:

The quantity of frosted donuts = 2

The quantity of glazed donuts = 9

The quantity of custard filled donuts = 1

Helga [31]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$ of the phones in office has both a speaker phone and a conference-call capability

Step-by-step explanation:

Since total number of phones in the office is not given, the answer will be "in that terms".

let it be x

So built in speaker phones is (1/4)x

Hence conference call phones would be (1/2)(1/4x) = (1/8)x

Hence "1/8th of the phones in office has both a speaker phone and a conference-call capability"

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

They make <u>27</u> two points basket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Kelly's basketball team made a total of 33 two points and three point baskets in their game last week.

If her team scored a total of 72 points.

Now, to find the number of two points baskets they make.

Let the two points basket be $x.$

And the three points basket be $y.$

So, total number of two points and three point baskets are:

$x+y=33$

$y=33-x\ \ \ .........(1)$

Now, the total points team scored:

$2x+3y=72$

Substituting the value of $y$ from equation (1) we get:

$2x+3(33-x)=72$

$2x+99-3x=72$

<em>Subtracting both sides by 99 we get:</em>

$2x-3x=-27$

$-x=-27$

<em>Dividing both sides by -1 we get:</em>

$x=27.$

The the two points basket = 27.

Therefore, they make 27 two points basket.
