x- intercept = 5/2

y - intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the intercepts of a line are found by plugging in x=0 and y = 0

For x-intercept, we put y = 0

and

For- y-intercept we put =0

Given equation is:

$-4x + 7 = 2y - 3\\Putting\ y = 0\\-4x + 7 = 2(0) - 3\\-4x+7 = -3\\-4x = -3-7\\-4x = -10$

Dividing both sides by -4

$\frac{-4x}{-4} = \frac{-10}{-4}\\ = \frac{5}{2}$

Putting x = 0

$-4x + 7 = 2y - 3\\-4(0)+7 = 2y -3\\7 = 2y-3\\7+3 = 2y\\2y = 10$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{10}{2}\\y = 5$

So,

x- intercept = 5/2

y - intercept = 5

Thomas wants to invite Madeline to a party. He has an 80% chance of bumping into her at school. Otherwise, he’ll call her on the

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Thomas bumping into her at school is 80%, so the probability of not bumping into her is 100% - 80% = 20%.

If he doesn't bump into her (20% chance), he will call her, and the probability of asking her in this case is 60%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

$P_1 = 20\% * 60\% = 12\%$

If he bumps into her (80% chance), the probability of asking her is 90%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

$P_2 = 80\% * 90\% = 72\%$

To find the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party, we just have to sum the probabilities we found above:

$P = P_1 + P_2$

$P = 12\% + 72\% = 84\%$

Answer:

We don't have the statements but I can tell you the following info:

Step-by-step explanation:

83.4/60= $1.39 for each horn

18*1.39= $25.02 for the 18 additional horns.

$83.40+25.02= $108.42 for the total 78 horns

A football filters that is 60 m wide and 110 m long is being paved over to make a parking lot. The builder ordered 660,000,000 c

ad-work [718]

The answer is 10 cm

Imagine cement cover as a rectangle which volume is 660,000,000 cm3. So this rectangle has width (w = 60m), length (l = 110m), and height (h = ?). The height of the rectangle is actually a thickness of the cement layer. So, we will use the formula for the volume (V) of the rectangle to calculate the thickness:
V = w · l · h

It is given:
V = 660,000,000 cm³
w = 60 m = 60 · 100 cm = 6,000 cm
l = 110 m = 110 · 100 cm = 11,000 cm
h = ?

Using the formula: V = w · l · h
660,000,000 = 6,000 · 11,000 · h
660,000,000 = 66,000,000 · h
⇒ h = 660,000,000 ÷ 66,000,000 = 10 cm

As part of a new advertising campaign, a beverage company wants to increase the dimensions of their cans by a multiple of 1.12.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The new can can hold upto volume of 476.69 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the can = d = 6 cm

Radius of the can = r = 0.5d = 0.5 × 6 cm = 3 cm

Height of the can = h = 12 cm

Company wants to increase the dimensions of their cans by a multiple of 1.12. So, the new dimension will be:

r'= 3 cm × 1.12 = 3.36 cm

h' = 12 cm × 1.12 =13.44 cm

Volume of the = can = V

Volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^2h$

$V=\pi r'^2h'$

$=3.14\times (3.36 cm)^2\times 13.44 cm=476.6808 cm^3\approx 476.68 cm^3$

The new can can hold upto volume of 476.69 cubic centimeters.
