if we solve for y in the 2nd, we get y=-x/3+4/3, has fractions so no


answer is C
Well, it says to avoid fractions. So I did the math: 

Solving for x in the first equation get you: [tex]x= \frac{7}{2}-3y [/tex]

Solving for y in the first equation gets you:[tex]y= \frac{7}{6} - \frac{2}{6}x [/tex]

Solving for x in the second equation gets you: [tex]x=4-3y[/tex]

Solving for y in the second equation gets you:[tex]y= \frac{24}{18} - \frac{6}{18}x [/tex]

If you look you can see the only option that does not give you fractions is if you solve for x in the second equation. So your answer is c! I hope this helps! =)

Suppose a number from 1 to 100 is selected at random. what is the probability that a multiple of 4 or 5 is chosen?

Answers

the range 1-100 is 100 numbers, divide by 4 and 5 to find the number of multiples.
100/4 = 25
100/5 = 20

probability of choosing multiple of 4
25/100 = 1/4
probability of choosing multiple of 5
20/100 = 1/5

the probabilities are not mutually exclusive because there are duplicate numbers, (overlap) multiples of both 4 and 5 being counted twice. 5/100 = 1/20
20, 40, 60, 80, 100

when "or" is used, add the probabilities, subtract the duplicates.

1/4 + 15 - 1/20 =
5/20 + 4/20 - 1/20 = 8/20 = 2/5

The probability that a multiple of 4 or 5 is chosen is 2/5.

The range 1-100 is 100 numbers, divide by 4 and 5 to find the number of multiples.

100/4 = 25

100/5 = 20

The probability of choosing a multiple of 4

25/100 = 1/4

The probability of choosing a multiple of 5

20/100 = 1/5

The probabilities are not mutually exclusive because there are duplicate numbers, (overlap) multiples of both 4 and 5 being counted twice.

5/100 = 1/20

20, 40, 60, 80, 100

When or is used, add the probabilities, and subtract the duplicates.

1/4 + 15 - 1/20

=5/20 + 4/20 - 1/20

= 8/20

= 2/5

The probability that a multiple of 4 or 5 is chosen is 2/5.

Determine the slope of a line perpendicular to the line with equation 6x-4y= 30

Answers

6x - 4y = 30
-4y = -6x + 30
y = 3/2x - 15/2....slope here is 3/2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the slope and change the sign. So ur perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/3 (see how I flipped 3/2 making it 2/3...and then changed the sign, making it -2/3)

answer : perpendicular line will have a slope of -2/3.
Start by putting it in slope intercept form.
6x - 4y = 30
6x - 30 = 4y
(6/4)x - 30/4 = y

A used car dealership buys a car for $2800 and then sells it for $4500 what is the percent increase?

Answers

Alright, so we have the difference = 4500-2800=1700. To find the percent increase, we do 1700/2800=around 0.61 = around 61% percent

The percentage is the indicating hundredth of any change in quantity thus the percentage increase of cars from $2800 to $4500 is 60.72%.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as a given amount in every hundred. It is a fraction with 100 as the denominator percentage is represented by the one symbol %.

As per the given question,

Buying cost of car = $2800

Selling cost of car = $4500

Percentage change = (change/original)  × 100

Percentage change = [(4500 - 2800)/(2800)] × 100

Percentage change = [(1700)/2800] × 100

Percentage change = 0.607 × 100

⇒ 60.72%

Hence "The percentage is the indicating hundredth of any change in quantity thus the percentage increase of cars from $2800 to $4500 is 60.72%".

Two angles of a triangle have the same measure and the third one is 39 degrees greater than the measure of each of the other two. find the measure of the largest angle in the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, all the angles of a triangle have to add up to equal 180.  If two of the angles are the same, then we will call them x.  The third one is 39 more than the measure of each of the other angles, so the third angle measures x + 39.  In equation form,

x + x + x + 39 = 180 and

3x + 39 = 180 and

3x = 141 so

x = 47

That means that the largest angle measures 47 + 39 which is 86

Jon places a dot on a coordinate plane at (-10, -4). He wants to place another dot across the y axis, and it must be 14 points away. Where will Jon place the other dot?

Answers

At (4,-4). Because, the first value is the horizontal x-coordinate and the second is the vertical y-coordinate, so the direction of going across the y-axis is a horizontal movement. Therefore, you must add 14 to the x-coordinate. You add because positive is the opposite direction of the your first x-coordinate, -10. So the answer is (4,-4).

The coordinates of the other dot across the y-axis will be located at (4,-4).

What is a graph?

A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.

Vertical shifting of a graph is done by adding any arbitrary constant to the function in shifting.

For example, If shift up by 1 unit,  add 1 to the function

If shift down by 4 units, subtract 4 from the function

Since the first value corresponds to the horizontal x-coordinate and the second to the vertical y-coordinate, moving horizontally across the y-axis is the result. As a result, you need to multiply the x-coordinate by 14. Since the direction of your first x-coordinate, -10, is positive, you must add. the solution is (4,-4).

Thus, the coordinates of another dot across the y-axis will be located at (4,-4).

The north american and european continents are moving apart at a rate of about 3 cm/y. at this rate how long will it take them to drift 500 km farther apart than they are at present?

Answers

In this case, the continents are moving apart at a rate (velocity = 3 cm/y) and the distance for continent to move(distance= 500km). You are asked how long it will take(time). Then to answer this question you need to convert the 500km into the same unit as the velocity which was cm. The formula would be:

Distance = velocity x time
500km x 10^5 cm/km= 3cm/year x time
time= 5x 10^7 cm / (3cm/year)
time= 1.7 x 10^7 year or 17 million year
Final answer:

The North American and European continents will take approximately 166,667 years to drift 500 km farther apart than they are at present.

Explanation:

The North American and European continents are moving apart at a rate of about 3 cm/y. To determine how long it will take for them to drift 500 km farther apart than they are at present, we can use the formula:



Time = Distance / Rate



First, we need to convert the distance from kilometers to centimeters. There are 100,000 centimeters in 1 kilometer, so 500 km is equal to 500,000 cm.



Using the formula, the time it will take is:



Time = 500,000 cm / 3 cm/y



Calculating this, we find that it will take approximately 166,667 years for the continents to drift 500 km farther apart than they are at present.

Jamir spent $15 on Halloween candy. If each bag of candy costs $2.50, how many bags of candy did he buy?

Answers

Final answer:

To find out how many bags of candy Jamir bought with $15, divide the total spent by the cost per bag, which is $2.50. This calculation is similar to finding total spend on fruits by multiplying the quantity by price per unit. Jamir was able to buy 6 bags of candy.

Explanation:

To answer the question of how many bags of candy Jamir bought, we need to perform a basic division operation.

The total amount Jamir spent on Halloween candy is $15, and he purchased each bag for $2.50.

Therefore, to find the total number of bags of candy that Jamir bought, we divide the total amount spent by the cost per bag.

Drawing a comparison to similar calculations, if we look at other examples such as spending on fruits, we can see a consistent method of calculation:

10 apples at 50 cents each results in $5.00 spent on apples.

12 bananas at 20 cents each gives us a total of $2.40 spent on bananas.

Similarly, 2 bunches of grapes at 65 cents per bunch would equal a spend of $1.30.

Lastly, if we purchase 1 pint of raspberries at $2 each, we spend $2.00 on raspberries.

The same concept applies to Jamir's Halloween candy purchase. By dividing $15 by $2.50, we get the number of bags he was able to buy, which is 6 bags of candy.

Therefore, Jamir bought 6 bags of Halloween candy with his $15.

Final answer:

Jamir was able to buy 6 bags of Halloween candy for $15, given each bag's price of $2.50.

Explanation:

Jamir spent $15 on Halloween candy, with each bag costing $2.50. To find out how many bags of candy Jamir could buy, we divide the total amount spent by the cost per bag of candy.

The calculation would be as follows:

Divide the total amount spent, $15, by the cost per bag, $2.50.

$15 ÷ $2.50 = 6.

Therefore, Jamir bought 6 bags of Halloween candy.
