6 times because you find the common denominator which is 8 so 3/4 is 6/8. He needs to fill his cup 6 times.
The increase in price is 140% of the original price.
The original price was 100% of the original price since 100% is a whole quantity.
Now the new price is 140% more than it was, so the new price is
100% + 140% of the old price.
100% + 140% = 240%
Now we find 240% of $50.
To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number.
240% of $50 =
= 240% * $50
= 2.4 * $50
= $120
Answer: 10 ft of gold wire now costs $120
Gold wire now costs $12 per foot.
Answer:
Yes they can all be written in y = mx + b. You just have to move the terms around.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x -3, this is already in slope-intercept form
Now, y - 2 = x + 2: We can add 2 on both sides to cancel out the one on the left side:
y - 2 = x + 2
y - 2 + 2 = x + + 2
y = x + 4 <-- This is in y = mx + b form
Now the last one, 3x = 9 + 3y
We can first divide all terms by 3,
3x = 9 + 3y
/3 /3 /3
x = 3 + y: Then we can subtract 3 from both sides:
x - 3 = 3 + y - 3
x - 3 = y
These are all linear equations because none of the x's have bigger powers than 1. x^2 is a quadratic equation and x^3 is cubic equation.
