3 boys + 8 girls = 11 students
3 boys/ 11 students = x boys /33 students
using cross products
3 * 33 = x*11
divide by 11
99/11 = x
x=9
There are 9 boys
As we could "drag" these together, we could then do it the easy way.
56

Or we could also do the following:

3= 18.
Carry the one.

3 = 15+1 (which was carried). = 16
(16+8) =
168
Answer:
y = -3x
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Slope
y = mx + b
Choose points (-3, 9) and (3, -9)
m = (-9 - 9)/(3 – (-3))
m = -18/(3 + 3)
m = -18/6
m = -3
=====
(b) y-intercept
y = mx +b
Choose point (0,0).
0 = 0 + b
b = 0
=====
(c) Equation of line
y = mx + b
y = -3x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We do not consider zero to be a positive or negative number. For each positive integer, there is a negative integer, and these integers are called opposites. For example, -3 is the opposite of 3, -21 is the opposite of 21, and 8 is the opposite of -8. ... If an integer is less than zero, we say that its sign is negative
