Hannah and Corrine are playing a game by rolling two cubes, each numbered 1 through 6. If the sum of the numbers on the cubes is

7, Hannah wins. If the sum is not 7, Corrine wins.
Corrine says Hannah can win only if the following occurs:

1 on the first cube, 6 on the second cube
2 on the first cube, 5 on the second cube
3 on the first cube, 4 on the second cube

Which best explains if Corrine is correct?
C)Corrine is correct because there are only three ways to have a sum of 7 when the cubes are rolled.
D) Corrine is correct because there are no 7s on the cubes, so Hannah must roll a greater number on the second cube.
B) Corrine is not correct because Hannah can also roll doubles on the cubes, such as 3 on the first cube and 3 on the second cube or 4 on the first cube and 4 on the second cube.
A) Corrine is not correct because Hannah also wins if 6 is on the first cube and 1 is on the second, if 5 is on the first cube and 2 is on the second, and if 4 is on the first cube and 3 is on the second.

A student writes the equation for a line that has a slope of -6 and passes through the point (2, –8). y -(-8) = -6(x - 2) y -(-8

Zina [12379]

The equation Y - (-8) = -6 (x-2) is accurate, but the rest are not.
This simplifies to y + 8 = -6x + 12.
Then, applying the subtraction of 8 yields y = -6x + 4, which is the correct slope-intercept form.

The city planning committee wants one tree planted every 20 ft along Dayton Ave. if the perimeter of the plot of land is 234 ft

lawyer [12517]

Answer: It’s two trees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the city plants a tree every 20 feet along Dayton Avenue, we first need to establish the length of the side that faces Dayton Avenue.

We currently have three sides unaccounted for. However, it’s crucial to note that the side next to Dayton Avenue has the same length as the two unaccounted sides combined. This equivalence holds because both lengths include the 1 feather and 2 feather markers, confirming congruence.

Thus, the sum of both side lengths will be $234-52-68=114$ .

Consequently, the side next to Dayton Avenue measures

$114\div2=57$ feet.

Having determined that this side is 57 feet long, we divide this length by 20 to find the tree planting intervals. Since the planting occurs only in complete 20-foot segments, if the division results in a decimal, we must round down. A tree is only planted if complete segments of 20 feet are reached.

$57\div20=2.85$

This rounding process gives us 2.

I hope this clarifies!
