Step-by-step explanation:
This is a linear equation in slope intercept form which is

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The equation

Has a slope of -1/3 so this means that the slope will be decreasing. A negative linear equation increases as we go left. and decreases as we go right. The y intercept is 2. So this means the graph must pass through (0,2) and when x=0, y must be 2.
In other words, look for a line that the y values increase as we go left and decrease we go right. Also look for a point (0,2) and make sure the graph pass through it.
Answer:
be the second player, and always leave a multiple of 3 balloons
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to win, a player must force the other player to leave one or two balloons. To do that, the winning player must leave one more balloon than the maximum number that can be popped. That is, the winner will be the player who leaves 3 balloons,
Working backward, we find that the winner must leave a multiple of 3 after each turn. Since the starting number is a multiple of 3, the first player must lose if the second player plays optimally.
The winning strategy is ...
- be the second player
- always leave a multiple of 3 balloons.
14 = 31.7 - 3x
-17.7 = -3x
x = 5.9
Answer:
The distance of the playground is 540m
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the length of the playground given the information in the question.
Where to attack the question from is the segment that states that he took a break after 480m and also had 2 breaks. Thus, the distance traveled would be 480 * 2 = 960 m
Now, to find the length of the track, we add the distance covered plus the distance uncovered. Mathematically that would be 960m + 120m = 1,080m
In the last part of the question, we are told that the track is twice as long as the playground. This means that the length of the playground or the distance of the playground is 1080/2 = 540 m
