There are no solutions, because the lines never touch. The answer(s) to a system of equations is/are the points where the two lines meet. Does this make sense?
Two numbers that add up to 2 and multiply to -35
-5 and 7
Rewrite the expression using the above;
<u>(x - 5)(x + 7)</u>
Answer:
a) y = -500x + 130,000
b)67,500 gallons remaining
c) 260 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Since water is being removed at a rate of 500 gallons per hour, the slope would be a negative.
a) y = -500x + 130,000
For<u> part b</u> input 125 for x:
y = -500(125) + 130,000
y = 67,500
There are 67,500 gallons remaining
For part c we are solving for the x intercept
0 = -500x + 130,000
Subtract 130,000 from both sides
-130,000 = -500x
x = 260
It will take 260 hours for the pool to completely drain
The correct answer is 0.5, I hoped this helped! :)
Answer:
5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Y(2)-Y(1)/ X(2)-X(1)
(27-2)/(1-(-9)
25/10
simplified=5/2
