<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

A box of 50 stickers would cost $13

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>1- getting the equation representing the price:</u>

We have two variables; the number of stickers and the price of the box

We can note that the price is the dependent variable (y) while the number of stickers is the independent one (x)

<u>We are given that:</u>

A box of 15 stickers cost $6..........> first point is (15,6)

A box of 25 stickers cost $8 ........> second point is (25,8)

The general equation of the linear line is:

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

<u>i. getting the slope:</u>

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{8-6}{25-15}=0.2

The equation now became: y = 0.2x + c

<u>ii. getting the y-intercept:</u>

To get the y-intercept, use any of the given points and substitute in the equation we got in part i. I will use the point (15,6)

y = 0.2x + c

6 = 0.2(15) + c

c = 6 - 0.2(15) = 3

<u>The final equation is:</u>

y = 0.2x + 3

where y is the price of the box and x is the number of stickers it contains

<u>2- getting the price of a box with 50 stickers:</u>

To get the price of a box of 50 stickers, simply substitute with x = 50 in the equation we got from part 1

<u>This is done as follows:</u>

y = 0.2(50) + 3 = 13

Therefore, a box of 50 stickers will cost $13

Hope this helps :)

3 A farmer has 580 square bales of hay in his shed with total mass 9850 kg.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

a) 580 - 16n

b) 9850 - 271.72n

Step-by-step explanation:

a) starting number of bales = 580

each day, the farmer feeds out 2 bales of hay to each yard. he has 8 yards, so he feeds out 2 bales 8 times for a total of 2 * 8 = 16 bales. Therefore, he loses 16 bales each day

After the first day, he has 580-16 = 564 bales. After the second, he has 564-16 = 548 bales, and so on. He loses 16 bales n times for n days, and as a result, his final amount of bales is

original amount - amount lost = 580 - 16n

b)

First, we can calculate how much a bale weighs.

average = sum/count = 9850 kg / 580 ≈ 17 kg

Therefore, as he loses 16 bales of hay, he loses 17 kg 16 times, or approximately 271.72 kg of hay every day. For n days, he loses 271.72n kg. This brings his final amount to be

starting - amount lost = 9850 - 271.72n

The heights (in cm) and arm spans (in cm) of 31 students were measured. The association between (height) and (arm span) is shown
sergeinik [125]

Answer: Mike's arm span is 7.165 cm longer than the George's one.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the association between height and arm span is modeled by the equation

y = 4.5 + 0.977*x

where y is height and x is arm span.

Mike is 172 cm tall, so his arm span is:

172cm = 4.5 + 0.977*x

x = (172 - 4.5)/0.977 = 171.443 cm

and George is 165 cm tall, so his arm span is:

x = (165 - 4.5)/0.977 = 164.278 cm

Then the difference between their arm span is:

171.443cm - 164.278cm = 7.165 cm

So Mike's arm span is 7.165 cm longer than the George's one.
