Answer:
12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Blank 1: 3
Blank 2: 27
Blank 3: 21
you have to distribute the three to everything inside the parenthesis, and because it's directly in front of the parenthesis it's being multiplied.
3(x - 9) = 3x - 27
Now you need to isolate the y, in this e ample you need to add 6 to both sides
the final equation should be:
y = 3x - 21
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The straight line equation is:
y = m*x + b Where m is the slope of the line and b the intercept with y-axis, in our case y is the depth of the tank and x (time in lapsus of 3 hours).
The slope m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁)
We have point A ( 3 , 8 ) and point B ( 6 , 7 )
m = ( 6 - 3 ) / (7 - 8 ) m = -3
We see that each 3 hours time-depth decreases 1 in.
Then to find the depth at the beginning of x-axis
At noon 12 tank was 9 inches, three hours before at 9 in the morning the depth was 10 inches and:
9 in the morning 10
6 in the morning 11
3 in the midnight 12
12 in the night 13
Then 13 is the intercept with y-axis
then the equation is:
h = - 3*x + 13
Note x is time in lapsus of 3 hours
Set up a ratio:
240/180 = X/36
Cross multiply:
240 * 36 = 180x
8640 = 180x
Divide both sides by 180:
X = 8640 / 180 = 48
The person would weigh 48 pounds.
