Choice D : look at where you think the line would be if it followed the direction of the data so that about half of the points fell above the line and half below. The two most important things to note are the slope of the line and y intercept.
This is a negative relationship as the line falls as you read it from left to right. That eliminates choice C. Next, it appears the line of best fit would have a y intercept around 10 on the y axis and then fall down and to the right cutting the data. Note that choices A and B have y intercepts that don't make sense for the data. Choice D does have a y intercept of 10 and a negative slope.
Let Sara weight =x+25
amber wiegh =x
x+25+x=205
x= 90
Sara weight is 90+25= 115
Answer:
42 gallons 45% antifreeze
28 gallons 95% antifreeze
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is volume of 45% antifreeze, and y is volume of 95% antifreeze, then the total volume is:
x + y = 70
And the total amount of antifreeze is:
0.45 x + 0.95 y = 0.65 (70)
Solving by substitution:
0.45 x + 0.95 (70 − x) = 0.65 (70)
0.45 x + 66.5 − 0.95 x = 45.5
21 = 0.5 x
x = 42
y = 28
Answer:
v = 66/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-7v + 3 = -63
Step 2: Solve for <em>v</em>
<u>Subtract 3 on both sides:</u> -7v = -66
<u>Divide both sides by -7:</u> v = 66/7
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify if it's a solution.</em>
-7(66/7) + 3 = -63
-66 + 3 = -63
-63 = -63
A x b = 24
Possible values of a and b are:
1 x 24 = 24
2 x 12 = 24
3 x 8 =24
4 x 6 = 24
The possible sums of a and b are:
1 + 24 = 25
2 + 12 = 14
3 + 8 = 11
4 + 6 = 10
Therefore, the least possible sum of a and b is 10.
