The total length of the rope = 32 ft
It is cut into two sections, say x and y
But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x)
Solving for x

x+y =32
x+7x = 32
8x=32
x=32/8 = 4 ft.
Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.

These tables have infinitely many values, but the simplest ones would be:
a) x|y
    3|5
    6|10
    9|15

b) x|y
    2|1
    4|2
    6|3

Your graph for c would look like the attached picture

This is an exponential equation that can be represented by the following:

f(x) = a(b)^x

In this case...

25143 = a(0.66)^3

25143 is the population after 3 hours.

3 is the amount of time in hours.

0.66 represents the percent of the population remaining after each hour (66% as there is a 34% decline each hour).

We must solve for a, which is the initial population.

First, simplify (0.66)^3 to 0.2874.

25143 = 0.2874a

Now divide both sides by 0.2874 to isolate a.

a = 87455

There were initially 87,455 people within the city. I wouldn't want to be in that place!

      + 6   + 6
       3y = 18
        3      3

If d = m/v, what is the equation when solved for v? **please explain**
inn [45]
V= m/d.  When you get questions asking about density/mass/volume draw a triangle just like in the picture i have attached and with your finger cover up the one you are looking for. So to find the equation for volume you cover up volume and you are left with mass divided by density.
