Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What we have is a general equation that says this in words:
Laura's hours + Doug's hours = 250 total hours
Since we don't know either person's number of hours, AND since we can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, we need to write Laura's hours in terms of Doug's, or Doug's hours in terms of Laura's. We are told that Doug spent Laura's hours plus another 40 in the lab, so let's call Laura's hours "x". That makes Doug's hours "x + 40". Now we can write our general equation in terms of x:
x + x + 40 = 250 and
2x = 210 so
x = 105
Since Laura is x, she worked 105 hours in the lab and Doug worked 40 hours beyond what Laura worked. Doug worked 145. As long as those 2 numbers add up to 250, we did the job correctly. 105 + 145 = 250? I believe it does!!

y=13-2x^2
y=x+7
2=y + x^5
Answer: 3.496
Explanation: You find the mean, which is 57.714. Next, you subtract the mean from each number in the dataset, |55 - 57.714|, |59 - 57.714|, etc. You then add all of those numbers together and divide them by the amount of numbers like you would determining the mean. This gives you 3.496. Also sorry for taking so long to respond I’m on my phone and cannot type as fast as I would on pc.
Answer:
y = -2x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. We are told that the slope of the line is -2, so we can start with
y = mx + b
y = -2x + b
We can figure out the value of b by plugging in the coordinates of the point given (-2, 0)
0 = -2(-2) + b
0 = 4 + b
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
-4 = b
Then plug that value of b back into the equation above:
y = -2x + (-4) or y = -2x -4
