Step-by-step explanation:

2.5x + 5 = 65

Subtract 5 from both sides

2.5x = 60

Divide 2.5 from both sides

x = 24 days

You will want this equation to be in y=mx+b, because you already have the slope and y-intercept. X will be the number of days she has had the plant, and Y will be the height of the tree, because it is the variable being affected by the X. The slope, or the M, is 2.5 because this is the number of centimeters the tree grows per day. The y-intercept is 5, because this is the height of the tree originally. So, the equation is Y=2.5X+5. To solve the number of days Margo will have had the plant, plug in 65 (the height of the plant after a certain amount of days) into the Y variable and solve for X. So, 65=2.5X+5. Subtract 5 from both sides to get 60=2.5X, then divide both sides by 2.5 to get X=24. So, she will have owned the plant for 24 days.

The point P = (x, - 2/7) lies on the unit circle shown below. What is the value of x in simplest form?
miskamm [114]

Answer: x = \frac{3\sqrt{5}}{7}\\\\

Explanation:

The equation of the unit circle is x^2+y^2 = 1\\\\

Plug in y = -2/7 and solve for x

x^2+y^2 = 1\\\\x^2+\left(-\frac{2}{7}\right) = 1\\\\x^2+\frac{4}{49} = 1\\\\x^2 = 1-\frac{4}{49}\\\\x^2 = \frac{49}{49}-\frac{4}{49}\\\\x^2 = \frac{45}{49}\\\\x = \sqrt{\frac{45}{49}} \ \ \text{ ... x is positive}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{45}}{\sqrt{49}}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{9*5}}{7}\\\\x = \frac{\sqrt{9}*\sqrt{5}}{7}\\\\x = \frac{3\sqrt{5}}{7}\\\\

AysviL [449]

Answer:

20 students

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to add the number of students all up and you get 200.Then you do cross multiplication.

40/200 x s/100=

40x100= 4000=

200xs= 200s=

200s/200=

4000/200=

20=

- Let y represent the width of a rectangle and let x represent the rectangle's lengu.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Length: 21 cm and Width:  6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the width and x length of the rectangle. We know:

x = 4y -3 -------- eq. 1

54 = 2x + 2y    (Perimeter of the rectangle) ------- eq.  2

Substitute equation 1 in equation 2:

54 = 2(4y-3) + 2y\\54 = 8y - 6 + 2y\\54 + 6 = 8y + 2y\\60 = 10 y\\\\\frac{60}{10}= y\\y = 6

Using the value of y, we find x.

x = 4y - 3\\x = 4(6) -3\\x= 24 - 3\\x = 21
