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.

if a clock strikes the appropriate number of time on each hour. how many times will it strikes in one day?
Keith_Richards [23]

Strike is the way that the noise made on the hour it’s described. Each hour corresponds to a specific strike, 1 has 1 strike, 2 have 2 strikes, 3 have 3 strikes, and so on.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

1 + 2 +3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 78 strikes for a 12 hours

78 * 2 = 156 (since a day has 24 hours)

So it will strike 156 times per day. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

I need help with this percent problem ASAP
MrRissso [65]
He gave 75 CDs away and that was 6% of his collection.
⇒ 6% = 75

Find 1 %:
6% = 75
1% = 75 ÷ 6 = 12.5

Find 100% (100% being his full collection):
1% = 12.5
100% = 12.5 x 100 = 1250

Answer: He had 1250 CDs before he gave some away.
