The graph is misleading because it does not start out at 0 inches of rainfall.
To make it accurate, you'd redraw it and start with 0 inches of rainfall and go up from there.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

the answer is 2.883

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when you add 0.523+2.36, the decimal points line up together. Which make it 2.883. The student's mistake was that they didn't line the decimal points together.

PLEASE HELP!! what is the explicit formula for this sequence -7, -4, -1, 2, 5

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The explicit formula for the given expression is $a_n=-10+3n$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

-7, -4, -1, 2, 5

The difference between two consecutive terms is same, therefore the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

The first term of the given AP is -7 and the common difference is

$-4-(-7)=-4+7=3$

The explicit formula for an AP is

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

Where, a is first term, d is common difference and n is number of terms.

Substitute a=-7 and d=3 in the above equation.

$a_n=-7+(n-1)3$

$a_n=-7+3n-3$

$a_n=-10+3n$

Therefore the explicit formula for the given expression is $a_n=-10+3n$ .

2(x -9) = 9 divided ( - 1/3) what value of x makes the equation true plsss help :)))

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

x = -9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide 9 by -1/3:

$\frac{9}{1}$ ÷ $-\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{9}{1}$ · $-\frac{3}{1}$

= -27

2. Divide both sides by 2:

2(x - 9) = -27

$\frac{2(x-9)}{2} = \frac{-27}{2}$

(x - 9) = $-\frac{27}{2}$

3. Add 9 to both sides:

x = $-\frac{9}{2}$

(or 4.5 if you need it in decimal form)

hope this helps!

Elizabeth has $10, $5, and $1 bills worth $101. she has five more five dollar bills than ten dollar bills and 4 times more 1 dol

vesna_86 [32]

Let x be number of $10 dollar bills

Let y be number of $5 dollar bills

Let z be number of $1 dollar bills

From the question, we can come up with three equations (so we can find the values of x, y & z) :

10x + 5y + z = 101
y - x = 5
z = 4x

The first equation comes from finding the total money Elizabeth has, which is $101.

The second equation comes from value of y (number of $5 bills) is more than value of x (number of $10 bills) by 5 dollars.

The third equation comes from the value of z (number of $1 bills) being 4 times more than the value of x (number of $10 bills).

Now, we will begin to find the value of x, y & z.

From the first equation,

10x + 5y + z = 101

Substitute the third equation (z = 4x) into z:

10x + 5y + 4x = 101

Simplify this and you get,

14x + 5y = 101

Now, we use the second equation. The second equation is y - x = 5. If we try to make y as the subject, it becomes y = 5 + x.

Now, substitute this into the value of y of the last working we did:

14x + 5(5+x) = 101

Simplify that and it becomes:

x = 4

Then, substitute this value of x into the second and third equations to find y and z.

y - x = 5

y - 4 = 5

y = 9

z = 4x

z = 4(4)

z = 16

Finally, let's check these answers by substituting them into the first equation to try and see if the total value is really $101.

10x + 5y + z = 10(4) + 5(9) + 16

10x + 5y + z = 40 + 45 + 16

10x + 5y + z = 101

Thus, our answers are correct. Elizabeth has FOUR $10 bills, NINE $5 bills and SIXTEEN $1 bills.
