Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-3y+2

-4x-12y=-8

----------------

-4(-3y+2)-12y=-8

12y-8-12y=-8

-8=-8

infinitely many solutions

Can someone please help meeeee :((<br>what's the rule?

Elena L [17]

I think the rule has something to do with adding. I noticed that when the input was at 0 the output was 20, When the input was 15 the output was 5, when the input was 8 the output was 12, and so on. I think the rule is, no matter what number is in the input or the output, it must equal 20.
Hope This Helps!

A swimming pool is being drained so it can be cleaned. The amount of water in the pool is changing according to the función f(t)

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function $f(t)$ , $t$ is the independent variable. The domain of $f$ is the set of all values of $t$ that this function can accept.

In this case, $f(t)$ is defined in a real-life context. Hence, consider the real-life constraints on the two variables. Both time and volume should be non-negative. In other words,

$t \ge 0$ .
$f(t) \ge 0$ .

The first condition is an inequality about $t$ , which is indeed the independent variable.

However, the second condition is about $f$ , the dependent variable of this function. It has to be rewritten as a condition about $t$ .

$\begin{aligned} f(t) &\ge 0 &&\text{Assumption} \cr 80000 - 16000\, t& \ge 0 && \text{Definition of} ~ f \cr 80000 & \ge 16000\, t && \begin{aligned}&\text{Add $16000\, t$} \\[-0.5em] & \text{to both sides of the inequality}\end{aligned} \cr 5 &\ge t &&\begin{aligned}&\text{Divide both sides of} \\[-0.5em] & \text{the inequality by $16000$}\end{aligned} \cr t &\le 5 && \text{Flip the inequality}\end{aligned}$ .
