Answer:
It will take 13.5 minutes for the liquid to reach - 10.8°C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial temperature of the experiment is 0°C and as the experiment goes on, the temperature of the liquid is changing at a rate of - 0.8°C per minute.
So, the equation that models the situation is
T = 0 - 0.8t
⇒ T = - 0.8t ................. (1)
Where T is the temperature of the liquid in °C and t is the time of spending after the experiment starts in minutes.
Now, given T = - 10.8°C and we have to find the corresponding time (t) in minutes.
So, from equation (1) we get,
- 10.8 = - 0.8t
⇒ t = 13.5 minutes
Therefore, it will take 13.5 minutes for the liquid to reach - 10.8°C. (Answer)
Output = P(200)
Input value = 200
First, distribute the 2 on the right side of the equation so you get 4a-26. Then add 26 to both sides so you have 7a+21 =4a. Subtract 7a and get 21 = -3a. Divide by -3 and your final answer is -7.
