A)
well, we know the elevator's rate is -20 f/s, ok, so every second, is dropping 20 feet, therefore, "y" is "distance from the ground floor", so when y = 0, meaning the distance to the ground floor is 0, so you ARE at the ground floor then.
and "x" is how many seconds you've been in the elevator.
now, she got in the elevator for 6 seconds, so, the elevator went down by 20 * 6, or 120 feet down, reason why the slope is negative, when she stopped, she was 350 feet away from the ground floor still though.
if the elevator went down 120 feet, and she's still 350 feet from the ground floor, that means she boarded the elevator at 120 + 350 feet, or 470 feet.

Answer:
The wrt=itten expressions are too difficult to interpret properly. I did my best but I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to <u>-3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
"Negative 3 x minus one-half 4 y"
-3x- (1/2)4y
<u>or -3x - 2y</u>
<u>=====</u>
The answer options are too garbled for me to make sense of them. Are they:
1. 2 y minus 5 x minus one-half 2 y : 2y -5x - (1/2)2y; <u>y -5x</u> ?
2. 2 x Negative 2 x minus one-half 6 y : 2(-2x)- (1/2)6y; <u>-4x - 3y</u> ?
3. 3 x Negative 3 x minus three-fourths 4 y : 3x(-3x) - (3/4)4y; <u>-9x -3y</u> ?
4. one-fourth Negative 3 y minus three-fourths 7 y one-fourth minus 3 x:
(1/4)(-3y) - (3/4)7y - (1/4)(-3x); -(3/4)y -(21/4)y + (3/4)x; -(24/4)y + (3/4)x; ?
I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to <u>-3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.</u>
Answer:
0.85
Step-by-step explanation:
total samples cases = 20
chances that are even or odd prime are 17 chances
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20
probability = 17/20
= 0.85
