We will assume that we have a function relating between the time and the temperature. Any point in this function can be expressed as (x,y) where x is the time and y is the temperature (any point is expressed as (time, temperature)).

We have two points given:
<span>At 7 p.m. the temperature is 72 degrees F: First point is (7,72)
</span><span>At 10 p.m. the temperature is 52 degrees F: Second point is (10,52)

The rate of change is simply the slope of this function, this slope can be calculated as:
rate of change = (y2-y1) / (x2-x2)
we have y2= 52, y1= 72, x2= 10 and x1= 7

Substituting in the equation, we can calculate the rate of change as follows:
rate of change = (52-72) / (10-7) = -6.667 degrees/hours
Note: The negative sign indicated a DECREASE in the temperature.</span>

What is the quotient a-3/7÷3-a/21
Airida [17]
I wish you were using parentheses here.  I must assume (without knowing for sure) that y ou mean

a - 3/7
----------
3 - a/21

The LCD here is 21, since 7 divides into 21 without a remainder. 

Thus, multiply numerator and denominator by 21:


21a - 9
-----------
63 - a

You could leave this result as is, or you could factor out 3:
    
     7a-3
3 ---------
    63-a

Hanson is at a ball game with his family. he goes to the concession stand to buy soft pretzels and water bottles for everyone. a
guajiro [1.7K]

The system of equation that can be used to represent the situation is as follows:

  • x + y = 16
  • 2x + 3.5y = 47

The number of water bottle bought = 6

The number of pretzel bought = 10

Let

x = number of water bottle bought

y = number of pretzel bought

Hanson buys 16 items. Therefore,

  • x + y = 16

Hanson spends a total of $47. Therefore,

  • 2x + 3.5y = 47

<h3>Combined System of equation:</h3>
  • x + y = 16
  • 2x + 3.5y = 47

Therefore, let multiply equation(i) by 2

2x + 2y = 32

2x + 3.5y = 47

1.5y = 15

y = 15 / 1.5

y = 10

x + 10 = 16

x = 6
