11
Step-by-step explanation:
PC=QC=RC
3x+7=51-x
3x+x=51-7
4 x=44
x=11
The answer is y= -6
my apologies if it’s wrong
Answer:
10.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
By similar triangles:
IJ / 21 = 8 /(8+8) = 1/2
IJ / 21 = 1/2
IJ = 1/2 * 21
= 10.5.
This is a linear function, of the kind y = mx + b
where x is the number of visit, b is the weight when x = 0, and m is the predicted change of weight for every visit.
m = - 4 ounces / visit, which must be converted to pounds (the negative sign indicates that the change is a decrease)
1 lb = 16 ounces = 4 ounces = 0.25 lb
Then m = - 0.25 lb / visit.
Now, for x = 1, y = 126 => 126 = - 0.25(1) + b => b = 126 + 0.25 = 126.25
Then the function is y = 126.25 - 0.25x
Now round to the nearest tenth:
y = 126.3 - 0.3x
Answer: y = 126.3 - 0.3x
