Answer:

The addition property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the addition property of equality, if we add the same number to each side of an equation, the equality is still true.

We are given the equation

x – 3 = 7, and we must solve for x.

We want to get x by itself, so we <em>add 3 to each side</em>.

x – 3 + 3 = 7 + 3

x = 10

We have just used the addition property of equality.

Slope-rate of change- “if there were 12,000 in the Atlantic Ocean in 1950 and there are 3,600 dolphins today, what is the yearly

jasenka [17]

$\bf \begin{array}{|cc|ll} \cline{1-2} \stackrel{x}{year}&\stackrel{y}{dolphins}\\ \cline{1-2} &\\ 1950&12000\\ 2018&3600 \\&\\ \cline{1-2} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}(\stackrel{x_1}{1950}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{12000})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2018}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3600}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3600-12000}{2018-1950}\implies \cfrac{-8400}{68}~~\approx~~ \stackrel{\textit{rate of change}}{-123.53}$

-8400/68 simplifies to to -2100/17, dolphins/year, so 2100 less dolphins every 17 years.

and we can just divide those to get the decimal amount of -123.53, which means, 123.53 less dolphins every year.

of course, there's no such a thing as 0.53 of a dolphin, so, we can say "about" 123 less dolphins per year.

PLEASE HELP ASAP! A mountain climber is at an altitude of 2.9 mi above the earth’s surface.

shutvik [7]

You can use Pythagorean theorm to solve.

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
C = 3959 + 2.9 = 3961.9

x = ???? = a
b = 3959
Plugin our data.
$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
$a^2 + 3959^2 = 3961.9^2$
$a^2 + 15673681 = 15696651.61$
$a^2 = 22970.61$
$\sqrt{a^2} = sqrt{22970.61}$
$a = 151.560$
$x = 151.560$
$x = 151.6$
