−<span>2.8
</span>Okay so "0.9x-1.3=-3.1" x=-2
<span><span><span>0.9x</span>−1.3</span>=<span>−3.1
</span></span>add 1.3 to both sides
<span><span><span><span>0.9x</span>−1.3</span>+1.3</span>=<span><span>−3.1</span>+1.3
</span></span><span><span>0.9x</span>=<span>−1.8
</span></span>divide both sides by 0.9
<span><span><span>0.9x/</span>0.9</span>=<span><span>−1.8/</span><span>0.9
</span></span></span>x=<span>−2</span>
So if you plug in -2 into "x-0.8" you get −2.8
<span>=<span><span>−2</span>−0.8
</span></span><span>=<span><span>−2-</span><span>0.8
</span></span></span><span>=<span>−2.8
</span></span>Hope this helps.
Answer:
<em>The water is leaking at the rate of 0.0625 gal/min.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rate of change</u>
The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.
The container holds 8 gallons of water and is leaking at a constant rate to be calculated later.
When 48 minutes have passed, the container has 5 gallons of water left. This means it has leaked 8 gallons - 5 gallons = 3 gallons.
Calculating the rate at which it's leaking:

r = 0.0625 gal/min
The water is leaking at the rate of 0.0625 gal/min.
(-2,18):(8,38) Set them equal to each other you get, x^2-6x-16=0, you can factor to get, (x-8)(x+2) to get solutions 8,2 for the x values then plug in for y values.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A 3rd degree polynomial can have a maximum of 3 real roots, but it must have at least 1 real root I believe.
