6x - 3.5 = -15.5
Add 3.5 to both sides
6x = -12
Divide by 6
x = -2
Carly has the correct response
Answer:0.625 or 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 0.265x - 494.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let median age be represent by 'a' and time be represent by 't'
In 1980, median age is given 30
which means that
a₁ = 30
t₁ = 1980
In 2000, the median age is given 35.3
which means that.
a₂ = 35.3
t₂ = 2000
The slope 'm' of the linear equation can be found by:
m = (a₂ - a₁) /(t₂ - t₁)
m = (35.3 - 30)/(2000-1980)
m = 0.265
General form of linear equation is given by:
y = mx + c
y = 0.265x +c
Substitute point (1980,30) in the equation.
30 = 0.265(1980) + c
c = -494.7
Hence the the linear equation can be written as:
y = mx + c
y = 0.265x - 494.7
Well 0.65 as a percentage is 65% which is 65/100. So in the simplest for it would be the highest number going into both which would be 5 and then divide both numbers by 5.
65/5=13
100/5=20
So the answer for this question would be 13/20
