Answer:
From given, we have,
Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height.
Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height.
Let the height of Theresa be "x" inches.
So, we get,
For Paul, 1 1/2 x - 16 = T
⇒ 3/2 x - 16 = T ......(1)
For Steve, 1 1/3 x - 6 = T
⇒ 4/3 x - 6 = T .........(2)
equating equations (1) and (2), we get,
3/2 x - 16 = 4/3 x - 6
6 - 16 = 4/3 x - 3/2 x
-10 = (8 - 9)/6 x
-60 = -x
x = 60 inches.
Therefore, Theresa is 60 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
the rate of change is officially
(f(x2) - f(x1)) / (x2 - x1)
but for a line function (as we have here) this is totally easy : it is the slope of the line.
and that means it is the factor of x.
in our case this is -3/2.
because the slope of a line is the ratio "y coordinate change / x coordinate change". and that is exactly corresponding to the general rate of change definition above.
Answer:
Its the bottom-right one
Step-by-step explanation:
Have a good day
<span><span>x = x^2 - 30
or
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
Factors to
(x-6)(x+5) = 0
x = +6 is the positive number</span></span>
