Answer:
318 days or 10.6 months,
No, because the time between august and december is 8 months and it would take 10 to complete the tunnel
Step-by-step explanation:
start by determining the slope:
subtract the remaining distance from the total distance to determine distance so far, then divide by time.
m = (3200 - 1700)/5
m = 1500/5
m = 300
y = mx + b
Plug in to solve for x.
3200 = 300x + 0
3200 = 300x
divide y by m. This is x. (this is known as inverse operation if you didnt know already.)
3200 = 300(10.6_)
Solve the top equation for x and then substitute that into the bottom equation and solve for y:
Top equation: subtract 4 from both sides to get x = y - 4
Substitution and simplify:
y = 4(y - 4) - 10
y = 4y - 16 - 10
y = 4y - 26
-3y = -26
y = 26/3 or 8 1/3 or 8.333 (those are all the same but in different forms)
The newspaper carrier can deliver 147 newspapers in 3 hours
Inside a triangle, all inside angles add up to 180°
So, add the two angles:
26.4°+33.7°=60.1°
180°-60.1°=119.9°
b=119.9°
slope=0
it's a straight horizontal line when you graph it.
