On MOnday the escalator was not working. It took Tom 18 seconds to reach the top, climbing two steps each second. By Tuesday the

escalator had been repaired and Tom took only 12 seconds to reach the top climbing at the same rate. On Wednesday Tom decided to ride the escalator without climbing at all. How long did it take to reach the top this time?

*There are 36 steps on the elevator as it took Tom 18 seconds to reach the top of the elevator (when it wasn't working), taking 2 steps per second.(2*18=36).

*When the elevator was fixed Tom moved through it taking 2 steps per second and managed to reach its top in 12 seconds. This means that he had covered 3 steps in the space of a second while he was moving up the elevator (fixed). (36/12=3).

<em>*Knowing this information, we can come to terms with the fact that the elevator can move Tom 1 step upwards per second if he doesn't make any effort to move up the elevator while its working. As there are 36 steps on the elevator, on Wednesday it took Tom 36 seconds to reach its top.</em>

What is y+2=⅞(x-3) in standard form?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

7x - 8y = 37

Explanation:

y+2 = ⅞(x-3) (distribute ⅞ -- x times 7/8, -3 times 7/8)

y+2 = ⅞x - 21/8 (subtract ⅞x from both sides)

y+2-⅞x = -21/8 (subtract 2 from both sides)

y-⅞x = -37/8 <--- result of -21/8 - 2

Multiply both sides by 8 to get ride of fractions

8y - 7x = -37 (rearrange)

-7x + 8y = -37

It's better to have a positive coefficient for x if you can.  So multiply both sides by -1.  That just means changing the sign of every term on both sides, you get

7x - 8y = 37

Funcion. que a cada numero le asocia su mitad​
expeople1 [14]

La función que a cada número le asocia su mitad es: f(x)= x/2

Explicación:

La mitad de una cantidad consiste en dividir el total en dos partes iguales, por lo tanto, la función debe representar una división entre el total y 2. Sea x el total, la función sería:

f(x)= x/2

Ejemplos:

La mitad de 20: f(20)= 20/2 = 10

La mitad de 8: f(8)= 8/2 = 4

La mitad de 100: f(100)= 100/2 = 50

La mitad de 2354: f(2354)= 2354/2 =1177

Mr. and Mrs. McClurrie are debating on whether or not to remove a tall tree in their front yard. Mr. McClurrie is concerned that

Tanα=y/x

y=xtanα, we are told that x=25ft and α=30°

y=25tan30° ft

y≈14.43 ft  (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

Since their home is 20 feet from the base of the tree, it poses no risk right now.
