Jordana wrote the equation for a linear relationship as y = -8x-4. For what value of x is y equal to -16

1 answer:

7 0

So our two equations are y=-8x-4 and y=-16, and since in both equations, something equals the same y, those two are the same. So we can combine the two into -16=-8x-4. In the question, they are asking to solve for x. So to do that, you need to isolate your variable. Now for solving algebraic equations, you use reverse PEMDAS (SADMEP), meaning you add 4 to both sides to clear the -4 one the rights side to get -12=-8x. Then you divide both sides by -8 to get 12/8, which simplifies to 3/2.

Researchers randomly surveyed people at two amusement parks, Funland and Thrillville, to find out how many times they visit the

STALIN [3.7K]

On average, people visit Thrillville 2 more times per year than Funland.

<h3><u>Averages</u></h3>

To determine how many more times per year, on average, do people visit Thrillville than Funland, the following calculation must be performed:

Funland: 4,1,2,1,5,6,3,2,4,3,2,6,1,3,2 = 45
45 / 15 = 3
Thrillville: 8,6,5,7,2,5,4,2,1,9,3,8,3,7,5,2,9,4,2,8 = 100
100 / 20 = 5
5 - 3 = 2

Therefore, on average, people visit Thrillville 2 more times per year than Funland.

The area of a circle is less than 1 dm². Find the radius of the circle. The area of a circle is less than 1 dm². Find the rad

Ipatiy [6.2K]

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2\qquad 
\begin{cases}
\textit{let's say the Area is 1 exactly}\\
A=1
\end{cases}\implies 1=\pi r^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{\pi }}=r$

if you drop the radius to less than that, then the Area will also drop to less than 1 unit, in this case it happens to be a decimeter

What fraction of a day is 14 hours

Naily [24]

In a day there are 24 hours (obviously)...
so then you put 14/24 then you simplify this fraction to the lowest term....
divide both numbers by 2 which is 7/12...
i hope this helped :)
