The figure shows the elliptical orbit of Mercury, whose minimum distance to the Sun is 29 million miles and whose maximum distan

ce to the Sun is 43 million miles. According to Kepler's laws, the average distance of a planet to the Sun is equal to half the length of the orbit's major axis. The average distance of Mercury to the Sun is _____ million miles. (Enter only the number.)

The minimum distance between Mercury and the sun is 29 million miles.
The maximum distance between Mercury and the sun is 43 million miles.
Therefore, the length of the orbit's major axis is
29 + 43 = 72 million miles
and the average distance is
72/2 = 36 million miles

What is the answer to this algebra 1 answer : 6> 4-2×<4
Artist 52 [7]
6>4-2x<4

so therefor (4x-2) must be less than 6 and less than 4
it must be
6>4-2x and 4<4-2x
find the intersection

6>4-2x
add 2x to both sides
6+2x>4
subtract 6
2x>-2
divide by 2
x>-1



4>4-2x
add 2x
4+2x>4
subtract 4
2x>0
x>0




so we have
x>0
and x>-1
the range of x>-1 includes most of x>0 so the answer is
x>-1

(5,1); m=2 write an equation of the line
gtnhenbr [62]
Hey there! :) 

To find an equation of a line that passes through (5, 1) and has a slope of 2, we'll need to plug our known variables into the slope-intercept equation.

Slope-intercept equation : y = mx + b ; where m=slope, b=y-intercept

Since we're already given the slope, all we really need to do is find the y-intercept.

We can do this by plugging our known values into the slope-intercept equation.

y = mx + b

Since we're trying to find "b," we need to plug in "y, m, x" into our formula.

(1) = (2)(5) + b

Simplify.

1 = 10 + b

Subtract 10 from both sides.

1 - 10 = b

Simplify.

-9 = b

So, our y-intercept is 9! 

Now, we can very simply plug our known values into slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

y = 2x - 9 → final answer

Please answer this question!I don’t understand it-Question number 2
Tasya [4]

Answer: The greatest depth of the Southern Ocean is 7.24

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if you add all the greatest depths up, you get 33.23

(33.23 + x)/5 = 8.094

Multiply each side by 5

33.23 + x = 40.47

Subtract 33.23 from each side

x = 7.24

You can check this by adding all the numbers up and dividing them by 5

40.47/5 = 8.094

Find the measure of each side indicated. Round to the nearest tenth.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

D. 25.3

Step-by-step explanation:

tan∅ = opposite over adjacent

Step 1: Write equation

tan66.5° = x/11

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 11

11tan66.5° = x

Step 3: Evaluate

x = 25.2983

x ≈ 25.3
