Explanation:
_______________
Price starts at: $7.37.
__________________
The first month, it increases by $0.50, so we add $0.50 to that starting value:
__________________
$ 7.37
+ 0.50
___________
$ 7.80
_____________
The second month, it decreases by $0.38, so we subtract $0.38 from our last obtained value:
___________________
$ 7.80
- 0.38
___________
$ 7.42
______________
During the third month, it increases by $0.32, so we add $0.32 to our last obtained value:
______________
$ 7.42
+ 0.32
___________
$ 7.74
______________
During the fourth month, it decreases by $0.12, so we subtract $0.12 from our last obtained value:
________________________
$ 7.74
- 0.12
___________
$ 7.62; which is our answer.
_____________
How do we know our answer is reasonable?
______________
We start with: $7.37, then plus $0.50, then minus 0.38, then plus 0.32, then minus 0.12.
_______________
The "minus 0.38"and "plus 0.32" do not "cancel out" , but come close to. The "plus 0.50" and "minus 0.12"; in consideration with the above sentence; suggest that the value should be over the starting price of $7.37, but not much more than $8.00; or even less than $8.00.
Our answer is: $7.62; which seems "reasonable".

Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Both horses travel 0 miles in 0 minutes. We can see this on the graph where both lines start at the 0 in the bottom left corner. For the purpose of writing the equations this also shows us that the y-intercept is 0. In a slope-intercept equation, y=mx+b, that number is the b. b is zero in both equations, so we don't need to write anything for that.
For horse A, we can see on the graph that at 4 minutes, horse A has traveled 1 mile. Also, confirming this rate, at 8 minutes, it went 2 miles. This will help us find the rate. The rate will be the number we fill in for the m in the y=mx+b equation. Horse A goes 1mile every 4 minutes. That is a rate of 1/4 miles per minute. So Horse A's equation will be
y = (1/4)x You can make it more *intuitive* possibly by using m for miles and t for time instead, like this:
m = (1/4)t
Horse B is a little bit faster, and you can see this bc the line is a little bit steeper. It goes 2 miles in 5 minutes (confirm you can see it goes 4 miles in 10 minutes)
So Horse B's equation is
y = (2/5)x
or miles = (2/5)time
Mathematically, the equations are the same whether you use x,y or m,t
If Horse A runs for 12 minutes then it will run
miles = (1/4)minutes
miles = (1/4)(12)
miles = 3
If Horse B runs for 12 minutes, then it will run
miles = (2/5)minutes
miles = (2/5)12
miles = 4.8
Answer:
b = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Move the variables to the left side. Be sure to change the terms (add/subtract)
-9b-6 = -3b+48
-9b+3b-6 = 48
2. Combine like terms.
-9b+3b-6 = 48
-6b = 48 + 6
3. Divide both sides by -6.
-6b = 54
b = -9
