So first you would divide 12 in half to figure out how many inches it moves in 24 hours (or 1 day) which would be 6 inches every 24 hours. You then multiply 6 (inches per day) by 7 (# of days). You end up with 42 inches in 7 days. Hope this helps

Help please!! Triangle QRS is similar to triangle TUV. Write the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the side of triangle QRS

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

y = x +9

Step-by-step explanation:

Side RS of triangle QRS is the one that is parallel to side UV. Being parallel, it has the same slope as UV. We observe that UV has a "rise" of 3 units (from 2 to 5) and a "run" of 3 units (from 1 to 4). Its slope is ...

m = rise/run = 3/3 = 1

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

We observe that point S has coordinates (-8, 1), so we can write the equation of line RS in point-slope form as ...

y -1 = 1(x -(-8))

Adding 1 to both sides and simplifying, we have the slope-intercept equation ...

y = x +9

What is 4.3(v+2.5)=8.11+4v

True [87]

Answer:

-8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by simplifying the parenthesis through multiplication. Parenthesis is a structure which signals multiplication happening.

$4.3(v+2.5)=8.11+4v\\4.3v+10.75=8.11+4v$

We now begin combining like terms across the equal sign by performing the inverse or doing the opposite. Move first the 8.11 by subtracting it from both sides.

$4.3v+10.75-8.11=8.11-8.11+4v\\4.3v+2.64=4v$
