Since the model is linear, the function describing the <span>U.S. Hispanic high school dropout rate (d) is given by:
d = A*y + B</span>

Note that y represents the years counting from 1990, so 2008 will correspond to y=18, and 1998 to y=8

A is calculated through the formula:

A= \frac{d.final - d.initial}{y.final - y.initial} = \frac{18.3-29.5}{18-8}=\frac{-11.2}{10}=-1.12&#10;

<span>So the dropout rate is, according to this model, diminishing 1.12% per year.
Now that we know A, we can calculate B simply by replacing the KNOWN values in the formula:</span>

 d=A*y+B&#10;18.3=-1.12*18+B&#10;B=18.3+1.12*18=38.46

So the model states that

<span>d=-1.12*y+38.46
</span>

D represent the U.S. Hispanic high school dropout rate
 y represent the years since 1990.
 The first thing we should do is find the equation of the straight line. For this we use the following table that we obtain from the data of the problem
 y d
 1998 29.5
 2008 18.3
 The linear model for the dropout rate is
 d = -1.12y + 2267.3
 answer
 d = -1.12y + 2267.3

Albert bought some fish at a grocery store at $2 per pound for salmon and $4 per pound for catfish. He spent a total of $12 on s
Gemiola [76]

Albert bought 2 pounds of catfish and 2 pounds of salmon

Let c represent the amount of catfish in pounds and s represent the amount of salmon in pounds.

He spent a total of $12 on salmon and catfish and bought a total of 4 pounds.  Hence:

c + s = 4    (1)

4c + 2s = 12    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

c = 2, s = 2

Albert bought 2 pounds of catfish and 2 pounds of salmon

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon is a shape with equal sides and angles. Because of this, we can write the following equation to set two sides equal to each other:

3a+b+3=2a+2b+6

Solving, we will get a in terms of b:

3a=2a+b+3,\\a=b+3

Now we can substitute a for (b+3) into our equation:

5a-2b+1=2a+2b+6,\\5(b+3)-2b+1=2(b+3)+2b+6,\\3b+16=4b+12,\\-b=-4,\\b=\boxed{4}

Therefore, the length of each side of this polygon is 5(4+3)-2(4)+1=28.

Since the perimeter of the polygon consists of all five sides, the perimeter is:

p=28\cdot 5 =\boxed{140}

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

35 is exactly 152 but since its asking for greater then you're right it is 36.

But since it says '>' it means not equal to so it would be:

x > 35

or

x ≥ 36
