18 degrees F because
it dropped 12 degrees=10 hours
x degrees=15 hours
x is what you want to find out which is how many degrees it would drop in 15 hours.
12x15 then divided by 10 is 18.
Compound percentage reduction can be calculated by multiplying the initial number by (1-x)^t where x is the percentage reduction (/100, i.e. 1% reduction is 0.01), and t is the number of times it has reduced.
So:
a)

Where t is the number of weeks.
We can then just substitute in to work out the final pressure:
b) p = 45*0.94^6 =
31psi
Answer:
x - y + z = 8
2x +3y -z= -2
3x - 2y -9z = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
[1 - 1 1 8]
[2 3 -1 -2]
[3 -2 -9 9]
Answer:
y = 49 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8y-2/3=5.5
1/8y = 5.5 + 2/3
multiply both sides by 8:
y = 8(5.5 + 2/3) = 44 + 16/3 = 44 + 5 1/3 = 49 1/3
