A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 feet before the leak is fixed. After the leak is fixed, the

height of the water is 4.75 feet. The equation -4.75 = x + (-0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool. What was the original height of the water in the pool?

Answer:

5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the height of the water is 4.75 feet, the equation is

4.75 = x + (-0.25)

To solve, add 0.25 to each side:

4.75+0.25 = x+(-0.25)+0.25

5.00 = x

-4.75 = x + (-0.25)  well x=5

and the 4.75 is positive

a straight line has a equation 4x + 3y = 12 . find the gradient of the line and the coordinates of the point where this line cro
Komok [63]
4x + 3y = 12
3y = -4x + 12
y = -4/3x + 4........so the slope (or gradient) is -4/3...because in y = mx + b form, the slope(gradient) is in the m position and the y int is in the b position....so if u wanted to know the y axis, it would be (0,4)

the x intercept (where the line crosses the x axis) can be found by subbing in 0 for y in the original equation or the slope intercept equation, and solving for x.
4x + 3(0) = 12
4x = 12
x = 12/4 = 3....so the x intercept is (3,0)

Suppose that x and y vary inversely, and x = 12 when y = 8 . Write the function that models the inverse variation.
Alja [10]

Answer:

y=\frac{96}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

So when x and y, vary inversely, it means that the product of x and y will remain constant such that: xy=c. This means that the function can be defined as y=\frac{c}{x} by dividing both sides by x. In this case x=12, and y=8, this means the constant is equal to 12 * 8 which is 96. So we have the equation:  xy = 96, which can be defined as y=\frac{96}{x}

Please help I dont get it<br> x - 3 1/2 = 8.5
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3\frac{1}{2} = 8.5          

x - \frac{7}{2} = 8.5         Convert the mixed fraction to a imroper fraction.

x - 3.5 = 8.5     Convert the improper fraction to a decimal number.

x = 12                Add 3.5 to both sides.
