A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 foot over 2 hours. After the leak is fixed, the height of th

e 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 in feet?

Answer:

  5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 0.25 to both sides of the equation:

  4.75 +0.25 = x - 0.25 +0.25

  5.00 = x

The original height of the water in the pool was 5.00 feet.

. Simplify: (2 x 2 + 6-10 ÷<br><br> 2)​
Maurinko [17]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You see 2x2 = 4 right and since this is operation 2 / 10 = 5  and 6-5 = 1 so add 1 and that gives you 5

2x2 = 4 /  10/2 = 5 /  6-5 = 1 +4 = 5

The two dot plots below show the heights of some sixth graders and some seventh graders: The mean absolute deviation (MAD) for t
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The number of times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders is approximately 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the sixth graders = 1.2 and that of the seventh graders = 1.7

The variability in the heights of the sixth graders = 1.2

The variability in the heights of the seventh graders = 1.7

To calculate how many times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders, we will divide the variability of the seventh graders by the variability of the sixth graders

That is, 1.7/ 1.2 = 1.4167 ≅ 1.4

Hence, the number of times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders is approximately 1.4

7x- 3(x- 6) = 30<br> A. X=3<br> B.x=9<br> C.x=6<br> D.x=12
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplify the expression

7x-\left(3\cdot\left(x-6\right)\right)=30

Solve by distributing:

7x-\left(3x+3\cdot-6\right)=30

Simplify the arithmetic:

7x-\left(3x-18\right)=30

Expand the parentheses:

7x-3x+18=30

Simplify the arithmetic:

4x+18=30

What is the y-intercept of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y = 3/5 x + 10 and passes through the poin
murzikaleks [220]

The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x, 3/5. The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of that:

... m = -1/(3/5) = -5/3

The point-slope form of the equation of a line can be written as

... y = m(x -h) +k . . . . .for slope m and point (h, k)

Using the values we are given for the perpendicular line, its equation is

... y = (-5/3)(x -15) -5

Simplifying gives

... y = (-5/3)x +20

The y-intercept of the perpendicular line is 20.
