Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
=> 5x-4+2(x-4) = 16
Expanding the brackets
=> 5x-4+2x-8 = 16
Combining like terms
=> 5x+2x-4-8 = 16
=> 7x - 12 = 16
Adding 12 to both sides
=> 7x = 16+12
=> 7x = 28
Dividing both sides by 7
=> x = 4
Answer:
x = 4 or x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes because it is a terminating decimal and could be converted as a fraction (:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I really hope you know how to use your calculator to find regression equations, because in this forum it is impossible to teach you how to do that. I ran the data through my calculator and got the exponential equation as
which means at 4 hours, we started with 1963 bacteria and it is growing at a rate of 114% each hour. Since we started out with an x value of 0, and that value represents the number of bacteria after 4 hours, then time 0 is 4 hours, which means that time 12 is 16 hours. We replace the x in the equation with a 12 and do the math:
which gives us, in the end,
y = 9460
Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
.
Plug in the information given:
.
Now we want to solve this equation for Run.
If you don't like Run as a variable, let's just use x in it's place:

Cross multiply:

Simplify both sides:

The run is 120.
Let's check our work.
.
So if our rise is 6 and our run is 120.
Does 6/120 reduce to 1/20?
6 and 120 do have a common factor of 6.
So if you divide top and bottom of 6/120 by 6 you do get 1/20.
