The second option is the answer
Answer:
- Grayson had 10 inches of snow in his lawn
- the snow falls at a constant rate of 0.5 inches per hour
- no snow was melting
- the snow has fallen for 3 hours
Let y be the height of the snow in the lawn
Grayson had 10 inches at the beginning (at t=0) so y= 10
3 hours passed so y= 10 + 3*0.5 = 11.5 inches
Grayson had 11.5 inches after three hours
Assuming that the snow continued to fall for an unkhown time t
y = 0.5*t + 10
we had 10 at the beginning so we add 10 (+10)
the snow is growing by 0.5 inches in the single hour so we multiply by 0.5
t is the time and it can 4, 5, 6 ...... hours
Just like a function :
- 0.5 is the slope
- t is the variable
- 10 is the y-intercept
We need to use the variables m and n to represent both numbers.
Their sum must equal -15. Therefore, we can write the next equation:
m + n = -15
If one number is five less than the other, we need to choose one variable and then we can write it in terms of the other variable. Then:
n = m-5
To find the value for each number, we can replace the n equation on the first equation:
m + n = -15
m + (m-5)= -15
Then:
m + m - 5 = -15
2m -5 = -15
Solve the equation for m:
Add both sides 5 units:
2m - 5 +5 = -15+5
2m = -10
Divide both sides by 2:
2m/2 = -10/2
m = -5
Finally, replace the m value on the first equation:
m + n = -15
-5 + n = -15
Then, solve the equation for n:
Add both sides by 5:
-5+5 + n = -15 +5
n = -10
Hence, both numbers are m=-5 and n= -10.
The equations separated by a comma are m + n = -15,n = m-5.
The numbers separated by a comma are -5,-10.
Let n be the number of minimum chimes needed.
$3500=$12n-$125x5
$4125=$12n
I think it is gonna be xy
because if ur set contains all odd multiples of 3 (-9,-3,3,9,15,21,27...
and u pick any 2 of those numbers and multiply them u will end up with an odd numbered multiple of 3
and if u pick out any 2 numbers in ur set..and do any of the other things in ur answer choices, it will not always be an odd numbered multiple of 3
