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 + (negative 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:

Assuming the leak took 2 hours to fix, the original height of the pool is 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is probably the most simple "high school" problem I've seen in a while. All you have to do is move the negative 0.25 to the other side to isolate x. That gives you 4.75 + 0.25, or 5 feet.

Answer:

(B) 5 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

if water decresed .25 feet it was then .25 feet higher originally.

if the  water is 4.75 feet now you add the .25 compared to that equalling 5 ft.

Jennifer is making bouquets of flowers. She has 25 roses, 45 tulips, and 15 snapdragons. She divides the flowers equally to make
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

a. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of flowers should be divisible by the number of bouquets.

Since

25 = 5 \times 5 \\ 45 = 5 \times 9 \\ 15 = 5 \times 3

there should be 5 bouquets, and each bouquet has 5 roses, 9 tulips and 3 snapdragons.

so the answer is

a. 3

√(5-2x) - √(2-x) = 1
Eva8 [605]
Square both sides. (5-2x) - (2-x) = 1^2. 5 - 2x - 2 + x = 1. Simplify to get 3 - x = 1. X=2

Determine the equation of the line that passes through the point (7, -23)and is perpendicular to the line y=1/3x-6Enter your ans
marishachu [46]

We have a line y = 1/3x -6

We want a line that is perpendicular to this line

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1

1/3 * m = -1

3 * 1/3 *m = -1 * 3

m = -3

The slope of the perpendicular line is -3

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3x+b

We have a point on the line ( 7 ,-23)

Substitute this point into the equation

-23 = -3(7)+b

-23 = -21+b

Add 21 to each side

-23+21 = -21+21+b

-2 = b

y = -3x-2

In slope intercept form, the line perpendicular passing through (7,-23) is

y = -3x-2

Consider the function represented by 9x + 3y= 12 with x as the independent variable. How can this function be written
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: f(x) = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is represented by

9x + 3y= 12

This is a linear equation with x as the independent variable. This means that if x is the independent variable, the y is the dependent variable. The values of y depends on the values of x. In order to represent the function, 9x + 3y= 12, we would rearrange the function such that y stands alone on the left hand side of the equation. This becomes

9x + 3y= 12

Subtracting 9x from both sides,

9x -9x + 3y = 12 - 9x

3y = 12-9x

Dividing the lefthand side and right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes

3y/3 = (12-9x)/3

y= -3x + 4

using function notation,

y = f(x) = -3x + 4
