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.

What is the y-intercept of the line perpendicular to the line y = four thirdsx + 1 that includes the point (4, 1)?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the slope of the equation. This is illustrated below:

y = 4/3x + 1

Comparing the above equation with:

y = mx + c

The slope (m) of line is 4/3.

Next, we shall determine the slope of the equation perpendicular to:

y = 4/3x + 1

This is illustrated below:

When two lines are perpendicular, their slope are related as:

m2 = – 1/m1

From the above, m1 = 4/3

m2 = –1 ÷ 4/3

m2 = –1 × 3/4

m2 = – 3/4

Next, we shall determine the equation passing through (4, 1). This is illustrated below:

y – y1 = m(x – x1)

y1 = 1

x1 = 4

m = – 3/4

y – y1 = m(x – x1)

y – 1 = –3/4 (x – 4)

y – 1 = –3/4x + 3

y = –3/4x + 3 + 1

y = –3/4x + 4

Comparing:

y = –3/4x + 4 with y = mx + c

The y-intercept, c is 4.

The cost of 6one by two metere
Alik [6]

Answer:

Rs 17 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 6 1/2 m = 115 3/8

Cost of 1 m = x

  • x = 115 3/8 ÷ 6 1/2
  • x = (115*8 +3)/8 ÷ 13/2
  • x = 923/8 × 2/13
  • x = 923/(4*13)
  • x = 923/52
  • x = 17 39/52
  • x = 17 3/4

Cost of 1 meter is Rs 17 3/4
