2. 5(x-1)=-3x+35
5x-5=-3x+35
5x=-3x+30
2x=30
x=15
3 x 4(hours) = 12
60 - 12 = 48
At 4am the temperature was 48 degrees
Really, we don't need to use that much math--we can use logic instead. Since the two congruent sides must be longer than 30in, the total has to be greater than 60in (the longest side plus the congruent sides.) So for our answer, we want the smallest total that is above sixty, which in this case is 72.44in.
Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions :) I can explain the real math if you want, it was just unnecessary here.
Answer:
The equation is
at a rate of -23%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Decay can be represented by the equation
. We can find the rate at which it decays by using t=3 hours and A=3000. This means
in this context.
After substituting, we divided by 6000 to each side to get 0.5 on the left. Now to solve for r, we will take the natural log of both sides and use log rules to isolate r.
We know
so we were able to cancel it out and divide both sides by 3.
We solve with a calculator
We change -0.23 into a percent by multiplying by 100 to get -23% as the rate.
The equation is
