True False
B
The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet.

True False
C
The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet.

True False

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

"In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet."

In the very first statement it has been stated that over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. That means in the last 2.5 years , total decrease in level is as follows

2.5 x - 0.3 = - .75 ft .

So the statement is true.

B)

"The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet."

This statement appears to be false based on information provided

No prediction regarding rate of decrease for a period beyond 5 year  has been made so any statement with respect to a timeline of 7.5 years may turn out to be false.

C)

"The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet. "

This statement prima-facie appears to be true  because rate of decrease stated in the statement is 0.4 ft /year for next 5 years .

D )

"The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4)"

this statement is true

as change in one year = .4

change in 5 years = 5 x .4

What is hs the answer to this question?<br><br> Y= 5x+5<br> Y - x=5
ANEK [815]
Y = 5x + 5
y - x = 5

You can use substitution to solve this system. Use y's expression (5x + 5) for y in the second equation to solve for x:

y - x = 5
5x + 5 + x = 5
6x + 5 = 5
6x = 0
x = 0

Substitute your value for x into one of the original equations to y:

y = 5x + 5
y = 5(0) + 5
y = 5

Finally, substitute both values into both original equations to check your work:

5 = 5(0) + 5    -->    5 = 5    <--True
5 - 0 = 5    -->    5 = 5    <--True

Answer:
x = 0
y = 5

Using the expression 10 x 2/5 as an example, describe how to multiply a whole number by a fraction that is less than one.
Schach [20]
To multiply a whole number by a fraction less than one, you have to rewrite the whole number in the expression as a fraction by putting a one under it.
For example, in 10 x 2/5, you would rewrite the 10 to 10/1 x 2/5.
Then, you would multiply the top and bottom of the two fractions. In this case, it would be 10 x 2 and 1x5. This would result in 20/5.
Finally, you would simplify this fraction by dividing. The final answer is 4.

What is the equation of a line that passes through (-2,1) and is parallel to y=3x-4
Rama09 [41]
If a line is parallel to another, the slopes of both lines are the same. So for this problem, you can infer that the slope of the line you're trying to find is 3.

To find the actual equation of the line, you can use the given coordinates and plug them into the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

plug the given y coordinate into y1 and the given x coordinate into x1. m is the slope, so plug in 3 for m.

y - 1 = 3(x +2) Use distributive property for right side of equation

y - 1 = 3x + 6 add 1 to both sides to cancel -1 on left side of equation and isolate y

Equation of line: y = 3x + 7
