Answer:

Let x be the first piece, y the 2nd, Z the 3rd

You know all of the pieces together make 24 thus,

24 = x + y + z

The second piece is 2 times longer than the 1st so,

y = 2x

The 3rd is 5 times longer

z = 5x

Replace them in the equation of the beginning

24 = x + 2x + 5x

24 = 8x

x = 3 (First piece)

y = 6 (Second Piece)

z = 15 (Third Piece)

Answer: first piece = 3 feet

Second piece = 6 feet

Third piece = 15 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the siding is 24 feet.

It is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece. If x represents the length of the first​ piece, then the length of the second piece is 2x.

If the third piece is five times as long as the first piece, then the length of the third piece would be

5x. Therefore,

x + 2x + 5x = 24

8x = 24

x = 24/8

x = 3 feet

Length of the second piece = 2 × 3 = 6 feet.

Length of the third piece = 5 × 3 =

15 feet.

The data below shows the minimum wage requirement

Answer:

We select the option c.

y=0.114x+0.691

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Best Fit Regression Model</u>

Scientists often wonder if there is a relationship between the variables under study. It's a vital matter in modern times where artificial intelligence technology is struggling to find answers where traditional approaches hadn't before.

The most-used tool to find relations between variables is the regression model and its best fit lines to try to find an expression who relates variable x (years from 1960) and variable y (minimum wage requirement) as of our case.

The data was entered into a digital spreadsheet and an automatic function was applied to find the best-fit model.

The automated tool's output was this equation:

y=0.11363x+0.6906

That can be rounded to three decimals

y=0.114x+0.691

We select the option c.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -7) and has a slope of 0 <br>​
Natali [406]

Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A line with a slope of zero is a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis with equation

x = c ( where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through )

The line passes through (- 6, - 7 ) with x- coordinate - 6 , then

x = - 6 ← equation of line
