Answer:

The error that Adam could have made is added 45 to the depth of

submarine instead of adding -45

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A submarine traveling 200 meters below the surface of the ocean

- Increases its depth by 45 meters

- Adam says that the new location of the submarine is -155 meters

- We need to know the error of Adam

∵ We consider the surface of the ocean is the zero level

∵ The submarine is 200 meters below the surface of the ocean

∵ Below means negative

∴ The depth of submarine is -200 meters

∵ It increases the depth by 45 meters

- <em>That means it travels down another 45 meters</em>

∵ Down means negative

∴ The depth of submarine = -200 + (-45) = -245 meters

∴ The depth of submarine is 245 below the surface of the ocean

- Adam could thought that the submarine traveled up for 45 meters

 then he add 45 to -200

∵ -200 + 45 = -155 meters

∴ The error that Adam could have made is added 45 to the

   depth of submarine instead of adding -45

Determine the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through (0,5) and (4,0)
Alona [7]
(0,5)(4,0)
slope = (0 - 5) / (4 - 0) = -5/4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -5/4
use either of ur sets of points....(0,5)...x = 0 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = -5/4(0) + b
5 = b
so ur equation is : y = -5/4x + 5...but we need it in standard form...

y = -5/4x + 5
5/4x + y = 5....multiply everything by common denominator of 4
5x + 4y = 20 <== standard form of Ax + By = C

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

The number line is supposed to show the product of 2 and five, the arrow will start at 0 because 5 times 0 is 0 then it will go to 5 because 5 times 1 is 5, then another arrow will start at 5 and point at 10 because 5 times 2 is 10

The second option points backwards which would be if you were dividing 10 by 5

The third option starts at negative 10 so it shows -10 divided by -5

the last option starts at 0 and goes to -10 so it shows -5 multiplied by 2

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br><br> _____ units
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the same side of the larger triangle.

x               42

---------- = ----------

x+10           42+15

Simplify

x               42

---------- = ----------

x+10           57

Using cross products

57x = 42 (x+10)

Distribute

57x = 42x+420

Subtract 42x from each side

57x-42x = 42x-42x +420

15x = 420

Divide each side by 15

15x/15 = 420/15

x=28

Answer:

150+12x=630
