14.4÷2~7.
You can estimate 14.4 as 14 and simply divide by 2.
The goal of estimating is to be able to do an educated guess mentally
Substitute 3 into the expression for m, and 7 into it for n. So 3mn = 3(3)(7) = 3 x 21 = 63.
Answer:
So Philip made 5 bracelets and 4 necklaces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of bracelets and y = number of necklaces.
Since we have a total of 9 bracelets and necklaces,
x + y = 9 (1)
Also, we have 8 inches of cord for each bracelet and 20 inches of cord for each necklace, then the total length for the bracelet is 8x and that for the necklace is 20y.
So, the total length for both is 8x + 20y. Since the total length of cord used is 120 inches,
8x + 20y = 120 (2)
Simplifying it we have
2x + 5y = 30 (3).
Writing equations (1) and (3) in matrix form, we have
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}9\\30\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%5C%5C2%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D9%5C%5C30%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Using Cramer's rule to solve for x and y,
![x = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}9&1\\30&5\end{array}\right] /det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20det%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D9%261%5C%5C30%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2Fdet%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%5C%5C2%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)
x = (9 × 5 - 30 × 1) ÷ (1 × 5 - 1 × 2)
x = (45 - 30) ÷ (5 - 2)
x = 15 ÷ 3
x = 5
![y = det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&9\\2&30\end{array}\right] /det \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\2&5\end{array}\right] \\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%20det%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%269%5C%5C2%2630%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2Fdet%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%261%5C%5C2%265%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5C%5C)
y = (30 × 1 - 9 × 2) ÷ (1 × 5 - 1 × 2)
y = (30 - 18) ÷ (5 - 2)
y = 12 ÷ 3
y = 4
So Philip made 5 bracelets and 4 necklaces.
At heart we're being asked for a line through two points,

In general the line through (a,b) and (c,d) is

Check that you understand why both (a,b) and (c,d) are on this line.
Here our indepedent variable, instead of x, is T, temperature. Our dependent variable is v, velocity. Substituting,





That's our answer; let's check it.
When T=40, v = (5/9)40 + (2995/9) = 355 good
When T=49, v= (5/9)49 + (2995/9) = 360 good
