Answer:

4.8 gallons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mai is filling his fishing tank with water. This shows a proportional relation between the time and the amount of water filled.

Amount of water filled (In gallons) ∝ Duration (In minutes)

w ∝ t

w = kt ---------(1)

For t = 0.5 gallons,

Amount of water = 0.8 gallons

From equation (1),

0.8 = k(0.5)

k = 1.6

So the proportionality equation will be,

w = 1.6t

Now we have to find the amount of water filled in 3 minutes.

w = 1.6 × 3

= 4.8 gallons

Therefore, water filled in the tank after 3 minutes = 4.8 gallons.

Which statement correctly explains how Dana can solve the following system of linear equations for x using the elimination metho

Vanyuwa [196]

1. The correct statement is the first one, which is: <span>Add the two equations, solve for y, and then substitute –1 for y to find x.
</span>
2. Therefore, you have the following system of equations:
<span>
4x+8y=20
-4x+2y= -30

3. When you a</span>dd the two equations, and clear the variable "y", you obtain:

10y=-10
y=-1

4. Now, you must substitute -1 for y (y=-1) to find x, as below:

4x+8y=20
4x+8(-1)=20
4x-8=20
4x=20+8
4x=28
x=28/4
x=7

The graph represents the piecewise function

mr Goodwill [35]

The piece-wise function is defined as follows:

$f(x) = x^2, 0 \leq x < 3$ .

$f(x) = -\frac{5}{3}x + 14, 3 < x \leq 6$ .

$f(x) = \frac{3}{2}x - 5, 6 \leq x \leq 10$ .

<h3>What is a piece-wise function?</h3>

A piece-wise function is a function that has multiple definitions, depending on the input.

In this graph, for x at least 0 and less than 3, the parabolic curve passes through (0,0), (1,1), (2,4) and has an open interval at (3,9), hence the definition is:

$f(x) = x^2, 0 \leq x < 3$

For x greater than 3 and at most 6, it is a line going through (3,9) and (6,4), hence:

$m = \frac{9 - 4}{3 - 6} = -\frac{5}{3}$
