Your answer will be 1.125. You first do what is in the parenthesis. 3/4+5/8=1.375

Then 2 1/2- 1.375= 1.125 

There is your answer ^^

A wildlife photographer photographs a crocodile and then paddles against a river current for 6 km. Then, hoping to photograph a
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

5 or 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.

then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:

Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x

15/x-6/x-2=1

multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get

(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x

11x-30=x^2

x^2-11x+30=0

(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.

so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h

Jim buys a calculator that is marked 30% off. If he paid $35, what was the original price?
liraira [26]

Answer:

x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

He got 30% off

The discount is .30x

Subtract this from the original price to get the price he paid

x - .30x = price he paid

.70x = price he paid

.70x = 35

Divide each side  by .7

.70x/.7 = 35/.7

x=50

Determine whether a quadratic model exists for the set of values below. If​ so, write the model. f(0) = -4, f(3) = -19, f(-1) =
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

  A) The model exists: f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic model will always exist for 3 given points, provided they are not on a line. In that case, a linear model is appropriate.

Here, the slope between -1 and 0 is positive, and the slope between 0 and 3 is negative. Thus, we know these points are not collinear, and a model must exist.

The model is most easily found using a quadratic regression tool. Such is shown in the attachment. It tells us that ...

  f(x) = -3x^2 +4x -4
