Well if my math is correct, x= -7, meaning 4x-4= (4*-7)-4. That equals -32.

Hope this helps.

What is the maximum number of snowmen they can make?

Anastasy [175]

To answer this question, you do 5 2/3 divided by 1/2. First, change 5 2/3 to 17/3. Then, use the reciprocal method by doing 17/3 times 2/1, which gives you 34/3. That’s 11.3 repeating, so they can make 11 whole snowmen.

Monique's son just turned 2 years old and is 34 inches tall. Monique heard that the average boy will grow approximately 2 5/8 in

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The equation representing how old Monique son is $\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

A linear function can be used to represent the constant growth rate of Monique Son.

i.e.

$q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o$

where;

$q_o$ = initial height of Monique's son

$\hat q$ = growth rate (in)

t = time

So, the average boy grows approximately 2 5/8 inches in a year.

i.e.

$\hat q = 2 \dfrac{5}{8} \ in/yr$

$\hat q = \dfrac{21}{8} \ in/yr$

Then; from the equation $q(t) = \hat q \times t + q_o$

$34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times 0 + q_o$

$q_o = 34\ inches$

The height of the son as a function of the age can now be expressed as:

$q(t) = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t + 34$

Then:

Making t the subject;

$q - 34 = \dfrac{21}{8} \times t$

$t = \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)$

and the age of the son i.e. ( a (in years)) is:

a = 2 + t

So;

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(q-34)}$

SO;

if q (growth rate) = 50 inches tall

Then;

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(50-34)}$

$\mathbf{a = 2 + \dfrac{8}{21}(16)}$

a = 2 + 6.095

a = 8.095 years

a ≅ 8 years

i.e.

Monique son will be 8 years at the time Monique is 50 inches tall.
