Plug in the corresponding values into y = mx + b

8.18 in for y

1.31 in for m

17.2 in for b

8.18 = 1.31x + 17.2

Now bring 17.2 to the left side by subtracting 17.2 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 17.2 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

8.18 - 17.2 = 1.31x

-9.02 = 1.31x

Then divide 1.31 to both sides to isolate x. Since 1.31 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 1.31 out (in this case it will make 1.31 one) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.

-9.02/1.31 = 1.31x/1.31

x ≈ -6.8855

x is roughly -6.89

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x= -6.89

Explanation:

You need to substitute your values of the variables into the y=mx+b. So.......

8.18=1.31x+17.2

next, you would solve like a linear equation. so, you would subtract 17.2 from each side first, which would give you

-9.02=1.31x

then, you would divide each side by 1.31. this would give you your answer

-6.885496=x

this varies on teacher, and should be specified in the instructions which place value you are to round to. i will round this to the 2nd decimal place, so

x=-6.89

As an object moves, the distance it travels increases with time. Agree Disagree
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Agree

Explanation:

Distance is described as "how much ground an object is covered" in physics, and because the object is moving, no matter which direction, it is constantly gaining more distance. You can think of the object as a car, and as the car is moving down a highway it is gaining more and more distance as the seconds go by.

You might be confused with the term displacement, "how far out of place an object is" which in this case would be false.

Does that make sense?

A swimming pool contains x (less than 0.02) grams of chlorine per cubic meter. the pool measures 5 meters by 50 meters and is 2
zubka84 [21]
The solution for this problem would be:(10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
so start by doing: 
x(5*50*2) - xV + 5V = 0.02(5*50*2) 
500x - xV + 5V = 10 
V(5 - x) = 10 - 500x 
V = (10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
(V stands for the volume, but leaves us with the expression for x)

I believe the answer would be C because potential energy is affected by height and mass. The truck in photo C is the highest and has a lot of mass.
