This question requires creating a few equations and working through them step-by-step. Now, first let's give each of the shapes a variable: let's say that the blue shape is a, the orange shape is b and the green shape is c.
1. We can technically create six formulas for the magic square, with three for sum of the rows and three for the sum of the columns, however the smartest way to approach this is to observe whether there are any obvious answers that we can get.
We can see in row 2 that there are three of the same shape (a) that add to 57. This makes it very simple to calculate the value of the shape.
Since 3a = 57
a = 57/3 = 19
2. Now we need to find a row or column that includes a and one other shape; we could choose either column 2 or 3, so let's go with column 2. Remembering that the blue shape is a and the orange shape is b:
2a + b = 50
Now, given that a = 19:
2(19) + b = 50
38 + b = 50
b = 12
3. We can now take any of the rows or columns that include the third shape (c) since we already know the values of the other two shapes. Let's take column 1:
a + b + c = 38
19 + 12 + c = 38
31 + c = 38
c = 38 - 31
c = 7
Thus, the value of the blue shape is 19, the value of the orange shape is 12 and the value of the green shape is 7.
All you need to do is plug -5 into the second equation and you see it is near (-5, -8). When plugged into the top, you get (-5, -27/4) which comes out to ABOUT -6.75 for the Y value. The closest is actually a tie. The first option is .8 from the first and .45 from the second leading in a total distance of 1.25. The second, which is the fellow answer, is 1.2 from the first and .05 from the second, leading to 1.25 away.
The third, which is next closest is 1.8 from the first and .55 from the second leading to a distance of over 2 from the optimal, so only the first two are answers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-15º F.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that on Monday in Minneapolis, Minnesota it’s was 0 ° F outside, while on Tuesday it was 15 degrees colder, to determine what was the temperature on Tuesday the following calculation must be performed:
0 - 15 = X
-15 = X
Thus, the temperature on Thursday was -15º Fahrenheit, which is equal to -26.11º Celcius.
