You would multiply each side of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/5 (5/3) because would cancel out 3/5 which would leave you with x and the answer.

It is 76°f at the 6000-foot level of a mountain, and 49°f at the 12,000-foot level of the mountain. write a linear equation to f
valina [46]

Answer:

t(x) = 103 -0.0045x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let the equation:

t(x) = a + bx

be the linear equation that represent temperature at an elevation x.

Temperature at 6000-foot level = 76 f

76 = a + 6000b

Temperature at 12000-foot level = 49 f

49 = a + 12000b

Solving the two equation, we get,

76-49 = -6000b\\27=-6000b\\\\b = \dfrac{-27}{6000}\\\\b = -0.0045\\76 = a + (-0.0045)6000\\76 = a -27\\a = 76 + 27\\a  =103

Thus, we can write the linear equation as:

t(x) = 103 -0.0045x
