If each week the tank decreased by 3 inches, in 2 weeks it would be 6 in, 3 weeks is 9 in, 4 weeks would be 12 in, and 5 weeks would be 15 in.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) - g(x)
= x² - 8 - (4 - x) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
= x² - 8 - 4 + x ← collect like terms
= x² + x - 12 → A
Solve for x:
8 - 5 x = 2 x + 8
Subtract 2 x from both sides:
8 + (-5 x - 2 x) = (2 x - 2 x) + 8
-5 x - 2 x = -7 x:
-7 x + 8 = (2 x - 2 x) + 8
2 x - 2 x = 0:
8 - 7 x = 8
Subtract 8 from both sides:
(8 - 8) - 7 x = 8 - 8
8 - 8 = 0:
-7 x = 8 - 8
8 - 8 = 0:
-7 x = 0
Divide both sides of -7 x = 0 by -7:
(-7 x)/(-7) = 0/(-7)
(-7)/(-7) = 1:
x = 0/(-7)
0/(-7) = 0:
Answer: x = 0
Answer:
a) -3 gallons per hour
b) y = -3x +14
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of change is computed by dividing the amount of change by the interval over which it occurred.
<h3>a)</h3>
Here the amount of gas decreased from 14 to 2 gallons, so a decrease of 14-2 = 12 gallons. That occurred over a 4-hour period, so the rate of change is (-12 gallons)/(4 hours) = -3 gallons/hour.
__
<h3>b)</h3>
The initial amount was 14 gallons, so the equation for the line describing remaining gas will be ...
y = -3x +14 . . . . gas in the tank after x hours
It is B!!! If you take 3 3/4 times the # of sides which in this case is 4 equals 15 in the end.
