Answer:
At a combined speed of 6 in/min, it takes us 24 mins to clean the wall
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the question did not provide the speed with which each student cleans, we can make assumptions. This is so that we can solve the question before us
Assuming student 1 cleans at a speed of 2 inches per minute, student 2 cleans at a speed of 2½ inches per minute & student 3 cleans at a speed of 1½ inches per minute.
Let's list the parameters we have:
Height of wall (h) = 12 ft, Speed (student 1) = 2 in/min, Speed (student 2) = 2½ in/min, Speed (student 3) = 1½ in/min
Speed of cleaning wall = Height of wall ÷ Time to clean wall
Time to clean wall (t) = Height of wall ÷ Speed of cleaning wall
since students 1, 2 and 3 are working together, we will add their speed together; v = (2 + 2½ + 1½) = 6 in/min
1 ft = 12 in
Time (t) = h ÷ v = (12 * 12) ÷ 6 = 144 ÷ 6
Time (t) = 24 mins
-6x is the answer hope it helps
Answer:
y = 4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, put the new line into the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Since, the slope of the first line is 4, that means the slope of the second line is also 4.
So far, the equation is y = 4x + b.
Then, since you know (-2, -5) is a solution, x = -2, y = -5 is a solution so you can plug this into the equation.
This would be:
-5 = 4 * -2 + b
-5 = -8 + b
3 = b
This means the equation is y = 4x + 3.
Answer:
Option d. the initial amount of money placed in the savings account
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
This is a exponential function of the form
where
a is the initial value
r is the growth rate
(1+r) is the base
x is the number of years
f(x) is the amount of money in a savings account
In this problem we have
a=$3,005
r=0.03=3%
(1+r)=1.03
therefore
3,005 represent the initial value ( the amount of money for the value of x equal to zero)
