Answer:

This is an example of Extrapolation

Step-by-step explanation:

Extrapolation is the forecasting of the future based on assumption that present or past trends will continue.

It also assumes the method used for estimating past trends will still be used in future.

For example forecasts of world population.

In this instance, there were 48 impersonators of Elvis Presley, presently it has increased to to 7,328. Estimating that in 2016 based on the present trend, that one of four people will be an Elvis Presley impersonator, is also an example Extrapolation.

I don't know the answer but my tip would be to split the shape the way I did it, find the lengths of each side, and then find the area for each individual shape.

Then add all the areas together.

Hayden earns $9.50 per hour as a lifeguard.He earns a bonus of $50.00 for taking a training course.How many hours must he work t
mel-nik [20]

Answer: he must work for at least 26.32 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that Hayden works as a life guard.

Hayden earns $9.50 per hour as a lifeguard. This means that the amount that he earns for working for x hours would be

9.5x

He earns a bonus of $50.00 for taking a training course. If he takes this bonus cost, the amount that he would earn for working for x hours is

9.5x + 50

Therefore, the number of hours that he must work to earn at least $300.00 would be

9.5x + 50 ≥ 300

9.5x ≥ 300 - 50

9.5x ≥ 250

x ≥ 250/9.5

x ≥ 26.32

FIND THE VALUEOF THE VARIBLE AND FILL THE BLANK.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

f = 2

g = 8

h = -9

k = 40

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1:

23f - 17 = 29

Add 17 to both sides. This undoes the -17.

23f = 29 + 17

Add 17 to 29 to get 46.

23f = 46

Divide both sides by 23. This undoes the multiplication by 23.

f = 46/23

Divide 46 by 23 to get 2.

f = 2

Equation 2:

2(3g + 4) = 56

Divide both sides by 2. This undoes the multiplication by 2.

3g + 4 = 56/2

Divide 56 by 2 to get 28.

3g + 4 = 28

Subtract 4 from both sides. This undoes the +4.

3g = 28 - 4

Subtract 4 from 28 to get 24.

3g = 24

Divide both sides by 3. This undoes the multiplication by 3.

g = 24/3

Divide 24 by 3 to get 8.

g = 8

Equation 3:

h + 9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides. This undoes the +9.

h = 0 - 9

Any number subtracted from 0 gives its negation.

h = -9

Equation 4

3(k - 8) = 96

Divide both sides by 3. This undoes the multiplication by 3.

k - 8 = 96/3

Divide 96 by 3 to get 32.

k - 8 = 32

Add 8 to both sides. This undoes the -8.

k = 32 + 8

Add 8 to 32 to get 40.

k = 40

Equation 5:

5m - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides. This undoes the -5

5m = 0 + 5

Anything plus 0 gives itself.

5m = 5

Divide both sides by 5. This undoes the multiplication by 5

m = 5/5

Anything divided by itself gives you 1.

m = 1
