Rita is planting saplings along her garden fence. When she started, she had x packages of saplings with 5 saplings per package.

She planted 15 saplings and has at most 20 left. How many packages of saplings did she start with? What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

Answer:

<u>A. When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

<u>B. If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of packages Rita started = x

Number of saplings per package = 5

Number of saplings planted by Rita = 15

Number of saplings left = 20

2. How many packages of saplings did she start with?

Number of packages Rita started = (Number of saplings planted by Rita + Number of saplings left)/Number of saplings per package

Replacing with the real values:

x = (15 + 20)/5

x = 35/5 = 7

<u>When Rita started, she had 7 packages of saplings.</u>

3. What would the solution look like on a number line graph?

If we represent x (number of packages of saplings) on a number line graph, it will start on number 4 (number of packages Rita still has) then moves to the right to number 7, that is the number of packages when Rita started to plant.

Sam the Hummingbird flies at a rate of 2 yards per minute, as modeled by the equation y = 2x. She
daser333 [38]

Answer:

See attachment for plot

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y =2x

R =+2 --- increment in the rate

First, we need to model the new rate

A linear equation is:

y = mx + b

Where

m = rate

Compare y =2x and y = mx + b. we have:

m =2

The above represents the previous rate.

The new rate:

R =+2

Rewrite as:

R = m+2

R = 2+2

R = 4

So, the model is:

y = Rx

y = 4x

<u>The plot at 1 and 2 minutes</u>

When x = 1

y = 4x = 4 * 1 = 4

When x = 2

y = 4x = 4 * 2 = 8

So, we have:

(x_1,y_1) =(1,4)

(x_2,y_2) =(2,8)

Can someone please help me
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The size is 37.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The total angle in the triangle is 180

Since the other two angles are congruent. it means that they are equal

Let us call each of the angles x

Mathematically,

x + x + 105 = 180

2x = 180-105

2x = 75

x = 75/2

x = 37.5

Find the value of b here
sweet [91]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will start with the angle that measures 57 degrees. This angle is supplementary to the one next to it coming off the straight line. 180 - 57 = 123.

The rule for quadrilaterals is that same side angles are supplementary, so the angle next to the 123-degree angle (to the immediate left of that angle 123) is 57. THAT 57-degree angle is supplementary to angle b, so angle b = 180 - 57 which is 123. So C is your answer.

What is the value of the function when x = 2?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: The answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this easier, first draw or imagine a vertical line at x=2

Find where the vertical line and the graph intersects.

Draw or imagine that point of intersection.

Now, draw or imagine a horizontal line that goes through the point of intersection.

That horizontal line tells us the the value of the function by passing through that mark that says "-2"

The function's value at x=2 is -2.
