Answer

The initial temperature was T = -7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial temperature be T.

- The tempature was very cold

Temperarure = T

- Then it doubled

Temperature = 2T

- Then it dropped 10 degrees

Temperature = 2T - 10

- And then it increased by 40 degrees.

Temperature = 2T - 10 + 40 = 2T + 30

The tempature is now 16 degrees

Temperature = 16 degrees

2T + 30 = 16

2T = -14

T = -7 degrees

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

The starting temperature was -7 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the inicial temperature by 'X'.

First the temperature doubled, so now it is 2X.

Then, it dropped 10 degrees, so now it is 2X - 10

Then, it increased by 40 degrees, so now it is 2X - 10 + 40 = 2X + 30

Now, the temperature is 16 degrees, so we have that:

2X + 30 = 16

2X = 16 - 30

2X = -14

X = -7

The starting temperature was -7 degrees

Iteru [2.4K]

According to the rate of change, it is found that the hourly rate of temperature change at the bottom of the mountain was of -2.5 ºC per hour.

<h3>What is the average rate of change?</h3>

The average rate of change of a function is given by the <u>change in the output divided by the change in the input.</u>

In this problem, it is stated that at the top of the mountain, the average rate of change is of -2.5 ºC per hour, and at the bottom of the mountain the rate is the same, hence the hourly rate of temperature change at the bottom of the mountain was of -2.5 ºC per hour.

James practiced Piano for 48 Minutes. Alisa practiced 5 times long as James. How many Minutes did Alisa Practice? how many minut
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Alisa practiced for 240 minutes (4 hours). In total, they practiced for 288 minutes (4.8 hours).

Step-by-step explanation:

If James practiced for 48, and Alisa practiced 5 times as long, then we would multiply 48 by 5 (240 minutes).

If we want to find how many minutes in total they practiced, then we would add 240 minutes (Alisa's practice time) and 48 minutes (James' practice time) together, which would equal 288 minutes (4.8 hours).

Equation: y=48+x
