Answer:

t(x) = 103 -0.0045x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let the equation:

t(x) = a + bx

be the linear equation that represent temperature at an elevation x.

Temperature at 6000-foot level = 76 f

76 = a + 6000b

Temperature at 12000-foot level = 49 f

49 = a + 12000b

Solving the two equation, we get,

76-49 = -6000b\\27=-6000b\\\\b = \dfrac{-27}{6000}\\\\b = -0.0045\\76 = a + (-0.0045)6000\\76 = a -27\\a = 76 + 27\\a  =103

Thus, we can write the linear equation as:

t(x) = 103 -0.0045x

Help!!! What’s x/3=-8
mixer [17]

Answer:

x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

We gotta get rid of that 3 under x, so we multiply the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3, if we multiply that on one side, we must also multiply on the other side.

3 · x/3 = -8 · 3

x = -24

Hope this helps! good luck on whatever you're doing :]

James and Bethany Morrison are celebrating their 10th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have bud
ddd [48]

Answer: See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Create the equation:

$34 times the number of people plus the $50 cleaning fee has to be less than or equal to $3500

Or

34p + 50 <= 3500

34p <= 3450

p <= 101.470588....

We can have a part of a person attending the reception so we have to drop the remainder/decimal. Therefore the most amount of people that can attend the party and stay within budget is 101.
