Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line can be found using the slope intercept form

y = mx +b

y= -3/2 x + 3

x intercept is found by setting y=0 bc that will give you the x-value at which the line crosses the x -axis so

0 = -3/2x+3 (subtract the 3 on both sides) would cancel out the + 3 and would

-3 = -3/2 x (divide by -3/2 on both sides to cancel out the -3/2)

x = 2

Answer with explanation:

Presume that, initial water level to be, 0 mm, at a time t=0.

And water level is rising at the rate of $1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}$ .

After 6.2 years level of water will be =1.8 × 6.2

=11.16 mm

→Averge, that is increase in water level after 6.2 years is given by

$=\frac{W_{2}-W_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}\\\\=\frac{11.16-0}{6.2-0}\\\\=\frac{11.16}{6.2}\\\\=1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}$

→→Rate of Depreciating of water level is given by = Negative of Increase of water level= $-1.8 \frac{\text{mm}}{\text{year}}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x,\ y-the\ numbers\\\\\text{The sum of four times a number and five times another number is -28:}\\\\4x+5y=-28\\\\\text{The sum of nine times the first number and two times the second number is 11:}\\\\9x+2y=11\\\\\text{We have the system of equations:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x+5y=-28&\text{multiply both sides by2}\\9x+2y=11&\text{multiply both sides by (-5)}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}8x+10y=-56\\-45x-10y=-55\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equation}$

$.\qquad-37x=-111\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-37)}\\.\qquad\qquad\boxed{x=3}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the first equation:}\\\\4(3)+5y=-28\\12+5y=-28\qquad\text{subtrac 12 from both sides}\\5y=-40\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\boxed{y=-8}$
