Answer: x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

We know that the slope of this line is:

m=-\frac{3}{2}

And the y-intercept is:

b=3

Since the line intersects the x-axis when y=0,  we can substitute values into  y=mx+b:

 0=-\frac{3}{2}x+3

The final step is to solve for "x", then:

-3=-\frac{3}{2}x\\\\(-3)(-2)=3x\\\\6=3x\\\\x=\frac{6}{3}\\\\x=2

maw [93]
r = -3/4p - 18/5 
(or you could put 3.6 or 3 3/5 instead of 18/5)

2 - 3/4p = 5/6r + 5 
-5                     -5
-3 - 3/4p = 5/6r
 /(5/6)       /(5/6) 
-18/5 - 3/4p = r 
-3/4p - 18/5 = r

Average Temperatures Suppose the temperature (degrees F) in a river at a point x meters downstream from a factory that is discha
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Temperatures Suppose the temperature (degrees F) in a river at a point x meters downstream from a factory that is discharging hot water into the river is given by

T(x) = 160-0.05x^2

a. [0, 10]

For x = 0

T(0) = 160 - 0.05 × 0^2

T(0) = 160

For x = 10

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 10^2

T(10) = 160 - 5 = 155

The average temperature

= (160 + 155)/2 = 157.5

b. [10, 40]

For x = 10

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 10^2

T(10) = 160 - 5 = 155

For x = 40

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 40^2

T(10) = 160 - 80 = 80

The average temperature

= (80 + 155)/2 = 117.5

c. [0, 40]

For x = 0

T(0) = 160 - 0.05 × 0^2

T(0) = 160

For x = 40

T(10) = 160 - 0.05 × 40^2

T(10) = 160 - 80 = 80

The average temperature

= (160 + 80)/2 = 120

Help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

A, 2 5/8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Since six dozen brownies is three times as much as two dozen, we can multiply 7/8 cups by 3. 3 x 7/8 = 21/8 If we simplify this fraction, it is 2 5/8. Therefore the answer is A, 2 5/8 cups.
