Answer:

x = 7.667

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8 = 15 (Rearrange expression)

-8 - 15 = -3x (Combine like terms)

-23 = -3x (Divide)

x = 7.667

Answer:x = 7.667

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 8 = 15

+ 8 = 23

3x = 23

divide 3 by 3 and 23 so you get x by itself

answer = 7.667

PLS 40 points

Pavlova-9 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $p1$ be the point $(-1,4)$

Let $p2$ be the point $(3,-4)$

The equation of the line passing through two points $p1=(x_{1},y_{1})$

and $p2=(x_{2},y_{2})$ is $\frac{y-y_{1}}{x-x_{1}} =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

substituting $p1,p2$ in the above equation yields

$\frac{y-4}{x-(-1)}=\frac{-4-4}{3-(-1)}$

which when simplified gives $\frac{y-4}{x+1}=\frac{-8}{4}$

which when further simplified gives $2x+y=2$

The value of a new truck decreases exponentially at a rate of 4.8% per year. If the purchase price of the new cars $42,000, how

Usimov [2.4K]

The worth of the car after it is paid off 5 years later given the rate of exponential depreciation is $32,842.34.

<h3>What is the worth of the car?</h3>

When the car declines in value, it means that the car is depreciating. The formula that can be used to determine the value of the car with the depreciationn rate is:

FV = P (1 - r)^n

FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = rate of decline
N = number of years

$42,000 x (1 - 0.048)^5 = $32,842.34

The parking rates at the hospital’s parking garage are 50 cents for the first hour and 25 cents for each additional hour. If Jua

Bad White [126]

The total charge for Juan in the parking spot would be $2.25.

Since we know one of those 8 hours is 50 cents, we can multiply .25 by 7 which would give us 1.75. Then we know that the first hour, as stated above, is going to be .50, so we can add that to our total which is 2.25.

Hope this helps!

After all your hard work studying for Algorithms you, Alice and Bob end up stuck in a room full of deadly zombies! Luckily you h

shutvik [7]

Answer:

The most important quantity to consider in order to answer this question is the arrival time of the zombies from their initial position, which is the quotient between their distance to the visitors, divided the zombie's speed.

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

What is crucial to know is what is the time at which each zombie would reach Alice and Bob, and that is given by the quotient between the distance away each zombie is, divided by the zombie's speed:

$speed=\frac{distance}{time} \\time=\frac{distance}{seed} \\t_i=\frac{d_i}{s_i}$

Then, it is this quotient for each zombie, that one has to estimate given the input values distance and speed, and it is the output "time" ( $t_i$ ) for each zombie, what we need to analyze so as to prioritize an order regarding which zombie to kill first.

Part 2)

Shooting the closest zombie first is not a good idea, since the speed of that closest zombie may be much slower than another zombie further away, but with much larger speed. Again, the important value to analyze is the time that it would take each zombie to reach Alice and Bob.

Part 3)

Shooting the fastest zombie first is not a good idea either, because that fastest zombie could be located very far away from the visitors, and other zombies closer by may reach them first.

Part 4)

The order that should be used to kill the zombies is given by the value of the time to reach Bob and Alice based on the quotient distance (di) over speed (si) explained in Part 1). The zombie that shows smallest time should be shot first, and then the others in increasing order of time value.

Part 5)

Notice that the individual zombie information is not presented in the question, but the student should be able to calculate the quotients for each zombie, and considering that there could be at most one shot every second, estimate the number of seconds that the time for each zombie in increasing order would allow until the addition of shooting time per second in the appropriate order cannot match the arrival time of the zombies that are left.

One should count number of seconds from the first shot (to the zombie with shortest arrival time), and then increase in one unit (one shot per second), to the following zombie with slightly larger arrival time), and so on, until the addition of seconds (one second per shot and per increasing arrival time of zombie) exceeds the next zombie arrival time.
