Answer:

166\frac{2}{3}\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the average depth of the resulting layers of ash and rock

we know that

To find out the average depth, divide the cubic kilometers of molten rock by the area where all the ejected material fell.

so

\frac{100\ km^3}{600\ km^2}=\frac{1}{6}\ km

Convert to meters

Remember that

1\ km=1,000\ m

so

\frac{1}{6}\ km=\frac{1}{6}(1,000)=\frac{1,000}{6}=\frac{500}{3}\ m

Convert to mixed number

\frac{500}{3}\ m=\frac{498}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=166\frac{2}{3}\ m

Which of the following points lies on the graph of the function y = 8x?
nignag [31]
Y = 8^x
For (0, 1): 1 ≠ 8^0 = 1
For (8, 1): 1 ≠ 8^8 = 16,777,216
For (2, 64): 64 = 8^2
For (0, 8): 8 ≠ 8^0 = 1

Therefore, option 3, (2, 64) is the correct answer.

What equation represents a line that when if graphed, passes through the points (0, -1) and
Keith_Richards [23]
Y= 2x-1
Explanation: First, you find slope. If the first point it x-axis point is 0 and the second x-axis point is 1 then you already know the answer is over 1, so you have to figure out how many up you are going on the y-axis from -1 to 1. Which is 2, so your slope is 2/1 or just 2. Next, you find your y-intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis, and the easy way to find this is finding what y is equal to when x is equal to 0, in the problem you are told (0, -1) as a point, so they gave you your y-intercept right there, which is -1. Finally you right the equation in slip intercept form (y= mx+b) which is y= 2x-1

The sum of two numbers is 23. The difference of the numbers is 7.4. What are the two numbers?​
Brums [2.3K]
X+y=23
X-y=7.4

X+y=23
y=23-X

X-y=7.4
(23-y)-y=7.4
23-2y=7.4
-2y=-15.6
Y=7.8

X+y=23
X+7.8=23
X=15.2

Therefore the two numbers are 7.8 & 15.2

Define a substitution method to solve the followingsysten of equation of y=2x-3, x+y=1
Ivan
I will solve you system by substitution

y = 2x - 3 ; x + y = 1

→Step 1: Solve y = 2x - 3 for y

→Step 2: Substitute 2x - 3 for y in x + y = 1:

x + y = 1 

x + 2x- 3 = 1

3x - 3 = 1 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x - 3  + 3 = 1 + 3 (Add 3 both sides)

3x = 4 
 
3x ÷ 3 = 4 ÷ 3 (Divide each side by 3)

x = 4/3

→Step 3: Substitute 4/3 for x in y = 2x - 3:  

y = 2x - 3 

y = 2 (4/3) -3 

y = -1/3 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer: 

x = 4/3 and y = -1/3
