Answer:

B. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 machines can produce x units in 6 days. This means they have a daily total rate of x/6 units per day.

Since the machines are similar and that they work at the same rate, this means that the individual rates of each machine would be x/6/4 = x/24 units per day.

Now we are looking at producing 3x units in 4 days. This means that we want to produce 3x/4 units in a single day. Now, since each machine would work at a rate of x/24, we need to know the number of machines we need. To know this number, we simply divide what is to be achieved by the individual rate:

This is 3x/4 divided by x/24. This mathematically means 3x/4 * 24/x = 18 machines

Part A: y-intercept = 12 miles 


Part B: Find the average rate of change: 36 - 20/2 = 16/2 = 8 mph
This tells us that the bird can travel long distances. 


Part C: 172 - 12 = 160 miles at a rate of 8 mph
160 mi ÷ 8mph = 20 hrs

(1 point) The length of an insect (L, in mm) is a function of the temperature during development (T , measured in ∘C according t
lawyer [7]

Answer:

M(T)=1.1(7(8+T^{10})^{3}) and M(T)=1.1(7(8+22^{10})^{3})=1.44\time10^{41}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the next set of functions:

L(T)=8+T^{10}

V(L)=7L^{3}

M(V)=1.1V

We want to know M(T) then:

M(V)=1.1V but we know that V(L)=7L^{3}:

M(L)=1.1(7L^{3}) and we know that L(T)=8+T^{10}

M(T)=1.1(7(8+T^{10})^{3})

Finally using the value of 22º we have

M(T)=1.1(7(8+22^{10})^{3})=1.44\time10^{41}

Use each method to solve system of linear equation. Show your solution.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

x=-1 y =-1

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply equation 1 with (-2)

+6x-2y=-14

5x+2y=3

now add equation 1 to equation 2

11x=-11

x=-1

now substitute x=1 in 1 or 2

5(1)+2y=3 5+2y=3 2y=3-5 2y= -2 y= -1
