Divide the number 135 and 5. It is going to be 27. Then you multiply 27 times 4. Then you get your answer which is 108.
Proportion set up....
small 4 ? small
----- --------
big 5 135 big
Cross multiply 4x135= 540
and then divide 540/5= 108
Answer: 15 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is 5.25+1.25x=24 where x is each additional mile so to solve for x it would be 1.25x=18.75 and divide both sides to solve for x
1. You already did it.
2. Table
3. t (years since 1990)
4. n (# of cigarettes sold)
5. (t, n)
6. You can see the distribution of the data pretty neatly. There are also many more advantages including it's easier to calculate standard deviation, easier to see the mean, mode and median, and it's also much easier to just tell the extrema of the dataset by just looking at the scattergram.
Spencer would be the correct one because it's easier to keep your variables positive when trying to solve. Therefore, in order to keep the variable positive, one would have to add 4x to both sides.
That would simplify to 32x^5+400x^4+200x^3+5000x^2+6250x+3125
You would do that because you have to write it repeatedly as (2x+5)(2x+5) and so on.
