The <em>correct answer</em> is:


Her number is 7.


Explanation:


Let x represent her number.


She triples her number; this is represented by 3x.


She then adds 5 to this; this gives us 3x+5.


She gets 26 aas her answer. This gives us the equation:

3x+5 = 26


To solve this, first subtract 5 from each side:


3x+5-5 = 26-5

3x = 21


Divide each side by 3:

3x/3 = 21/3

x = 7

tan( \pi/3) = \frac{h}{20} \\h = 20*1.73205\\h=34.64\ ft

What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table? (4 points) x y −2 5 −1 4 0 3 1 2 a −2 b −1 c negativ
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

rate of change=slope= y2-y1/x2-x1

Step-by-step explanation:

x: -2|-1|0|1

y : 5|4|3|2

so choose 2 ordered pairs. in this case, we will choose (-2,5) and (-1,4)

now we plug them in: \frac{4-5}{-1-(-2)}

4-5=-1

-1-(-2)=1

so -1/1 is equal to -1, meaning it's answer option b.
