18 - 2H = 12 - .5H
Combine the variables
18 - 2H + .5H = 12 - .5H + .5H
18 - 1.5H = 12
Combine the whole numbers
18 - 18 - 1.5H = 12 - 18
-1.5H = -6
Divide by -1.5
-1.5H/-1.5 = -6 / -1.5
H = 4
The answer is 4 hours

Write an equation for your trend line?
Soloha48 [4]
Find two points on the graph that the line crosses through almost perfectly. It looks like (1,10) and (9,1) will do.

Use them to compute the slope:
m = (1 - 10) / (9 - 1)
= -9/8

Then set up the "point-slope form":
y - y0 = m * (x - x0)

You choose some point (x0, y0) that the line crosses through. We already know the line passes through (1,10) pretty well, so let's use that.

x0 = 1
y0 = 10

Now finish plugging into the equation:
y - 10 = -9/8 * (x - 1)

The above equation will work fine for an answer, but let's go a step further and solve for y.

y - 10 = -9/8x + 9/8
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 10
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 80/8
y = -9/8x + (9 + 80)/8
y = -9/8x + 89/8

Ron is designing a new slide for the amusement park in town the slide makes an angle of 39 degrees with the ground.The top of th
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The length of the slide he needs to make = AC = L = 14.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Δ ABC

AC = Length of the slide = L

AB = 9 ft

\theta = 39 °

From  Δ ABC

\sin \theta = \frac{AB}{AC}

Put all the value in the above formula

\sin 39 = \frac{9}{L}

L = \frac{9}{0.629}

L = AC = 14.3 ft

Therefore the length of the slide he needs to make = AC = L = 14.3 ft

Shalnov [3]

|x - 3| - 1 = 5

x - 3 - 1 = 5

x - 4 = 5

x = 9

-(x - 3) - 1 = 5

-x + 3 - 1 = 5

-x + 2 = 5

-x = 3

x = - 3

x = -3 , 9 matched the answers on the number line

Answer is B) |x - 3| - 1 = 5
