We start at 62 Fahrenheit. And every hour we drop two degrees. We want to know how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

If one hour passed, then the temperature dropped two degrees.
If two hours passed, then the temperature dropped 4 degrees.

See the pattern? We can define this as 2h. Where h represents time in hours.
We subtract 2h from 62. 

We can write this as a function. F(h) = 62 - 2h.
Where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. And h is the hour(s).

Now that we have the formula, let's plug in the value 40 Fahrenheit to see how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 degrees.

40 = 62 - 2h
Subtract 62 from each side

-22 = -2h
Divide both sides by 2

h = 11

So, it took 11 hours for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

HELP ME PLEASE!! ASAP!!
Levart [38]
The total area is given by:
 A1 = (300) * (500)
 A1 = 150000 feet ^ 2
 The area occupied by 5 people is:
 A2 = (5) * (5)
 A2 = 25 feet ^ 2
 Then, we can make the following rule of three:
 5 --------> 25
 x --------> 150000
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (150000/25) * (5)
 x = 30000

Taylor is using money from her coin try to go to the fair. She wants to spend no more than $17 there. She has $8 in bills and so
ZanzabumX [31]
There are 4 quarters in dollars. Keep that in mind.

Since Taylor is spending no more than 17 dollars, she probably only has 17 dollars. We already know that she has 8 dollars in bills, so we can subtract 8 dollars from 17 dollars because we need to find the amount of dollars in quarters. 

The answer for that is 9 dollars. Since there are 4 quarters in the dollars, you need to multiply 9 by 4 to find the amount of quarters.

K is the midpoint of JL. JK = 2x + 5 and JL = 50.
Sergeu [11.5K]
Steve set the equation equal to 50 which is the entire length of JL. instead he should've set the equation equal to 25, since it's half of 50 and would represent the midpoint. he should've said 2x + 5 = 25
