"y = -0.6x + 346" is the one equation among the choices given in the question that <span>represents the depth of the lake, y, based on the number of weeks passed, x. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option. I hope that this is the answer that has helped you.</span>
Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
This is a hexagonal prism: Volume = Area of Base (hexagon) x Height:
There are 6 equal equilateral triangles in a hexagone.
The apothem (or altitude of each triangle) = side x (√3)/2 =12(√3)/2 = 6√3
Area of ONE equilateral triangle = (side x altitude)/2:
Area of ONE equilateral triangle = (12 x 6√3)/2 = 36√3 ft²
Area of the SIX equilateral triangles = 36√3 x 6 = 216√3 ft²
VOLUME = BASE X HEIGHT = 216√3 x 15 = 3240√3 ft³
OR VOLUME = 5612 ft³
75/60 = 15/12 = 5/4. This is the lowest term
