You plug the equation that equals y into the y value on the other equation that equals 4. Then, you plug the x value into the x on the equation that equals y. Sorry if that was confusing

A carnival uses two baskets hanging from springs at different heights. Next to the higher basket is a pile of baseballs. Next to
Lelechka [254]

*I've tried looking up to see if I can find what the part B and c of this question is, but unfortunately, I can't find them. However, I have tried answering this question by answering part a, and also going ahead to answer how to state and explain the secrets of winning the game. I'm pretty sure most of the questions would be answered in the process.

Answer/Step-by-sep explanation:

Using an equation, in slope-intercept form, we can derive an equation that models the relationship of the height of each basket and the number of balls it contains.

The slope-intercept form is given as: y = mx + b, where,

m = slope/rate of change

b = y-intercept/strating value/height of the basket when it's empty.

✍️Baseball Equation:

Using two pairs, (0, 54) and (5, 39) from the given table of values,

Slope/rate of change (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{39 - 54}{5 - 0} = \frac{-15}{5} = -3.

y-intercept, b, = the starting value, or the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, b = 54

This means that the baseball basket was at a height of 54 units when it was empty.

m = -3, means the baseball basket kept reducing at an average rate of -3 units in height as each ball was added.

To derive the baseball equation, substitute m = -3, and b = 54 into y = mx + b.

✅Thus, base ball equation would be:

y = -3x + 54

✍️Golf Ball Equation:

Using two pairs, (0, 45) and (5, 35) from the given table of values,

Slope/rate of change (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{35 - 45}{5 - 0} = \frac{-10}{5} = -2.

y-intercept, b, = the starting value, or the value of y when x = 0. Therefore, b = 45

This means that the golf ball basket was at a height of 45 units when it was empty.

m = -2, means the golf ball basket kept reducing at an average rate of -2 units in height as each ball was added.

To derive the baseball equation, substitute m = -2, and b = 45 into y = mx + b.

✅Thus, golf ball equation would be:

y = -2x + 45

Now, to win the game, we have to find out how many number of exact balls (x) we need to add in each basket equally, for both baskets to be at the same height.

To do this, set the equation of the baseball equal to that of the golf ball.

Thus:

-3x + 54 = -2x + 45

Collect like terms

-3x + 2x = -54 + 45

-x = -9

Divide both sides by -1

x = 9

✅To win the game, add 9 balls each to both basket to make the height of both baskets equal.

Let's check to see if both baskets will yield the same height if we add 9 balls each basket.

✍️Height (y) of Golf ball basket if we add 9 balls (x):

Substitute x = 9 into y = -2x + 45

y = -2(9) + 45 = -18 + 45

y = 27 units

✍️Height (y) of Baseball basket if we add 9 balls (x):

Substitute x = 9 into y = -3x + 54

y = -3(9) + 54 = -27 + 54

y = 27 units

✅As we can see, both baskets will be at the same height of 27 units when we add 9 balls to each basket.

The game will be won if we do this.

What is the result if 3x-9 is evaluated when x = -5?​
Anton [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I wonder if it is the minus that is causing the problem?

Let x = - 5

3*(-5) - 9

-15 - 9

This is a money question. If you are 15 dollars in debt and you spend another 9, where are you? (In the company of the American government. They do this all the time).

- 15 - 9 = - 24

Monica measures 91 milliliters of water into 9 tiny beakers. she measures an equal amount of water into the first 8 beakers. she
UkoKoshka [18]
To determine the amount of water in the first 8 beakers, you will subtract the 19 ml that are in the 9th beaker from the total to see how much water was actually put into the first 8 beakers.

91 ml - 19 ml = 72 ml.

The 72 ml are divided evenly between 8 beakers.

72/8 = 9 ml

There would be 9 ml of water in each of the first 8 beakers.

The radius of the circle on a basketball court is 6 feet. What are the approximate circumference and area of the circle?
AlexFokin [52]
Circumference formula - 2pi(r)
area formula - pi(r)^2
in both of the formulas r is the radius so

to find circumstance: 2(pi)(6) = 25.68 feet

to find area: pi(6)^2 = 113.04 feet
