Answer:
C. 81
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2-18x+81
(x-9)(x-9)
0.9 seconds is the correct answer
Remark
This is an arithmetic progression. You have the first and last terms and the difference.
Givens
a = - 18
L = 60
d = 4.5
Equation
L = a + (n - 1)d
Solve
60 = -18 + (n - 1) * 4.5 Add 18 to both side
60 + 18 = (n - 1) * 4.5
78 = (n - 1) * 4.5 Divide both sides by 4.5
78/4.5 = n - 1
17.3333 = n - 1 Add 1 to both sides.
18.3333 = n
Conclusion
It will that 18 1/3 or 18.33333 minutes to get the from -18 to 60 degrees.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the initial weight of Porky the pig.
Porky the pig weighs 1,125 lbs less than Kobe the Cow. This means that the initial weight of Kobe the cow is
x + 1125
After each gains 50lbs. Kobe the Cow will weigh ten times as much as porky the pig. This means that
(x + 1125) + 50 = 10(x + 50)
x + 1125 + 50 = 10x + 500
10x - x = 1125 + 50 - 500
9x = 675
x = 675/9
x = 75
Porky's current weight is
75 + 50 = 125 lbs
Kobe's current weight is
(75 + 1125) + 50
= 1250 lbs
