Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Both expression are the same :
14 = 2(x + 3)
By expansion :
14 = 2*x + 2*3
14 = 2x + 6
Hence ;
Both expression are the same
Weight of one circle :
Final weight on both sides are equal:
Weight on Left hand side = 14
Weight on right hand side = 3*x + 3*x
Weight on Left hand side = Weight on right hand side
14 = 3x + 3x
14 = 6x
x = 14 / 6
x = 2.333
Area=side^2
if we say area=y and side=x
y=x^2
an euation is linear if the highest power of the variables is 1
y^1=x^2
2≠1
it is not linear (it's quadratic, fancy term for 2nd degree)
Any linear equation can be written as
y = mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.
b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.
The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.
