An empty 6-gal water jug weighs 0.5 lb. With 3 c of water inside, the jug weighs 2 lb. Which equation models the jug’s weight y

when it contains x cups of water?

The slope would be 2/3 because that would leave pounds when multiplied by cups.

add 0.5 for the weight of the water jug

y = (2/3)x + 0.5

Lena [83]

Answer:

There are a ton of answers. For instance, 1m by 159m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area is a=l*w, where l and w are constants.

The formula for perimeter is p=2l+2w

The question wants another rectangle that has the same perimeter, but a smaller area.

The perimeter of the two fields has to be:

p=(2*95)+(2*65)\\p=190+130\\p=320

Thankfully, the question never specified how much smaller the area has to be. So let's go to the logical extreme and make it 1 meter wide. To conserve the perimeter, we'd have to add the removed 64 meters to the original 95 meters of length, resulting in a rectangle with a width of 1m and a length of 159m. This results in an area of exactly 159 m^{2}. The original rectangle had an area of 6175m^{2}. Mission accomplished!

But why stop there? Let's go even further down this rabbit hole!

Instead of 1, why don't we take it several steps further and use 0.0000001? At that point, the length would end up being  159.9999999m.

The area would be 0.00001599999999 m^{2}.

Let's go further!!

Width: 0.00000000000000000001

Length: 159.99999999999999999999

Area: 0.00000000000000000001599999999999999999999 (approximate).

One more, for old time's sake.

Width: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001m

Length: 159.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999m

Area: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000015999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 m^{2}

At that point, there's so little area in the plot of land that you could claim it has no area!

Use substitution to solve the system of equations.
riadik2000 [5.3K]
I believe you haven't included the system of equations for us to solve.

However, I will tell you that you need to solve for one variable in an equation and substitute that into the other equation.
For example:
x = yz; z = x/y
a = zb; a = (x/y)b

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt

Step-by-step explanation:

The ocean is not a still body of water. There is constant motion in the ocean in the form of a global ocean conveyor belt. This motion is caused by a combination of thermohaline currents (thermo = temperature; haline = salinity) in the deep ocean and wind-driven currents on the surface. Cold, salty water is dense and sinks to the bottom of the ocean while warm water is less dense and remains on the surface.

The ocean conveyor gets its “start” in the Norwegian Sea, where warm water from the Gulf Stream heats the atmosphere in the cold northern latitudes. This loss of heat to the atmosphere makes the water cooler and denser, causing it to sink to the bottom of the ocean. As more warm water is transported north, the cooler water sinks and moves south to make room for the incoming warm water. This cold bottom water flows south of the equator all the way down to Antarctica. Eventually, the cold bottom waters returns to the surface through mixing and wind-driven upwelling, continuing the conveyor belt that encircles the globe.
