Worth 15 POINTS! Create a story for the equation y= -2x + 14
1 answer:
-2x+14 is the same as 14 - 2x
Let's say you started off with $14. If you want to buy a soda worth $2, then you have 14-2 = 12 dollars left. If you buy two sodas, then you spend 2*2 = 4 dollars with 14-4 = 10 dollars left.
In general, buying x sodas will cost you 2*x dollars and you have 14 - 2x dollars left over. The x is simply a placeholder for a whole number. For example, if x = 3, then...
14 - 2x = 14 - 2*3 = 14 - 6 = 8
meaning buying 3 sodas cost you $6 and you have $8 left over.
If y is the amount left over, then we can say y = 14 - 2x which is equivalent to y = -2x+14
note: graphing this equation will go through the two points (0,14) and (7,0) as shown in the image below. A graph is handy to help see various points on the line. Each point represents the amount of sodas you can buy (x) and the amount left over in your pocket (y). Keep in mind that neither x nor y can be negative, so it only makes sense to restrict the graph.

Answer:
Total weight of the wheat placed on 45th square will be =
Step-by-step explanation:
King rewarded the inventor of chess by giving grain of wheat on every square of the chess board. He places one grain of wheat on first square, 2 on second, 4 on 3rd, 8 on 4th and so on.
In fact he places grains of wheat in a progression S = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.........n terms where value of n is 64.
We can rewrite the progression as S = 2°, 2, 2², 2³,.........n terms (n = 64)
In a geometric progression we know the nth term =
where a = first term of the series, r = common ratio, n = number of terms
Now we have to calculate the weight of all wheat placed on 45th square.
So we will put the values in the given formula 45th term =
=
=
Then the weight of wheat will be = =
