PLZZZZ HELP The Lakeview city council is considering two different plans to help reduce the amount of pollution in the city. Pla

n Alpha estimates that it can reduce the pollution following the equation y=-7x+900. Plan Foxtrot estimates it can reduce the pollution following the equation y=-17x+900. 1. Explain why the two equations have the same y-intercept. 2. Which plan would reduce the amount of pollution the most? 3. Which plan should the city council should choose? Justify your answer.

1. The two equations follow the slope-intercept form which y=mx + b. They have the same y-intercept which is equal to 900.

2. Suppose x= 10
    Plan Alpha: y=-7x+900=-7(10)+900=830
    Plan Foxtrot: y = -17x+900 = -17(10)+900=730
    
    Between the 2 plans, the lower value is 730. Plan Foxtrot is better for reduction of pollution.

3. The city council should choose Plan Foxtrot because the reduction of pollution is much greater. Their goal would be reached faster if they go with faster reduction of pollution.

At a garden shop, a customer buys 5 geraniums and 4 lilies for $48. Another customer pays $58 for 4 geraniums and 6 lilies. Writ
masha68 [24]

Answer:

A lily costs $7 and a geranium $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can write two equations. let the number of lilies be l and the number of geraniums be g, then:

5 g + 4 l = 48

4 g + 6 l = 58

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5, the number of lilies in the other gives:

20 g + 16 l = 192

20 g + 30 l = 290

Subtract the first equation from the second gives:

14 l = 98  which dividing by 14 gives  l = 7

Substituting the value  l = 7  in the first equation gives:

5 g + 28 = 48

Subtract 20 from both sides gives:

5 g = 20  divide by 5 gives  g = 4

So, a lily costs $7 and a geranium costs $4.

The measure of one of the acute angles in a right triangle is 42 1/3 . What is the measure of the other acute angle in the trian
Alex17521 [72]
Explanation: The sum<span> of the measure of the </span>internal<span> angles of any triangle is 180o . In a right angled triangle, one angle will be 90o . Since we know the measure of one of the other acute (less than 90o ) angles, we subtract the </span>sum<span> of the two known angles from 180 to calculate the measure of the other acute angle.</span>
