Jack is a discus thrower and hopes to make it to the Olympics some day. He has researched the distance (in meters) of each men's

gold medal discus throw from the Olympics from 1920 to 1964. Below is the equation of the line of best fit Jack found.
y = 0.34x + 44.63
When calculating his line of best fit, Jack let x represent the number of years since 1920 (so x=0 represents 1920 and x=4 represents 1924).

Using the line of best fit, estimate what the distance of the gold medal winning discus throw was in 1980.
71.83 meters

65.03 meters

717.83 meters

44.63 meters

Answer:

65.03 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best fit, for the distance of the winning throw, in x years after 1980 is:

y = 0.34x + 44.63

Using the line of best fit, estimate what the distance of the gold medal winning discus throw was in 1980.

1980 - 1920 = 60, so this is y(60).

y(60) = 0.34(60) + 44.63 = 65.03

So the answer is 65.03 meters.

If a worker can do his job in 5 hours, and a student can do the same job in 8 hours, what part of the work is left to finish aft
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Part of work left to finish after two work hours is 7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate their joint work rate

That will be;

1/(1/5 + 1/8) = 1/(13/40) = 40/13

This means that they will complete the task in 40/13 hours

1 whole part takes 40/13

x part will take 2 hours

x * 40/13 = 2

40x = 26

x = 26/40

So the part that will be completed in two hours is 26/40

This means that the part left to complete will be:

1 - 26/40 = 14/40 = 7/20

Help me plz I do not understand

It is quite simple actually since it is simple division with the negative rules.
Just simplify the problem and use the negatives to determine if it is positive or negative. (two negatives equal a positive and one negative equals a negative)

Solve for y.<br><br> –0.8y + 5.49 = –19.86 − 2.3y<br><br> y =
anastassius [24]

Answer:

y = -16.9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>→Add 0.8y to both sides:</u>

-0.8y + 5.49 = -19.86 - 2.3y

5.49 = -19.86 - 1.5y

<u>→Add 19.86 to both sides:</u>

25.35 = -1.5y

<u>→Divide both sides by -1.5:</u>

-16.9 = y
