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.
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the angles is a right angle, which is 90 degrees
5x+ x+54 = 90
Combine like terms
6x+54 = 90
Subtract 54 from each side
6x+54-54 = 90-54
6x = 36
Divide each side by 6
6x/6 = 36/6
x= 6
A think it is all of the above because each rope is the same amount
