Answer:

So I'm not entirely sure about this one, but I believe he gained 0.21 pounds each day for 30 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cam was born weighing 8.6 pounds and after 30 days weighed 14.9, subtract 14.9-8.6 to find how much he gained.

14.9 - 8.6 = 6.3

Now that we know how much he gained, we have to find out how much he gained per day for 30 days. To do this, divide 6.3 by 30

6.3 / 30 = 0.21

To make sure this answer is correct, multiply 0.21 by 30 and add that to 8.6. It should equal 14.9.

I hope this helps!

So first we find out how much weight Cam gained 14.9 - 8.6 = 6.3 lbs. 6.3 pounds distributed into 30 days would be, 6.3 divided by 30 is 0.21. Cam gained 0.21 lbs every day.

Solving the equation

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-(4y + 2) - (-3y - 6) = -1

Step 2: Solve for <em>y</em>

Distribute: -4y - 2 + 3y + 6 = -1
Combine like terms: -y + 4 = -1
Subtract 4 on both sides: -y = -5
Divide both sides by -1: y = 5

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in y to verify it's a solution.</em>

-(4(5) + 2) - (-3(5) - 6) = -1

-(20 + 2) - (-15 - 6) = -1

-22 - (-21) = -1

-22 + 21 = -1

-1 = -1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Person's height = 5 ft

Person's shadow = 10 ft

Tree's height = ?

Tree's shadow = 110 ft

- Use the Thales' theorem to solve this problem

Person's height / Person's shadow = Tree's height / Tree's shadow

- Substitution

5 / 10 = x / 110

-Solve for x

x = 5 (110) / 10

-Simplification

x = 550 / 10

-Result

x = 55 ft

-Conclusion

The tree is 55 ft height

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount, in millions gallons of water, spent by Lee County, in t years after 2019, is given by the following equation:

$P(t) = P(0)(1 + r)^{t}$

In which P(0) is the amount spent on 2019 and r is the increse rate, as a decimal.

In the year 2019, Lee County used approximately 55 million gallons of water.

This means that $P(0) = 55$

Historical trends show that each year the water demand is increasing by a rate of approximately 2.1%.

This means that $r = 0.021$

$P(t) = P(0)(1 + r)^{t}$

$P(t) = 55(1 + 0.021)^{t}$

$P(t) = 55(1.021)^{t}$

Approximately how many million gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025?

2025 is 2025 - 2019 = 6 years after 2019. So this is P(6).

$P(t) = 55(1.021)^{t}$

$P(6) = 55(1.021)^{6}$

$P(6) = 62.3$

Rounded to the nearest millions

Approximately 62 gallons of water will be used by Lee County by the year 2025.
