Answer: It decreased by 24F not 10F because if it were 10F the starting temperature had to be -7F since the difference between this number and -17F is 10F but in this case it starts at 7F so we subtract 7-0=7 and 17-0=17 and add 17+7=24F.

Step-by-step explanation:

7-0=7

17-0=17

17+7=24F

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(6) is the y-value when x = 6

From inspection of the graph, f(6) = -6

g(5) is the y-value when x = 5

From inspection of the graph, g(5) = -5

Substitute the found values into the given equation:

  4 · f(6) - 6 · g(5)

= 4 · (-6) - 6 · (-5)

= -24 - (-30)

= -24 + 30

= 6

5x +y=8
makvit [3.9K]
Take away the bottom equation from the top so the y’s cancel out
3x = -24
x therefore = -8
and put x back into the equation to find out y
2(-8) + y= 32
-16 + y =32
y= 48
