Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
4/x=8/(x-3)
We can solve this using cross products
4 ( x-3) = 8x
Distribute
4x -12 = 8x
Subtract 4x from each side
4x-4x-12 = 8x-12-4x
-12 =4x
Divide each side by 4
-12/4 = 4x/4
-3 =x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The temperature at a given altitude is
y = 36 - 3x
The temperature on the surface of the planet is the point (0,t) where t is the temperature for the given height.
y = 36 - 3*0
y = 36
So at the surface of the planet is 36 degrees C.
======================
Effectively it is the slope of the equation which is - 3
So ever km going up will mean a loss of 3 degrees. I think they want you to write -3
