Answer:
We have
sale price + 6% x sale price = $121.37;
Then
(106/100) x sale price = $121.37;
sale price = $121.37 x 100 / 106;
sale price = $12137 / 106;
sale price = $114.50;
Step-by-step explanation:
The meaning of the question is
Let the unknown number be x
Therefore x+7=16-2x
Now 2x+x=16-7
3x=9
X=9/3
x=3
F(x) = -x^2 + 6x + 6
where f(x) represents the height, in feet, of the water from the fountain at different times x, in seconds
rate of change of a distance is speed
at x=5, distance = 11
at x=2, distance = 14
so average rate of change = (14-11)/(5-2) = 1
so ans is D
Answer:
63.5F
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the temperature at the start of the experiment. Then the temperature at first check is (x -10.4F). The temperature at the second check is 1/3 that value, and is said to be 17.7F. This lets us write the equation ...
1/3(x -10.4F) = 17.7F
Multiplying by 3 gives ...
x -10.4F = 53.1F
x = 63.5F . . . . . . add 10.4F
The initial temperature of the liquid was 63.5F.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Temperature is measured on an "interval scale." On such a scale, the value 0 is located arbitrarily. Concepts such as "1/3 of the temperature" have no meaning on such a scale. Here, we have to ignore that fact and assume the problem is about the numbers, not about any real temperature relationship in thermodynamic terms.
