Answer:

So the answer is 2.5615 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the river is 2.5 feet deep, and when you find that 9% is, using the cross-multiplication formula to find the percent then 9% of 2.5 is 0.225, and when you add that to 2.5 you get 2.725, and when you find 6% of 2.725, you get 0.1635, and since it dropped, you subtract, and you end up with 2.5615

Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's easier for you, you can replace n(a) with y and put a as x.

Now the equation is y = 7x + 4.

It asks you to put in 39 as y.

39 = 7x + 4.

To solve this, the goal is to isolate the variable on one side. The first step I see is to subtract the 4 from both sides.
