Answer:
The slope is -4.5
The slope means that Elijah's phone battery will decrease by 4.5 percent each hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation y = mx + b, m is the slope.
The coefficient in the equation B = 27 – 4.5t is -4.5. This means that -4.5 is the slope of the equation.
In the context of this problem, the slope will represent the percent that Elijah's phone battery will decrease per hour.
So, the slope means that Elijah's phone battery will decrease by 4.5 percent each hour.
First combine like terms:
6n-2n = 4n
7n-2=4n
subtract 7n from both sides
7n-2=4n
-7n -7n
-2=-3n
divide -2 on both sides.
n=1.5
What we know is that a 6 foot tall tent casts a 15 foot shadow. Lets represent that given this way: 6 = 15
So, the unknown (y), or what we want to know, is how tall the cardboard box if it has a 6 foot long shadow (noticeably the same height as the tent):
y = 6
6 = 15
y = 6
(6 x 6) / 15 = y
36 / 15 = y
2.4 = y
The height of the cardboard box is 2.4 feet.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3 = -x + 7
Add x to each side
x+x + 3 = -x+x + 7
2x+3 = 7
Subtract 3 from each side
2x = 7-3
2x = 4
Divide by 2
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 2
