The nearest tenth would be 10.1
Answer:
- C. Her sister grew about 0.75 inch each month.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function:
The function is linear and it represents:
- y - current heigt of baby
- x - number of months passed
- 0.75 - the slope is the monthly growth rate
- 15 - the y-intercept, is the initial height of baby
According the above explanation the correct answer choice is C
T us assume the two numbers to be "x" and "y".
Then
2x + y = 310
And
x - y = 55
Let us take the second equation and find the value of x in relation to y.
x - y = 55
x = y + 55
Now let us put the value of x in the first equation, we get
2x + y = 310
2(y + 55) + y = 310
2y + 110 + y = 310
3y = 310 - 110
3y = 200
y = 200/3
= 66 2/3
Now putting the value of y in the second equation, we get
x - y = 55
x - (200/3) = 55
3x - 200 = 55 * 3
3x = 165 + 200
x = 365/3
= 121 2/3
So the value of x is 121 2/3 and the value of y is 66 2/3
