<h2>
Answer: a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)</h2>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
To solve for 'a' we have to make it the subject of the equation. Since there are two unknowns ('a' & 'b'), we won't get a numerical value of 'a', but an expression in terms of the second unknown 'b'.
Since 2a - b = 4 <em> [add 'b' to both sides]</em>
then 2a = 4 + b <em>[divide both sides by 2 = multiplying by ¹/₂]</em>
a = ¹/₂ (4 + b)
Answer:
I found it! It's over here!!
Now what do I do with it?
So 2 gallons every 5 minutes
2/5= .4
so .4 a minute
and you already have 5 gallons in so those need to be added
m=minutes
y=0.4m + 5 will be what you want to find out if you are looking to find out how much will be there in a certain time
for 50 minutes you will have
y=0.4(50) +5
20+5
25 gallons
HOWEVER, the equation has to be changed if you want to tell how long you have to wait for it to fill.
m=2.5(g-5)
m=minutes
g= gallons
you subtract 5 because they are already there
you multiply by 2.5 because it fills at a rate of 1 gallon every 2.5 minutes.
m=2.5(1500-5)
for the sake of it being easier i will do the -5 separately
2.5(1500 = 3750
2.5(-5= -12.5
3750-12.5
3737.5 minutes to fill the pool.
3720/60 = 62
17.5/60 = .292
62.292 hours to fill the pool.
p.s. you have a really slow hose.
Its good you didn't wait for it to fill, you would have died from lack of water before then if you just sat and waited.

A. integers, c. integers rationals, and d. integers rationals reals. it would not be a natural number, because a natural number is a positive number (and sometimes 0)
Answer:
<h2><em>
$23.5</em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Gene is playing a game with a bag of marbles. If 3 of the marbles are blue, 4 are green, and 7 are yellow and awarded prices for the marbles are $2 green $0.5 yellow $4 blue, the expected payout for Gens game is expressed as shown;
If a blue marble costs $4, 3 blue marbles will cost 3*$4 = $12
If a green marble costs $2, 4 green marbles will cost 4*$2 = $8.0
If a yellow marble costs $0.5, 7 yellow marbles will cost 7*$0.5 = $3.5
Total payout for Gene's game will be the equivalent to $12+ $8 + $3.5 = $23.5.
<em>Hence Gene expected cost will be $21.5</em>
