Answer:
2 tons of dirt per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
helpful to know: 1/6 hours = 10 minutes
you can create a proportion to find unit rate by using (tons of dirt ÷ time)
we'll use 'd' to represent amount of dirt and use minutes
1/3÷10 = d/60
1/3÷10 = 1/3 × 1/10 = 1/30
we now have:
1/30 = d/60
we can cross-multiply to get:
30d = 60
d = 2
A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
Answer:
Step one identify the two points on the line in the graph
Example: (0,2) ( 2,1)
Step two calculate the vertical change from one point to the next
Step three write the ratio vertical change over horizontal change
Example (-1/2 )
