Answer:

5 of the 7 boxes are 8 inches in height

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically;

1 ft = 12 inches

So, 5 ft will measure 5 * 12 = 60 inches

So from what we have ,

We want to combine 8 and 10 inches to give 60 inches total

Let the number of 10 inches be x and the number of 8 inches be y

Mathematically;

x + y = 7 •••••(i)

10x + 8y = 60 ••••(ii)

From equation i, x = 7-y

Put this in equation ii

10(7-y) + 8y = 60

70-10y + 8y = 60

70-60 = 10y-8y

2y = 10

y = 10/2

y = 5

What are 3 input and output values for the equation y=-x^2+4?
pogonyaev
Here, The function:  y = -x² + 4
Input values would be x coordinates & output values would be y.

When, x = 1, y = (-1)² + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5
x = 2, y = (-2)² + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8
x = 3, y = (-3)² + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13

In short, Your Three input values are: 1, 2, 3
Three Output values are: 5, 8, 13

Hope this helps!

The slope of the line below is 5. which of the following is the point-slope form of the lne?
irga5000 [103]
Point-slope form of a line is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is your y intercept

So, if the slope is 5, then that is your m value

y=5x+b

To find the value of b, that is just the value of where the line passes the y axis

Find the first, fourth, and eight terms of the sequence: A(n)=-5•3n-1
lys-0071 [83]
A (1)= -5×3(1)-1

a(1)= -5×3-1

a (1)= -16

A(4)= -5×3(4)-1

a (4)= -5×12-1

a( 4) = -60-1

a(4)= -61

A(8)= -5×3(8)-1

a(8)= -5×24-1

a(8)= -120-1

a(8)= -121
