Should have ate zero if I’m not wrong
Well, if it descends 9 meters every minute, you would multiply 9 by the number of minutes in question. Since you want to know its location after 5 minutes, you would multiply 9 by 5.
9 x 5 = 45 so 45 meters after 5 minutes
Hope this helps :)
The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m - slope, b - y-intercept)
We have y = -2. It's the slope intercept form where m = 0 and b = -2.
y = -2 → y = 0x - 2
X = first venture, y = second venture, z = third venture
x + y + z = 15,000
x + z = y + 7000
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
these are ur equations.....
x + y + z = 15,000
x - y + z = 7000
--------------------add
2x + 2z = 22,000
x + y + z = 15,000....multiply by -2
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
-------------------
-2x - 2y - 2z = - 30,000 (result of multiplying by -2)
3x + 2y + 2z = 39,000
------------------add
x = 9,000
2x + 2z = 22,000
2(9000) + 2z = 22000
18,000 + 2z = 22000
2z = 22000 - 18000
2z = 4000
z = 4000/2
z = 2,000
x + y + z = 15,000
9000 + y + 2000 = 15,000
11,000 + y = 15,000
y = 15,000 - 11,000
y = 4,000
first venture (x) = 9,000 <==
second venture (y) = 4,000 <==
third venture (z) = 2,000 <==
