Complete question :

a researcher compared the Heights and shoe sizes for 50 men, selected at random. The equation shown describes a line of best fit for the data, where X is the shoe size and y is the height, in inches (y=1.6x + 58)

Based on the equation, what is the approximate shoe size for a man having a height of 60 inches

Answer:

1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the regression equation :

y=1.6x + 58

X = shoe size ; y = height

Using the equation, the approximate shoe size of a man with a height of 60 will be ;

60 = 1.6x + 58

60 - 58 = 1.6x

2 = 1.6x

2/1.6 = 1.6x / 1.6

x = 2 / 1.6

x = 1.25

Hence, approximate shoe size of a man with a height of 60 will be 1.25

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

3 - 2x = -1.5x

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Add 2x on both sides:                    3 = 0.5x
  2. Divide 0.5 on both sides:               6 = x
  3. Rewrite:                                           x = 6

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in<em> x</em>:                    3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
  2. Multiply:                               3 - 12 = -9
  3. Subtract:                              -9 = -9

Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.

What is the equation of a circle centered at the origin with radius 20?
Colt1911 [192]
We know that
the equation of a circle is
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²
where 
(h,k)-----> is the center
r--------> is the radius

is the center is the point (0,0) and radius  r=20
then
(h,k) is (0,0)

(x-0)²+(y-0)²=20²---------> (x)²+(y)²=400


the answer is
the option D.)  x2 + y2 = 400

Paul is making bread using a recipe. The amount of flour he uses is proportional to the number of loaves of bread. He uses 1114
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul is making bread using a recipe. The amount of flour he uses is proportional to the number of loaves of bread. He uses 11 1/4 cups of flour to make 5 loaves of bread. If Paul used 18 cups of flour, and then sold the loaves of bread he made at a bake sale for $2.50 each, how much money would Paul make from his bread sales?

Step 1

Find out how many loaves of bread he can produce from 18 cups of flour

11 1/4 cups of flour = 5 loaves of bread

18 cups of flour = x loaves of bread

Cross Multiply

11 1/4 cups × x loaves = 18 cups × 5 loaves

x loaves = 18 cups × 5 loaves/ 11 1/4 cups

x loaves = 90 ÷ 11 1/4

x loaves = 90 ÷ 45/4

x loaves = 90 × 4/45

x loaves = 8 loaves of bread

He can produce 8 loaves of bread from 18 cups of flour.

Step 2

We are told that:

1 loaf of bread costs $2.50

Hence,

1 loaf of bread = $2.50

8 loaves of bread = $x

Cross Multiply

$x = 8 loaves of bread × $2.50

$x = $20

Therefore, Paul made $20 from his bread sales
