Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown be y (x is used as times(multiplication) )

(y-17)x-6=-138

add /-6 to both sides

y-17x-6/-6=-138/-6

y-17=23

make y independent/add 17 to both sides

y-17+17=23+17

y=40

or in an easier way

-138/-6 =23

23+17=40

Construct a residual plot of the amount of money in a person’s bank account and their age that would indicate a linear model.
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The regression line is not a good model because there is a pattern in the residual plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a  residual plot for a data set

The residual plot shows scatter plot of x and y

The plotting of points show that there is not likely to be a linear trend of relation between the two variables. It is more likely to be parabolic or exponential.

Hence the regression line cannot be a good model as they do not approach 0.

Also there is not a pattern of linear trend.

D) The regression line is not a good model because there is a pattern in the residual plot.

Hector has 3/4 hour to spend his homework. He wants to spend 1/3 of this time on math homework, 10 minutes of his time on readin
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1\ h=60\ mi

we know that

Hector has 3/4 hour to spend his homework

Convert to minutes

\frac{3}{4}(60)=45\ min

so

1) He wants to spend 1/3 of this time on math homework

To find out the time on math homework, multiply 45 minutes by 1/3

45(\frac{1}{3})=15\ min

2) He wants to spend 10 minutes of his time on reading homework

3) He wants to spend the remaining time on science homework

The time spend on math homework plus the time spend reading homework, plus the time spend on his science homework must be equal to 45 minutes

Let

x ----> the time spend on his science homework

15+10+x=45

Solve for x

25+x=45\\x=45-25\\x=20\ min
