Answer: x = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
⁴ ⁻ˣ/₅ + ˣ + 2/₃ = 6
Now resolve into fraction and convert to a linear equation
4 - x /₅ + x + 2/₃ = 6
3( 4 -x ) + 5( x + 2 )/15 = 6
3( 4 - x ) + 5( x + 2 ) = 6 x 15
12 - 3x + 5x + 10 = 90
2x + 22 = 90
2x = 90 - 22
2x = 68
x = 34
0.1 decrease in 15 minutes
unit rate is 0.1 / 15 = 0.00667
Temperature is decreasing by 0.00667 degrees Celsius per minute
You’re given that m=7 (slope is 7), so setup the slope-intercept form with that info: y = 7x + b.
Now you need to find b. Plug in (3,11) for x and y, x=3 and y=11.
11 = 7*3 + b
Notice the only variable left is b, so you’ll find b this way.
11 = 21 + b and then subtract 21 from both sides:
11 - 21 = b
-10 = b
Plug that back into the equation and you have y = 7x -10
