MISSING DETAILS

Yoko's fish tank has 17 liters of water in it. She plans to add 5 liters per minute until the tank has at least 57 liters. What are the possible numbers of minutes Yoko could add water?

Answer:

Minutes = 8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Topic: Inequality

Given:

Available Size of water = 17 liters

Increment = 5 liters/minute

Size of water needed = At least 57 liters

Putting the above together, as have

17 + 5m > 57

where m represents total minutes and > represent at least

Solving the Inequality

5m > 57 - 17

5m > 40 ------ Divide through by 5

5m/5 > 40/5

m > 8

So, Yoko will need to add water for at least 8 minutes before she fills her tank to 57 liters.

I need graph help plz ​
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

x-intercepts of the graph → x = 0, 6

Maximum value of the graph → f(x) = 120

Part B

Increasing in the interval → 0 ≤ x ≤ 3

Decreasing in the interval → 3 < x ≤ 6

As the price of goods increase in the interval [0, 3], profit increases.

But in the price interval of (3, 6] profit of the company decreases.

Part C

Average rate of change of a function 'f' in the interval of x = a and x = b is given by,

Average rate of change = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

Therefore, average rate of change of the function in the interval x = 1 and x = 3 will be,

Average rate of change = \frac{f(3)-f(1)}{3-1}

                                         = \frac{120-60}{3-1}

                                         = 30

B - (- 7) =-1<br> what is b?
irina1246 [14]

B-(-7)= -1

First negative multiply by negative is POSITIVE.

So: B+7= -1

Subtract 7 from both sides

B= -7-1

B= -8.

Answer: -8.

To Check Answer: Plug in the variable of B in the original equation.

So: -8-(-7)= -1

-8+7= -1

-1= -1

If the Solution works out the answer is right.

We can use linear combinations of the equations to eliminate variables.

3x - 4y = 1
-2x + 3y = 1

To eliminate y we'll make the linear combination of 3 times the first equation minus four times the second. 

9x - 12y = 3
-8x + 12y = 4

Adding,
x = 7

We could solve for y directly but let's use another linear combination, twice the first plus three times the second:

2(3x - 4y) + 3(-2x + 3y)= 2(1)+3(1)

y = 5

Check: 3(7)-4(5)=1 good.   -2(7)+3(5)=1 good.

Q18 Answer: (7,5)

y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3

4y +1(5x - 4y) = 4(-3x + 5) + 1(-3)

5x = -12x + 20 -3

17 x = 17

x = 1
y = -3(1) + 5 = 2
Check: 5(1) - 4(2) = -3 good

Q19 Answer (1,2)

6x + 5y = 25
x = 2y + 24
6x = 12y + 144
5y = 25 - 12y - 144
17y = -119
y = -119/17= -7
x = 2y+24= 10
Check: 6(10)+5(-7)=25 good   2y+24=2(-7)+24=10=x good

Q20 Answer (10,-7)


3x + y = 18
-7x + 3y = -10
9x  + 3y = 54
9x - -7x = 54 - -10
16x = 64
x=4
y = 18 -3x = 18-12=6

Check: 3(4)+6=18 good,  -7(4)+3(6)=-10 good

Answer:

The answer could be A) or D) because the zero acts as a place holder. Its a little easier to derive it if you have a bigger decimal
