1. Eyeballing the data, the best fit will be pretty close to a line between the leftmost point and the rightmost point.
We estimate those points as (4,220) and (28,470)
The point point form for a line joining (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)
(28 - 4)(y - 220) = (470 - 220)(x - 4)
24(y - 220) = 250(x-4)
24y - 5280 = 250x - 1000
24y = 250 x + 4280
y = (250/24) x+ (4280/24)
Approximately that's,
y = 10.4 x + 178
Answer: 4th choice, 10.4x + 180
2. For 48 wheelbarrows,
y = 10.4(48)+180 = 679.2
Answer: 679.2 liters of sand
n = 2
distribute and simplify left side of equation
50 - 10n - 1 = 29
49 - 10n = 29 ( subtract 49 from both sides )
- 10n = 29 - 49 = - 20
n = 
= 2
Answer:
The length of shadow is 69 foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a shadow of lighthouse.
Length of top of lighthouse to end of shadow is 90 ft.
Angle make at top of lighthouse is 50°
Distance from foot of lighthouse to end of shadow is x ft.
we need to find the length of shadow i,e x ft
Using trigonometry ration:
Hence, The length of shadow is 69 foot.
X=number of girls.
y=number of boys.
We can suggest this system of equations:
2/7 x=3/5 y ⇒10x=21y ⇒x=21/10 y
y=x-165
We can solve this problem by substitution method:
x=(21/10)(x-165)
10x=21x-3465
10x-21x=-3465
-11x=-3465
x=-3465 /-11=315
y=x-165=315-165=150
Number of children=number of girls + number of boys
Number of children=315 +150=465
Answer: there were 465 children at the festival.
Divide $9.56 by 4 to get the answer
9.56/4=2.39
