During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 29 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her descent at a rate of 29 feet

per minute. Enter an inequality you could solve to find the number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 81 feet below the ocean surface. Use t to represent the variable for the minutes Lainey can continue to descend.

Answer:

Her initial position was:

-29ft

Where we use the minus sign because this is below the ocean's surface.

Now we also know that she keeps descending at a rate of -29ft per minute, then if she keeps descending for t minutes, her position will be:

P(x) = -29ft - 29ft/min*t

Now, we also know that she does not want to descend more than 81ft below the ocean's surface, then we have the inequality:

P(x) ≥ -81ft

-29ft - 29ft/min*t ≥ -81ft

Now let's isolate t in one side:

- 29ft/min*t ≥ -81ft + 29ft = -52 ft

- 29ft/min*t ≥-52 ft

                t ≤ -52ft/(- 29ft/min) = 1.79 min

Then the maximum amount of time that she can keep descending is 1.79 minutes.

Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (-8, 2) and is perpendicular to a line with a slope of -8
Schach [20]

Answer:

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is -8.  That means the slope of any line perpendicular to the given line will be the negative reciprocal of -8, which would be (1/8).

Then the desired equation is

y - 2 = (1/8)(x + 8)

(5x-25)+(3x+9)=180 please answer right now
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

x=24.5\\

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

(5x-25)+(3x+9)+180

Combine like terms:

(5x+3x)+(-25+9)=180

Add:

8x-16=180

Add 16 to both sides:

8x=196

Divide both sides by 8:

x=24.5\\

So, our answer is 24.5 :)

You are applying fertilizer to a football field. The field is 360 feet long and 160 feet wide. You use 8 pounds of fertilizer pe
Assoli18 [71]

Answer: 10 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must calculate the field area. Assuming it is a rectangle then its area equals the product of its length times its width

A =360*160\\\\A = 57600 ft^2

You use 8 pounds of fertilizer per 1,000 square feet

So the amount of fertilizer you should use is:

57,600 ft^2 * \frac{8\ pounds}{1,000\ ft^2} = 460.8\ pounds

As the fertilizer comes in bags of 50 pound then you need

460.8\ pounds * \frac{1\ bag}{50\ pounds} = 9.2\ bags

Since you can not buy 9.2 bags then we round up to the next whole number.

Finally you need 10 bags of fertilizer
