Answer:

Equation: y = 8x + 56

After 5 minutes, the volume of the water was 96 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Use y = mx + b to create the linear equation, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since the water flows in at 8 gallons per minute, 8 will be the slope. The variable x will represent the number of minutes.

There are already 56 gallons of water in the tank, so b will be 56.

Plug in these values into the equation:

y = 8x + 56

So, the linear equation is y = 8x + 56

Using this, plug in 5 as x to find the volume of the water in the sink after 5 minutes:

y = 8x + 56

y = 8(5) + 56

y = 40 + 56

y = 96

So, after 5 minutes, the volume of the water was 96 gallons

243^{-y}=(\frac{1}{243})^{3y}\times 9^{-2y} has y = 0 as a solution.

Selection B is appropriate.

Suppose that in a normal half hour of practice, a tennis player expends 280 calories of energy.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

308 Calories

Step-by-step explanation:

So we start off with 280 as usual, but I will focus on the percent. The given percent is 110% "effort". What we would need to do here is, Firstly, change the percent into a decimal, and this is done by moving the decimal spot of 110%. What I mean is that 110.% and you move that little period over 2 times to the left and also remove the percent as for now because we will not need it. After that you would get 1.10. This is what we will multiply by. So if we did 280x1.10 it equals 308, and that is how I got 308

Hope this helps!
