Hi ;-)

2x ⇒ dogs

5x ⇒ cats

2x + 5x = 14

7x = 14 / : 7

x = 2

2 · 2 = 4 dogs

5 · 2 = 10 cats

For altitudes up to 36,000 feet, the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The equation for a is $a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

The altitute is 101,428.57 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the relationship between ground temperature and atmospheric temperature can be described by the formula

t = -0.0035a +g

where:

t is the atmospheric temperature in degrees Fahrenheit
a is the altitude, in feet, at which the atmospheric temperature is measured
g is the ground temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Solving the equation for a:

-0.0035a +g=t

-0.0035a= t - g

$a=\frac{t-g}{-0.0035}$

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

The equation for a is $a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(t-g)$

If the atmospheric temperature is -305 °F and the ground temperature is 50 °F, then t= -305 °F and g= 50 °F

Replacing in the equation for a you get:

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-305-50)$

$a=-\frac{2000}{7}*(-355)$

a= 101,428.57

The altitute is 101,428.57 feet

Graphing linear inequalities digital escapes puzzle 4

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1 - F

2 - B

3 - H

4 - A

Step-by-step explanation:

m = -2

b = 4

y < mx + b

y < -2x + 4

m = 1

b = -2

y < mx + b

y < 1x -2

y < x - 2

m = -4

y <= mx + b

H is the only one that follows those rules

m = 1

y >= mx + b

A is the only one that follows those rules
