The answer to this is 19. The reason why is because the median falls between 18 and 20. After that, you have to take the middle number that falls between 18 and 20. In this case, 19.
X=number of years after 2000.
y=percentage of residents (still) reads newspapers for information
initial value (= y-intercept) = percentage in 2000 = 54%
slope = increase each year = -1.7% (because it is a decrease)
the slope intercept form of the equation is therefore:
y=slope(x)+initial value, or
y=-1.7x+54 (in %)
Answer:
The first blank is 81
+9=x-1
The second blank is 9x+3=x^2-1
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first part, you must set up the equation (9x+3)^2 then you must multiply the exponent to the inside exponents 
+
next, simplify.
81+9=x-1
For part two, set up equation. 
Then simplify 9x+3= 
Step-by-step explanation:
area of trapezoid = 1/2 × (a+b) h
where a = long base
b = short base
h = height
given that, a = 8, b = 5, a of trapezoid = 104:
area of trapezoid = 1/2 × ( 8+5) h
104 = 13/2 h
104 * 2 = 13 h
13 h = 208
h = 208 / 13
h = 16.0 ft.
hope this helps you!
