You add all of them together if it’s labeled with a X.
For example, the first X is 1 hour. If it has 2 Xs it would be 2 hours, if no X is shown above, it’s zero hours.
Answer is 12 hours.
Answer:
One of the solution is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equation:
We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.
The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.
Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:
![\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20y%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5Ex%20%5C%5C%20%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%20%5C%5C%203%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%5Ccdot3%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B3%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B25%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B36%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Then, we can write the equation as:
Let m = slope = -4/5
P(x,y) = P(5,10)
Slope-intercept form for the equation of a line:
y=mx+c
Plug m= -4/5 into the slope-intercept formula
y = -4/5x + c
Plug P(5,10) into point-slope formula
y = -4/5x + c
10 = -4/5(5) + c
10 = -4 + c
substract -4 from both sides,
10 - (-4) = -4 - (-4) + c
14 = c
So, the equation is y = -4/5x + 14
First let’s convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 2 1/4 =9/4
Then u get 4(X-9/4) =-3.7
Now your gonna divide both sides by four
4(X-9/4) over 4 = -3.7 over 4
4/4 =1 …X=-9/4
-3.7/4 = -0.925
Now you’re going to add 9/4 to each side
X-9/4+9/4=-0.925 +9/4
-9/4 + 9/4 =0 (X)
Now you have just -0.925 and nine fourths
I converted 9/4 —> 2.25
Then u still have -0.925
So add 2.25+-0.925 u get ur X which is 1.325 (this is ur answer)
