Answer:

During the span of 9 days, the water level of lake decreased by 18 inches.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

For 8 hot days, the water level decreased in a lake at rate of 3 inches per day.

Then on day 9, there was a storm that increased the water level by 6 inches.

Total drop in water level in lake =

\text{Number of days}\times \text{Rate of drop in water level per day}\\= 8\times 3\text{inches per day}\\=24\text{ inches}

Expression for the change in the water level =

\text{Increase in water level in 9 days} - \text{Decrease in water level during 9 days}\\=6 - 24\\ = -24 + 6 = -18\text{ inches}

Hence, during the span of 9 days, the water level of lake decreased by 18 inches.

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 29 students, 7 of them play basketball and 14 of them
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

<em>Two possible answers below</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability and Sets</u>

We are given two sets: Students that play basketball and students that play baseball.

It's given there are 29 students in certain Algebra 2 class, 10 of which don't play any of the mentioned sports.

This leaves only 29-10=19 players of either baseball, basketball, or both sports. If one student is randomly selected, then the propability that they play basketball or baseball is:

\displaystyle P=\frac{19}{29}

P = 0.66

Note: if we are to calculate the probability to choose one student who plays only one of the sports, then we proceed as follows:

We also know 7 students play basketball and 14 play baseball. Since 14+7 =21, the difference of 21-19=2 students corresponds to those who play both sports.

Thus, there 19-2=17 students who play only one of the sports. The probability is:

\displaystyle P=\frac{17}{29}

P = 0.59

Cameron's uncle is 3 times old as he is. 4 years ago, he was 4 times older. How old is Cameron?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Let Cameron be x years old now.

-

<u>Now:</u>

Cameron = x

Uncle =3x

-

<u>4 years ago:</u>

Cameron = x - 4

Uncle = 3x - 4

-

<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>

3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)

-

<u>Find x:</u>

3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)

3x - 4 = 4x - 16

4x - 3x = 16 - 4

x = 12

-

<u>Find the age:</u>

Cameron = x = 12

-

Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.
