Anettt [7]3 years ago

Answer:

B. a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis.

3a - 12 + 1 = 9 - a

Add -12 and 1.

3a - 11 = 9 - a

Add a to both sides.

4a - 11 = 9

Add 11 to both sides.

4a = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

a = 5.

Proof:

3(a - 4) + 1 = 9 - a

Substitute variable.

3(5 - 4) + 1 = 9 - 5

Subtract inside parenthesis.

3(1) + 1 = 9 - 5

Multiply 3 and 1.

3 + 1 = 9 - 5

Add 3 and 1.

4 = 9 - 5

Subtract 5 from 9.

4 = 4.

lilavasa [31]
It was 210 cm.

The function she used is h(t) = 210 + 33t.  This is a linear function, since it is of the form f(x) = mx+b.  In a linear function, we have the slope, m, which tells us how much the height increases per year, and the y-intercept, b, which tells us how tall it was when we began measuring.  Our m value would be 33 and our b would be 210, so the original height was 210.

olga55 [171]
From the table we can conclude that after 2 minutes the height of the water is increased by 4.
Example: In minute 2 it was 8 inches, in minute 4 it was 12 inches. (12-8=4)
This means that if the height of the water is increased by 4 inches for 2 minutes, then for 1 minute is increased 4/2=2 inches.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 250 inches. if the length is 4 times as big as the width, what is the length and width of the re
yarga [219]

The length and width of the rectangle are 7.90 inches and 31.6 inches respectively

It is given that,

Let the length of the rectangle = l

Let the width of the rectangle = w

The perimeter of the rectangle = 250 inches

l x w = 250 ....eq 1

Then,

Length is 4 times as big as width

4l = w

We need to find, the length and width of the rectangle

Putting the value of w in eqn 1

We get,

4l^{2} = 250

l^{2} = 62.5

l = \sqrt{62.5}

l = 7.90

Similarly, we can get,

w = 4l

w = 4 x 7.90

w = 31.6

Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 7.90 inches and 31.6 inches respectively
