Answer:
m = y2 - y1 / 2 - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe it is asking you to plug in the numbers into the equation.
Answer:
R = -8 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll solve the given equation for R.
Subtract 3 1/2 from both sides of the equation, to isolate R:
R + 3 1/2 - 3 1/2 = -4 2/3 - 3 1/2, or
R = -4 2/3 - 3 1/2
The LCD here is 6, which is the product of 3 and 2. Converting the fractions to denominator 6, we get:
R = -4 4/6 - 3 3/6, or
R = -7 - 7/6, or R = -7 - 1 1/6, or -8 1/6
Answer: it will take 9 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rain is falling at the rate of 1.5 inches per hour. This means that the height of water in the barrel is increasing in arithmetic progression.
The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + d(n - 1)
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = 18 inches
d = 1.5 inches
The expression becomes
Tn = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
For the number of hours it would take to collect 30 inches of rain in the barrel, Tn = 30
Therefore,
30 = 18 + 1.5(n - 1)
1.5(n - 1) = 30 - 18
1.5(n - 1) = 12
n - 1 = 12/1.5 = 8
n = 8 + 1
n = 9
Perimeter of a square: side length * 4, since squares have equal side lengths
Take 2x - 3 for the side length and plug it into the formula.
(2x - 3) * 4 can be rewritten as 4(2x - 3)
Distribute 4 inside the parentheses.
8x - 12 = perimeter of the square
