I don't really understand your question, but it think it goes like this:
x-17-20=180
gather common terms
x-37=180
move 37 to other side
x=180+37
addition
x=217
A. There is a positive correlation between the temperature and the amount of ice cream sold. This means that as the temperature increases the amount of ice cream also increases.
B. For the best fit you must calculate the slope between two points that are more-or-less representative of the entire graph. In this case it seems to have already done this with certain points so if you take the points (15,35) and (0,5) you can calculate the slope between these two points which is m=(35-5)/(15-0)=30/15=2. So the best fit slope for this particular case would be two and you would just draw a line through the graph at approximately the middle of the dots to best represent all of the data.
and the y-intercept is 5 so the approximate equation for the graph would be y=2x+5
Answer:
These parallel lines cross 1 line. Because they are parallel they will form the same angles on that line. Therefore, x+50 = 3x-100 since those angles are corresponding angles made by a pair of parallels.
To find x we need to find what value of x gives the same answer for 3x-100 and x+50 since those 2 angles are equal.
x+50 = 3x-100 - now all we need to do is solve for x:
x+50 = 3x-100
50=2x-100
150=2x
75=x
x=75
Step-by-step explanation:
A is the only number line that correctly shows the locations of all given values.
Answer=A
***EDIT***
Okay, so if you look at the number line, you notice that the distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4. When we move to the left, we decrease in value. When we move to the right, we increase in value.
So, knowing that, lets look at A and see if all of the numbers are correctly placed.
1/2 should be two lines to the right of 0 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4=2/4 or 1/2)
-4 is a relatively easy value to find, since its line is labeled.
-2 3/4 should be three lines to the right of -2 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4 and if you go 3/4 to the left of -2 u get -2 3/4)
(-2-3/4=-2 3/4)
1 1/4 should be three lines behind 2 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4 and if you go 3/4 to the left of 2 you get 1 1/4)
(2-3/4=1 1/4)
The answer is -100 (10*10)- (-10*-10) - (10*10)
