Answer:

Equation: 300x+425y= 6500 (if you assume that you would get an exact total)

Answer: Yes, 11 refridgerators and 9 pianos will overload the truck because 11x300=3,300 and 9x425=3,825 which in total equals 7,125, which is way too much for the truck.

An equation that works: 300(10)+425(8)=

Step-by-step explanation:

If each refrigerator is 300 pounds and we need to see if 11 would fit on the truck, multiply 300 times 11 which equals 3,300. Next repeat the same step but for the pianos… 425 times 9 which equals 3,825 now you add. You should get 7,125, meaning this ratio is way to large for the truck to carry.

Since this does not work we should try take away one of each. So let’s say the new rati is 10 refrigerators to 8 pianos. We would repeat the same steps from above. 10x300=3,000       8x425=3,400

If we add these, we get 6,400 so the final expression would be 300(10)+425(8)=6,400 which would be the closest the the most you can transport on the truck.

Sorry if this was not the answer you were looking for, I may have misinterpreted the question.

What is the value of x when the richter scale rating scale is 8.4?
Vsevolod [243]

The value of x when the richter scale rating scale is 8.4 is 251188643.151

<h3>What is a richter scale?</h3>

A richter scale is a numerical scale that is used for expressing the magnitude of an earthquake in a geographical area

<h3>How the richter scale works?</h3>

The richter scale takes the amplitude of the earthquake's largest seismic as an input and calculate (and display) the magnitude of an earthquake in the geographical area using a logarithmic function

<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>

The formula of a richter scale is expressed as:

log(x) = n

Where n represents the scale rating of the scale

In this case, n = 8.4.

So, we have:

log(x) = 8.4

Express as an exponent

x = 10^8.4

Evaluate the exponent

x = 251188643.151

Hence, the value of x when the richter scale rating scale is 8.4 is 251188643.151

An equation for annealing soda-lime glass is y(t)=−14t+500 , where t is time in minutes and y is the temperature of the glass in
beks73 [17]

An equation for annealing soda-lime glass is y(t)=−14t+500 , where t is time in minutes and y is the temperature of the glass in ˚C.

To find the y intercept , we plug in 0 for t

y intercept is the value , where time is 0 minutes

so we plug in 0 for t  and find out y(0)

y(t)=−14t+500

y(0)=−14(0)+500 = 500

When t=0 , the value of y = 500

So , y intercept is (0,500)
