Answer:

  • Grayson had 10 inches of snow in his lawn
  • the snow falls at a constant rate of 0.5 inches per hour
  • no snow was melting
  • the snow has fallen for 3 hours  

Let y be the height of the snow in the lawn

Grayson had 10 inches at the beginning (at t=0) so y= 10

3 hours passed so y= 10 + 3*0.5 = 11.5 inches

Grayson had 11.5 inches after three hours

Assuming that the snow continued to fall for an unkhown time t

y = 0.5*t + 10

we had 10 at the beginning so we add 10 (+10)

the snow is growing by 0.5 inches in the single hour so we multiply by 0.5

t is the time and it can 4, 5, 6 ...... hours

Just like a function :

  • 0.5 is the slope
  • t is the variable
  • 10 is the y-intercept

Ksenya-84 [330]

\bf \textit{perimeter of a rectangle}\\\\ P=2(L+w)~~ \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\ ----------\\ P=168\\ w=\stackrel{\textit{6 feet longer than L}}{L+6} \end{cases}\implies 168=2(L+\stackrel{w}{L+6}) \\\\\\ 84=2L+6\implies 78=2L\implies \cfrac{78}{2}=L\implies \boxed{39=L} \\\\\\ w=39+6\implies \boxed{w=45}

Cooommmon guys help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!plz

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (5, -3) and (-2, 9). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{9-(-3)}{-2-5}=\dfrac{12}{-7}=-\dfrac{12}{7}\\\\y-(-3)=-\dfrac{12}{7}(x-5)\\\\\boxed{y+3=-\dfrac{12}{7}(x-5)}

Greeley [361]
To get from 8.4 to 10 in multiplication, we need to multiply 8.4 by 10/8.4

That means that if we multiply 30 by 10/8.4 we get the answer
which is 35,714

The same with the other
8.4 times 100/30 = 28
