Answer:

B. 25,000 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is x(tons of garbage) = 1/4y(people). In this question, the y is given (100,000). using the equation, 1/4 of 100,000 is 25,000.

spin [16.1K]

6500=7x+5000

6500-5000=7x+5000-5000

1500=7x

1500/7≈214

x≈214

y=19·214+5000

y=9066

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so the shape has an area of 60 square inches. The formula for the area of a triangle is A = b*h where A = area, b = base, and h = height

So we are given the value for A (60)

We are given the value for height (10)

So we just need to find the value of the base

So let's set this up as an equation. Input the given values into the area for triangle formula

A = B*h

60 = B * 10

So we need to solve for B. To do that we need to get B alone on one side of the = sign. B is being multiplied by 10 so do the opposite and divide both sides by 10

60 divided by 10 = 6

10 divided by 10 = 1 (don't actually put a 1 down, just drop it)

So we are left with

6 = B

So the base is 6 square inches. To test, put it in the equation:

A = B*h

60 = 6*10

60 = 60

How is a calculation of net worth different from a day-to-day or month-to-month tallying of expenses?
alina1380 [7]
The difference in tallying of expenses from a day to day and month to month is the consistency. in a day to day basis it is consistent the time for a day is 24 hrs it will not change, so you will really know why the expenses goes up or down/ unlike for a month to month it is inconsistent,, some months have 30, 31 or 28 days in a month.
