Devon has 14 steel balls of equal weight. If he puts 8 of them in one pan of a balance, and the rest along with a weight of 20 g

rams in the other pan, the pans balance each other. Which equation can be used to find the weight of each steel ball?
A) 8x = 26x
B) 8x = 120x
C) 8x + 20 = 6x

D) 8x = 6x + 20

Its D because lets just say 1 ball steel is 10 grams so it be 80 grams total 14 -8 gives you 6 and they are 60 grams total.when you add the 60 and 20 grams you get 80 so its D

Answer:

D)8x=6x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

For the pans to balance each other they must have both equal weight on them, this can be described in an equation like this:

Weight on side A=Weight on side B

It is described for us the weight on each side:

-The weight on side A will be the weight of 1 ball eight times( because we have 8 balls of the same weight). Lets say the weight of one ball is x so it will be like this:

Weight on side A=8x

-The weight on side B will be the weight of 1 ball 6 times (becasue we have 6 balls of the same weight) plus 20 grams that we added to balance the pans and make them equal so it will be like this:

Weight on side B=6x+20

Now replacing on the first eqation we would have:

8x=6x+20

In the year 1995, there were 1200 students at pine elementary school. In the year 2010 there were 1500 students. Find the rate o
AnnZ [28]

The rate of change from 1995 to 2010 is 20 students per year and the linear function that models the data will be: y=20x-38700

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

In the year 1995, there were 1200 students and in the year 2010, there were 1500 students.

If x represents the year and y represents the number of students, then two points in form of (x,y) will be: (1995, 1200) and (2010, 1500)

So, the rate of change or slope = (change in value of y / change in value of x) =\frac{1500-1200}{2010-1995}= \frac{300}{15}=20

Now, plugging  slope(m) = 20 and first point (x_{1}, y_{1}) =(1995,1200)  into <u>point slope form of linear equation</u> y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1}) , we will get.....

y-1200=20(x-1995)\\ \\ y-1200=20x-39900\\ \\ y= 20x-39900+1200\\ \\ y= 20x-38700
