Answer 1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours.

We have been given that a vat contains 18 gallons of liquid when a drain pipe opens and the liquid begins to leave the vat at a rate of 4 gallons per hour.

To graph the amount of liquid first of all we will find the equation of line for our given situation.

Since we know that equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:  y=mx+b, where, m = slope and b = y-intercept or initial value.

As liquid is leaving the vat at a rate of 4 gallons per hour, this means that amount of liquid in vat in decreasing 4 gallons per hour. As slope is also known as rate of change, so slope of our given line will be -4. A negative slope means that with each increase in x our y will decrease by 4.

As initially there were 18 gallons of liquid in vat, so our y-intercept will be 18.  

Upon substituting our given values in slope-intercept form of equation we will get,

y=-4x+18

Let us find x-intercept by substituting y=0 in our equation.

0=-4x+18

4x=18

(4x)/(4)=(18)/(4)

x=4.5

Now we will draw a line connecting our y-intercept and x-intercept from (0,18) to (4.5,0).  

Please find the attachment for the graph of the given line.

trevor needs a new bicycle tire. his tire has a circumference of 112 inches. what is the diameter of his tire.?

Answers

First, you take the equation of the circumference of a circle which is: C=2πr
Next, you would plug in what you have.  So right now you have the circumference. So 112=2πr.
Last what you would do is divide each side by πr so you would end up getting:
112/2π=r
By doing that equation, you would get the radius so you would just multiply your answer by 2.

The diameter is 351.86 inches

Find the exact solution to the equation. Show your work. 4^(12-4x) = 256

Hello,

4^(12-4x)=256\n ==\ \textgreater \ \ 2^(24-8x)=2^8\n ==\ \textgreater \ \ 24-8x=8\n ==\ \textgreater \ 8x=16\n ==\ \textgreater \ x=2
Hi

4^(12-4x) =256
First we need to take log of both sides
log(4^-4x+12) = log (256)
(-4x + 12)(log(4)) = log(256)
so now we have
-4x + 12 = log(256)/log(4)
-4x + 12 = 4
-4x = 4 - 12
-4x = -8
x = -8/-4
x= 2

I hope that's help :)

Each marble bag sold by Melissa's Marble Company contains 3 orange marbles for every 5 blue marbles. If a bag has 24 orange marbles, how many blue marbles does it contain?

Answers

3/5=24/x. cross multiply, you get 120=3x. divide by 3, x = **40**
3:5

3 to 5

 3
-----
 5

First we will divide to see who many sets of orange there are in the bag.

24 ÷ 3 = 8

Since there are 8 sets of orange we will multiply8 by 5 since for every 3 orange marbles there are 5 blue marbles. 

8 × 5 = 40

SO, a bag contains 24 orange marbles and 40 blue marbles. 

Hope i helped ya!
