<span>Given the table that shows the hair lengths y (in inches) of your friend and her cousin in different months x.

Month      Friends Hair(in)      Cousins Hair(in)
    3                     4                              7
    8                    6.5                            9.

To solve for the cousins hair, recall that the equation of a line is given by

y = mx + c

From the table,

7 = 3m + c . . . (1)
9 = 8m + c . . . (2)

(1) - (2) ⇒ -2 = -5m
$\Rightarrow m= \frac{2}{5} =0.4$

Substituting for m into equation (1) gives:

$7=3(0.4)+c \\ \\ \Rightarrow c=7-1.2=5.8$

Therefore, the equation representing the growth of the cousin's hair is given by y = 1.2x + 5.8

Match each percent amount to its correct value. Tiles 15% of 30 30% of 45 60% of 7 23% of 20 Pairs 13.5 arrowBoth 4.5 arrowBoth

Over [174]

15% of 30....turn ur percent to a decimal...." of " means multiply
0.15(30) = 4.5

30% of 45.....set it up the same way as before
0.30(45) = 13.5

60% of 7
0.60(7) = 4.2

23% of 20
0.23(20) = 4.6
