Answer:

m ≥- 28 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

–5(m + 1) ≤ 23

Distribute

-5m -5 ≤ 23

Add 5 to each side

-5m -5+5 ≤ 23+5

-5m ≤ 28

Divide each side by -5, remembering to flip the inequality

-5m/-5 ≥ 28 / -5

m ≥- 28 / 5

Scenarios B, D, and F require a police officer. In scenario B, 1:00-2:00pm, and scenario F, 5:00-6:00pm, there are 24 cars. In scenario D, 3:00-4:00pm, there are 21 cars. Both 24 and 21 are greater than 17, so a traffic officer is needed. However, in other scenarios, the number of cars are all less than 17, and no officer is needed.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

51,200 divided by 52. (52 weeks in a year.) 984.615385 is answer. So each week he gets paid $984.62. So then we multiply that by 3 since we are finding 40% of 3 weeks of pay. $984.62x3= $2953.86. Then we multiply that by 40%.. $2953.86x40%= Answer is $11181.54

A car traveled at a constant speed. The graph shows how far the car traveled, in miles, during a given amount of time, in hours.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A car traveled at a constant speed as shown in the graph.

Distance traveled is on the y-axis and duration of travel on the x-axis.

Point A(3.5, 210) shows,

Distance traveled = 210 miles

Time to travel = 3.5 hours

So the point (3.5, 210) shows the distance traveled by the car in 3.5 hours is 210 miles.

Slope of the line = speed of the car = $\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time}}$

= $\frac{210}{3.5}$

= 60 mph

Now we will find the speed of the car at another point B(1, 60).

If the speed of car is same as the point B as of point A, point B will lie on the graph.

Speed of the car at B(1, 60) = $\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time}}$

= $\frac{60}{1}$

= 60 mph

Hence, we can say that point B(1, 60) lies on the graph.

You pull out the plug from the bathtub. After 40 seconds, there are 13 gallons of water left in the tub. One minute after you pu

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

g = -3/20s + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume this is a function

The points are

(40, 13) and (60, 10)

Since it is linear relation, we'll get the slope intercept form

g = ms + b, where g- number of gallons, s- time in seconds, b- y intercept

Using the points, let's calculate the formula

m = (10 - 13)/(60 - 40) = -3/20
10 = -3/20*60 + b
10 = - 9 + b
b = 19

So the formula is:

g = -3/20s + 19
