The linear equation of relating two objects can be written in the form,
                                    y = ax + b 
Our x is the number of passenger and y is the weight (in tons). Using the first two conditions,
                                    10 = 60(a) + b
                                     13 = 84(a) + b
The values of a and b from the equations are 0.125 and 2.5. 
For 50-passenger bus,
                                    y = (50)(0.125) + 2.5
The value of y is 8.75.

A baseball player has 39 hits in 134 times at bat. how many hits must he get in the next 46 times at bat to finish the year with
faust18 [17]

Answer:

He must get 33 hits in his next 46 times at bat to finish the year with a .400 batting average

Step-by-step explanation:

The player has already batted 134 times and will still bat 46 times. So in the end of the year, he is going to have 134 + 46 = 180 at bats.

How many hits does he need to have to hit .400?

This is 40% of 180, which is 0.4*180 = 72.

He has already 39 hits, so in his next 46 at bats, he will need 72 - 39 = 33 hits.

Henry is asked to find the exact value of cos 10pi/3. His steps are shown below.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

<em>A) The reference angle should be </em><u><em>\frac{\pi }{3},</em></u><em> and the sign of the value should be </em><u><em>negative.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(\frac{10\pi }{3})

Remove full rotations of 2π until the angle is between 0 and 2\pi.

cos(\frac{4\pi }{3})

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because cosine is negative in the third quadrant.

 -cos(\frac{\pi }{3})

The exact value of cos(\frac{\pi }{3}) is \frac{1}{2}.

−\frac{1}{2}

Carolyn is using the table to find 360% of 15. What values do X and Y represent in her table? Percent Total 100% 100% 100% 20% 2
asambeis [7]

Answer:   c

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the percent breakdown of 360%.

100% 100% 100% 20%20%20%

15.       15.      15.    3.     3.     3.

100% is all of it, so 15. This is x.

20% of it would be calculated as 0.2 x 15 or 3. This is y.

Find the solution of 3.75x +15 = 63.75
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The answer is x = 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, move the constant to the right and change its sign, (+15)

3.75 x = 63.75 -15

next, subtract the numbers, (65.75 -15)

3.75x = 48.75

then, divide both sides of the equation by 3.75,

final answer, x = 13
