Steps:
let “x” be number of hrs
let “y” be total cost
Abe:
50x + 75 = y
Plumbing Service:
65x=y
Since both equations are equal to y, you can set them equal to each other.
65x = 50x + 75
isolate for x:
65x - 50x = 75
15x = 75
x = 5
therefore it will take 5 hours for each to cost the same. you should call Abe for any task more than 5 hours because it will be cheaper and you should call the Plumbing Service for any task less than 5 hours because it will be cheaper.
The answer
the table is
x 0 1 4 5 7
y 3 1 0 -2 -2
<span>the approximate line of best fit to be y = –0.7x + 2.36
so when the value of x=5, the residual value is
</span><span>y = –0.7(5) + 2.36 = -1.14 this is the actual value
the predicted value is -2 (for x=5)
and residual value formula is RS = y actual value - y predicted value
so RS = -1.14 - (-2) = 0.86

See attached picture and check solution below.
We are given with the following values:
A = length of transmission line = 96ft
B = length of shadow = 72 feet
C = distance of ladder to base of transmission line = 66 feet
Solve for angle created between the wire and tip of the shadow:
tan x = opposite/ adjacent
tan x = 96 feet / 72 feet
x = 53.13°
Solving for the height of the ladder:
tan x = Ladder length / (72-66)
tan 53.13° * (72-66) = ladder length
ladder length = 8 feet
The answer is letter "B" which is 8 feet.
The <span>ratio of adam's height to sam's height is 4:3. Therefore, Sam's height is 3/4 of adam's height. This is done by applying rules on ratios. We do as follows:
4 / 3 = adam's height / sam's height
sam's height = (3/4) adam's height
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
No, it's the same activity so it couldn't be about the activity type. The cost varies by day.
