18b - 24c because you multiply the outside with everything inside
28 trucks/7 hours=4 trucks/1 hour.
Therefore A.) and B.) are incorrect.
The wording of these last two answers confusesme but I believe the correct one is D.) because 1 hour (per-/) 4 trucks.
Hope this helps!
I found a similar problem to your problem here, which is shown in the attached picture. So, from the picture, we have to find the equation for the red line. All we have to do is find two points of the line. That would be: Point 1(2,0) and Point 2(-2,3). The general equation would be:
y - y₁ = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) * (x - x₁)
Substituting the coordinates to the equation,
y - 0 = (3-0)/(-2 - 2) * (x - 2)
y = -3(x -2)/4
Rearranging,
<em>4y = -3x + 6 or 4y + 3x = 6</em>
<span>The number of dollars collected can be modelled by both a linear model and an exponential model.
To calculate the number of dollars to be calculated on the 6th day based on a linear model, we recall that the formula for the equation of a line is given by (y - y1) / (x - x1) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) = (1, 2) and (x2, y2) = (3, 8)
The equation of the line representing the model = (y - 2) / (x - 1) = (8 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 6 / 2 = 3
y - 2 = 3(x - 1) = 3x - 3
y = 3x - 3 + 2 = 3x - 1
Therefore, the amount of dollars to be collected on the 6th day based on the linear model is given by y = 3(6) - 1 = 18 - 1 = $17
To calculate the number of dollars to be calculated on the 6th day based on an exponential model, we recall that the formula for exponential growth is given by y = ar^(x-1), where y is the number of dollars collected and x represent each collection day and a is the amount collected on the first day = $2.
8 = 2r^(3 - 1) = 2r^2
r^2 = 8/2 = 4
r = sqrt(4) = 2
Therefore, the amount of dollars to be collected on the 6th day based on the exponential model is given by y = 2(2)^(5 - 1) = 2(2)^4 = 2(16) = $32</span>
