The water level of a river is 170 feet. The river recedes 4 feet each year. Ingrid claims that the equation that represents this

Vladimir [108]

Sample Answer: No, Ingrid is incorrect. The initial value in the scenario is 170 feet, which represents the y − intercept. Receding 4 feet in the scenario represents the rate of change, which is the slope. In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents the y−intercept, so the correct equation is y = −4x + 170.

michael wittry has been investing inhis roth IRA retirement account for 20 years. Two years ago his account was worth $215,658.

Over [174]

Let's say

a = 215,658

ok... so.. he first lost 1/3 of that

$\bf \textit{\underline{lost} }\frac{1}{3}a\qquad \qquad a-\cfrac{1}{3}a\implies a-\cfrac{a}{3}\implies \cfrac{3a-a}{3}\implies \cfrac{2a}{3}
\\\\\\
\textit{then he \underline{gained} }\frac{1}{2}\textit{ of }\frac{2a}{3}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{\frac{2a}{3}}{2}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2a}{3}}{\frac{2}{1}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{2a}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{2a}{3}+\cfrac{2a}{6}\implies \cfrac{4a+2a}{6}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{6a}{6}\implies \boxed{a}\implies 215,658$

so, his nickname might just be even steven, because, he ended up with the same original amount after the 1/2 bump.
