Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level.
7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72
Which statement is true about Pieter’s solution?
1. It cannot be a fraction or decimal because the depth of the well is a whole number.
2. It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.
3. It must be a negative number because the depth is below sea level.
4.It cannot be greater than –72 because that is the depth of the well.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Is this the entire question? Some of it makes no sense without a diagram or something.
To get rid of A you actually have to solve the equation.
7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72 Remove the brackets
7h - 15h + 40 = - 72 Combine the like terms
- 8h + 40 = - 72 Subtract 40 from both sides
- 8h = -112 Divide by -8
h = 14
Well the depth is a whole number so A is true.
We don't know anything about time. But the answer is positive.
C is false because B is true.
We don't know exactly what the depth of the well is.
I would pick A, but you need the entire question.

A line passes through the point (-4, 7) and has a slope of -5/4
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.
Answer:
[tex]y=-\frac{5}{4} x+2.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) slope-interception form is: y=s*x+i, where 's' and 'i' are slope and interception;
2) according to the condition s= -5/4, then the required equation is: y= -5/4 *x +i, where i - interception;
3) if to substitute (-4;7) into the required equation y= -5/4 *x +i, it is possible to calculate 'i':
7= -5/4*(-4)+i; ⇒i=2, then
[tex]4) \ finally, \ y=-\frac{5}{4}x+2.[/tex]

Trey bought a football on sale for 15% off of $45. Evan bought the same football at a different store for 25% off of $54. Who received the better deal? Explain.
a. How much did Trey spend on a football?
b. How much did Evan spend on a football?
c.
Who got the better deal?
Answer:
a. $38.25, b.$40.5, c. Trey
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage can also be represented as a proportion out of 1; for example, 30 percent is .30, and 100 percent will be 1.00.
a. If Trey is paying 15 percent off a price, that means he is still paying 85 percent, and recall what I said earlier, about 85 percent is a .85 proportion. So now we multiply the price by the proportion he is paying .85*45 = $38.25
b. We want to do the same process we did in part a. So we have 1 - .25 =.75 to get the proportion of the original price Evan will be paying. Now we multiply .75*54 = $40.50.
c. Trey got the better deal because he ended up paying less; hence $38.25 is less than that of $40.50

5x + 3y = 41
2x + 3y = 20
show me step by steps how to do this
The answers are:
x = 7y = 2Step-by-step explanation:5x + 3y = 41
2x + 3y = 20
=> 5x + 3y = 41-2x - 3y = -20
=> 3x = 21=> x = 7=> 5(7) + 3y = 41=> 35 + 3y = 41=> 3y = 41 - 35=> 3y = 6=> y = 2Conclusion:Therefore, the answers are:
x = 7y = 2Hoped this helped

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you need to solve this system of equations.
That means we need to find a value for x and a value for y that makes both equations true.
Since both equations have a 3y in them, this system is ready to use a method called "elimination method"
Since the x terms are lined up, and the y terms are lined up, the equal signs are lined up, and the constants are lined up...you can subtract the bottom equation from the top equation.
5x + 3y = 41
2x + 3y = 20
Subtract and you will get
3x + 0y =21
We don't need to write that 0y, because it is 0.
3x = 21, now divide by 3
x = 7, almost finished!
Use x = 7 in either of the original equations to find y.
5x + 3y = 41 and x = 7
5•7+ 3y = 41
35 + 3y = 41
-35 -35
3y =6
y = 2
So the solution is x=7 and y=2
That can also be written as an ordered pair (7, 2)

A couple can afford to make a monthly mortgage payment of $700. If the mortgage rate is 2% and the couple intends to secure a 30-year mortgage, how much can they borrow?
========================================================
Explanation:
r = 0.02 = decimal form of 2% annual interesti = monthly interest ratei = r/12 = 0.02/12 = (2/100)/12 = 1/600.n = number of months = 12*30 = 360P = monthly payment = 700We'll plug those items into the formula below.
L = loan amount
L = P*( (1+i)^n - 1)/( i*(1+i)^n )
L = 700*( (1+1/600)^360 - 1 )/( 1/600*(1+1/600)^360 )
L = 189,383.961539639
L = 189,383.96
The couple can afford to borrow at most $189,383.96

It will take 2 hours for the ambulance to pass the police car.
Given that a police car leaves a crime scene heading east directly towards the hospital at 72 kilometers per hour, and an ambulance leaves a quarter of an hour later and also heads directly east towards the hospital at 81 kilometers per hour, to determine how long will it take for the ambulance to pass the police car, the following calculation must be performed:
72 x 0.25 = 18 81 - 72 = 9 18/9 = 2 72 x 0.25 + 72 x 2 = 162 81 x 2 = 162
Therefore, it will take 2 hours for the ambulance to pass the police car.

Given ALMN * AQRS, MZM = 26°, and m2Q = 58°, what is the measure of 2S?
96°
26°
58°
Answer:
96°
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you intend ...
ΔLMN ~ ΔQRS
Then corresponding angles have the same measure:
∠M = ∠R = 26°
∠L = ∠Q = 58°
∠N = ∠S = 180° -26° -58° = 96° . . . . sum of a triangle's angles is 180°
The measure of angle S is 96°.

what is the value of x
Answer:
x = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
this is an equilateral triangle where all sides measure the same value; therefore, 2x-4 = 5y
since we are solving for 'x' we can set up this equation:
3(2x-4) = 180
6x - 12 = 180
6x = 192
x = 32
