Excited about the success of celebrity stamps, post office officials were rumored to have put forth a plan to institute two new types of thermometers. on these new scales, degrees°e represents degrees elvis and degrees°m represents degrees madonna. if it is known that 30degrees°eequals=25degrees°m, 310degrees°eequals=125degrees°m, and degrees elvis is linearly related to degrees madonna, write an equation expressing e in terms of m.

E=2.8 m-40

Step-by-step explanation:

We konw that  30°E=25°M and 310°E=125°M

so if we want to write an ecuation that linearly relates E with M, we can use the formula of the line that crosses two points:

Y-y1= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)*(X-x1)

In thts case:

so

E-E1= (E2-E1)/(M2-M1)* (M-M1)

E-30 = (310-30)/(125-25)*(M-25)

E-30 =280/100 *(M-25)

E-30 =2.8 M- 280*25/100

E-30 =2.8 M-70

E= 2.8 M-70+30

E=2.8 M-40

Good luck!

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
