Starting at 1:00 p. M., The temperature changes -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. Write and solve an equation to find how many hours (x) it will take to reach -1 °F. please say the equation.

0.25 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a linear function is given by:

y = mx + b,

where y and x are variables, m is the rate of change of y with respect to x and b is the initial value of y (value of y when x = 0).

Let x represent the number of hours after 1:00 P.M and let y represent the temperature in degree Fahrenheit.

Let us assume that initial the temperature is 0°F. The temperature changes -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour. From the equation of a linear function y = mx + b:

m = -4 degrees Fahrenheit per hour, b = 0. Hence:

y = -4x

The time taken to reach -1°F is gotten by substituting y = -1 and finding x:

y = -4x

substituting:

-1 = -4x

x = -1 / -4

x = 0.25 hours

0.25 hours = 0.25 hours * 60 minute / 1 hour = 15 minute

Therefore at 1:15 P.M, the temperature is -1°F

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
