The water level of a river is 170feet. The river recedes 4 feet each year. Ingrid claims that the equation that represents this scenario is y=170x-4. Is her equation correct?

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y = mx + b, which is the form Ingrid's equation is in, the m stands for the rate of change. If the water level is decreasing, the rate at which it is decreasing is what goes in for m. The "b" of that equation indicates the starting height of the water, which is 170. The equation should be:

y = -4x + 170, negative because the water is decreasing.

the amount you'd have after the work is $1.55

step-by-step explanation:

you subtract 95% from $31.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
