The estimated increase, in inches, of a boy's height each year is 3 inches.

What are mathematical model?

A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling.

Now the given model to estimate the height h of a boy, in inches, in terms of the boy's age a, in years is,

h = 3a + 28.6

Now age between 2 and 5 the height is given as,

At age 2 years,

h₂ = 3*2 + 28.6 = 34.6 inches

At age 3 years,

h₃ = 3*3 + 28.6 = 37.6 inches

At age 4 years,

h₄ = 3*4 + 28.6 = 40.6 inches

At age 5 years,

h₅ = 3*5 + 28.6 = 43.6 inches

Thus, increase in height per year

h₅-h₄ = 43.6 - 40.6 = 3 inches

h₄-h₃ = 40.5 - 37.6 = 3 inches

h₃-h₂ = 37.6 - 34.6 = 3 inches

Thus, h₅-h₄ = h₄-h₃ = h₃-h₂ = 3 inches

Thus, she estimated increase, in inches, of a boy's height each year is 3 inches.

Solve for x: -8x -14 = 7(-2-14x)+4x
Solution 1
1. Distribute the 7 into the parenthesis.
2. Combine like terms on each side.
3. Move the x over to one side by adding 8.
4. Divide by 8 to get x alone
Solution 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x -14 = 7(-2-14x)+4x

-8x - 14 = 7*-2 - 7*14 +4x

-8x - 14 = -14 - 98x +4x

-8x - 14 = -14 -  94x

-8x + 94x = -14 +14

Question
Of all the fish in a certain river, 20 percent are salmon. Once a year, people can purchase a fishing license that allows them to catch up to 8 fish. Assume each catch is independent. Which of the following represents the probability of needing to catch 8 fish to get the first salmon
Solution 1

The probability of catching the first salmon out of 8 fish is 0.0419.

Given information:

Once a year, people can purchase a fishing license that allows them to catch up to 8 fish.

Each catch is independent. (independent events)

The probability of fishing a salmon in a certain river is 20 percent or 0.2.

 

Now, the probability of not getting a salmon will be 80% or 0.8.

So, the first fish should be salmon and the others should not be salmon. So, the required probability of independent events can be calculated as,

P=0.2\times0.8\times0.8\times0.8\times0.8\times0.8\times0.8\times0.8\\P=0.0419

Therefore, the probability of catching the first salmon out of 8 fish is 0.0419.

Solution 2

Answer:

The probability of needing to catch 8 fish to get the first salmon is

(0.8)⁷ * 0.2 or 4.2% (rounding to two decimal places)

Correct statement and question:

Options were not provided, we looked for them either at brainly or other site, but we didn't find them. We will answer the problem without using any additional source, just the information provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to solve the question correctly:

Probability of fishing a salmon in a certain river = 20% or 1/5

Number of fishes allowed per fishing license = 8

Each catch is an independent event

2. Which of the following represents the probability of needing to catch 8 fish to get the first salmon?

Let's recall that the probability for independent events is:

P(A) * P(B)

Now, if the probability of fishing a salmon is 20%, the probability of NOT fishing a salmon is (100% - 20%) = 80%

Let's convert the percent to decimal.

80% = 0.8 and 20% = 0.2

If we need to catch 8 fishes to get the first salmon, we can find out the probability of 7 catches not fishing a salmon and the 8th, catching finally a salmon, this way:

P = 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.8 * 0.2

P = (0.8)⁷ * 0.2

P = 0.2097152 * 0.2

P = 0.042 (rounding to two decimal places)

P = 4.2%

Question
Solve for x: -8x -14 = 7(-2-4x) +4 I haven’t worked these in over three decades so seem to be forgetting something important. Trying to help my daughter.
Solution 1

Answer:

x=8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

All right, this is a basic algebra problem and the goal is to isolate x.

First you distribute: -8x-14=-14-28x+4

Then, combine like terms: -8x-14=-10-28x

Add 28x and add 14 to both sides to isolate x: 20x=4

Now divide by 20 on both sides: x=4/20 or 1/5

Margo can purchase tile at a store for $0.69 per tile and rent a tile saw for $32. At another store she can borrow the tile saw for free if she buys tiles there for $1.49 per tile. How many tiles must she buy for the cost to be the same at both stores?
Solution 1

Answer:

32 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

32+0.69*n= 32.69

32.69*n= 32.69n-0.69

Question
Mrs. Tatum needs to share 3 grams of glitter equally among 8 art students. How many grams of glitter will each student get?
Solution 1

Each student will get 375 milligrams of glitter.

Given,

Quantity of glitter is 3 gram.

The number of arts students is 8.

We have to share the glitter between eight art students equally.

Since Mrs. Tatum needs to share the  glitter  equally among  art students,So divide 3 gram by 8,

\dfrac{3}{8} =0.375 grams.

Since 1 gram consist of 1000 milligrams.

Or we can convert it into smaller unit,

So, 0.375 gram is equivalent to 375 milligram.

Hence each art student will get 375 milligrams of glitter.

2. Elsie buys t-shirts for $6 each and marks up the price by 45%. How much profit does she make from each t-shirt sale?
Solution 1

Answer:

$2.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Elsie is selling the shirt for 45% more than she paid for it. So, you would multiply 6, the initial cost of the shirt times 0.45, which would get you 2.7 or $2.70.

Since we can see that she would be selling the shirt for $8.70 but she loses $6 to represent the shirt's initial cost (8.70-6), then we can see that she makes $2.70 for each shirt sale.

Solution 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Increase in price = 45% of $6

=\frac{45}{100}*6=2.7

She made $2.70 from each shirt
