Wendy is told ahead of time that she will need to purchase about 12 gallons of paint in order to cover the entire house.
a. write equivalent ratios to determine the amount of green and
white paint she will need to purchase.
b. if there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon, how many quarts of paint does
she need to purchase?

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.

option (a)

step-by-step explanation:

step 1:   take 2 number whose product equal to 25..

and sum of those two number are -10

step: 2 for example here if we take 5,5 are the number,,

5*5=25

and

5+5=10

but we need -10

so if we take   -5,-5

so -5*-5=25

and -5+(-5)=-10

s0

come the equation

replace -10x by these number

like -5x -5x+25

take common

x(x-5)-5(x-5)=0

(x-5)(x-5)=0
