A pool toy is sinking at a constant rate toward the bottom of a pool. the equation y = -5x -4 can be used to represent this situation, where y is the depth of the toy in inches below water level and x is the number of minutes the toy has been sinking. Which statement BEST describes the depth of the pool toy, given this equation? A. From a starting position of 4 inches below water level, the toy is ascending 5 inches per minute.
B. From a starting position of 4 inches below water level, the toy is descending 5 inches per minute.
C .From a starting position of 5 inches below water level, the toy is ascending 4 inches per munute.
D. From a starting position of 5 inches below sea leve, the toy is descending 4 inches per minute.

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

step-by-step explanation: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
