There are two boxes on a balance. There are an unknown number of marbles in the left-hand box, and an unknown number of marbles
in the right-hand box.
Initially, the balance looks like Figure 1.
When 22 marbles are taken from the left-hand box and placed in the right-hand box, the balance
tips over and looks like Figure 2.
When 14 marbles are then taken from the right-hand box and placed in the left-hand box, the
balance tips over and looks like Figure 1 again. Suppose you subtract the original number of marbles in the right-hand box from the original number of marbles in the left-hand box.
Find the difference between the largest possible result, and the smallest possible result, from this
subtraction.

u what ?

step-by-step explanation:

hi there!

the answer to this question is d: 35

step-by-step explanation:

5 to the power of 2 is 25

2 multiplied by 5 is 10

then you add the 2 numbers and you get 35

hm let me think hm think think hm think yes

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.
