Denise and stacey went to a carnival. the admission fee was $6 per person. each ride at the carnival costs c dollars. the game booths charged g dollars for each game. both denise and stacey went on 7 rides each. stacey played 3 games, while denise played 2 games. which expression represents the total amount of money that denise and stacey spent at the carnival? 7c + 5g + 6 7c + 5g + 12 14c + 5g + 6 14c + 5g + 12

step-by-step explanation:

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.
