Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the best fitting line is y = 2.599x + 105.08. When x is set to 20, the predicted height becomes y = 157.06. However, the actual height recorded is 160 cm, therefore, the residual is calculated as:

160 cm − 157.06 cm = 2.94 cm

Devon purchased a new car valued at $16,000 that depreciated continuously at a rate of 35%. Its current value is $2,000. The equ
Leona [4166]

Initial cost = 16000
depreciation rate = 35%
remaining value = 2000
depreciation over one year = 16000*35% = 5600
5600*2 = 11200 + 5600*6\12 = 2000
The car is aged 2.5 years, accounting for two full years and an additional half year of depreciation.

The perimeter of a scalene triangle is 14.5 cm. The longest side is twice that of the shortest side. Which equation can be used
babunello [3635]
Let x = 6.2
Define y as half of x: y = 0.5x
Calculate y: y = 0.5 × 6.2 = 3.1
Calculate z by subtracting x and y from 14.5: z = 14.5 - 6.2 - 3.1 = 5.2
Each variable corresponds to a triangle side
