Answer:

122.5 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between force, wind speed, and area can be written ...

f = ks²a

for some wind speed s and area a.

The constant of proportionality, k, can be found from the given data.

64.8 = k(18²)(500) . . . force in pounds, area in square feet, speed in mph

k = 64.8/(324×500) = 0.0004

Using the equation with the second set of data, we have ...

f = 0.0004(35²)(250) = 122.5 . . . . pounds

The force on the 250 square foot sail would be 122.5 pounds.

What is X divided by 5 if X=5?

Paraphin [41]

If you divide X which is 5 by 5, then you will get 1.

5^1 will be 5.

5 divided by 0 does not have a solution. It is not a number.

It is possible to subtract an integer with a negative sign from another number, for example 5-(-3). Multiplying two negative signs will make the sign positive, so the problem would then be this: 5+3. That equals 8.

1+1-1x1/1= 1

Solve 3x + 23 + x = 7. x = −4 x = 4 x = −0.25 x = 0.25

Maksim231197 [3]

<h2>______________________________</h2><h2>Solve for x | Solution and Explanation </h2>

______________________________________________

Hello! So...

We are given the following:

Solve for x.

$3x+23+x=7$

====================

1. Group the like terms.

$3x+x+23=7$

====================

2. Add similar elements ( $3x+x=4x$ ).

$4x+23=7$

====================

3. Subtract 23 from both sides.

$4x + 23 - 23 = 7 - 23$

====================

4. Simplify.

$4x=-16$

====================

5. Divide both sides by 4.

$\frac{4x}{4} =\frac{-16}{4}$

====================

6. Simplify.

$x=-4$ (aka. Option A)

====================

Hope this helps!
