To solve, we must get x by itself. the first step we must take is to remove all of the parentheses. To do this, we must use distribution to multiply 5 by x - 6.

5(x - 6) = 3x - 18 + 2x

5x - 30 = 3x - 18 + 2x

Next, we must add like terms.

5x - 30 = 5x - 18

Finally, we must get x by itself. to do this, we must subtract 5x from both sides.

5x - 30 - 5x = 5x - 18 - 5x

Then, we add like terms again.

-30 = -18

Because this is a false statement, the equation is a contradiction.

1. Assume you took $2,500 in cash out of your savings account and bought a car worth
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The net worth does not change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Net worth is the sum of all of your assets minus the liabilities.

If you start off with 2,500 in your savings account, then you use the money to buy a car the net worth does not change. You started with a net worth of 2,500 because money in your savings account in considered an asset. You then use that money to buy a car which is an asset, and the car contributes to your net worth.

The formula v equals the square root of the quantity 64 multiplied by h end of quantity gives the velocity v in feet per second
NemiM [27]
The equation is derived from the conservation of energy, specifically from potential energy stored at a given height in a gravitational field.

When potential energy is completely converted to kinetic energy you have:

(mv^2)/2=mgh  divide both sides by the mass m

v^2/2=gh  multiply both sides by 2

v^2=2gh take the square root of both sides

v=√(2gh)  and working with imperial units for acceleration due to gravity, g=-32ft/s^2

v=√(-64h)  but the change of h as it falls is negative h so

v=-√(64h) so if an object falls from a height of 88ft we have:

v=-√(64*84)

v=-√5376

v≈-73.32 ft/sec (to the nearest hundredth of a foot per second)

Note that this is the velocity, it is negative 73.32 ft/sec.

The question inadvertently asked for velocity and provided answers for SPEED.  Velocity is a vector and has both magnitude and direction, whereas speed just has magnitude.

So its final speed is 73.32 ft/sec

So if they actually wanted velocity none of their answers is correct :P
