A. This is the original equation: 2x + 3 - 1 = x + 5

b. 2x + 2 = x + 5 ← combined like terms on left side
2x + 2 - 2 = x + 5 - 2 ← used inverse operation to collect constants on right side
2x = x + 3 ←simplified each side
2x - x = x - x + 3 ←used inverse operation to collect variable terms on left side
x = 3 ← simplified each side
answer x = 3

c. 2(3) + 3 - 1 = 3 + 5
6 + 3 - 1 = 8
9 - 1 = 8
8 = 8

If QRST is a kite, find mZQRS. R (11x - 6) 79° S (4x + 13) T mZQRS<br>I really need help!

maxonik [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x +13 +79+79+ 11x-6 = 360

15x +165 = 360

15x = 195

x =13

QRS = 11(13)-6 = 137

Margie is standing on a bridge looking at the river below. She throws a rock over the bridge with an initial

Marina CMI [18]

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Here we know that Margie is standing on a bridge looking at the river. She throws a rock over the bridge with an initial velocity of 60 ft/sec. The height, h, of the rock at the rime t seconds after it was thrown can be modeled by the equation:

$h(t) = -16t^2+60t+72$

To calculate how long will it take for the rock to reach the surface of the water, we need to set $h(t)=0$ . So:

$0 = -16t^2+60t+72 \\ \\ \\ \text{Using quadratic formula}: \\ \\ t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ \\ a=-16 \\ \\ b=60 \\ \\ c=72 \\ \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(72)}}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{60^2-4(-16)(72)}}{2(-16)} \\ \\ t=\frac{-60 \pm \sqrt{8208}}{-32} \\ \\ t_{1}=4.70 \\ \\ t_{2}=-0.95$

Given that time can't be negative, we just choose the positive value. Therefore, <em>it will take 4.70 seconds for the rock to reach the surface water.</em>

If a shirt costs $40 and the amount of tax collected was $2 what is the sales tax rate?

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the tax, we take the price times the tax rate

2 = 40* rate

Divide each side by 40

2/40 =rate

.05 = rate

Changing to percent form
