Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-16=-20

Get x to one side by subtracting it.

-16=-20-4x

Add the 20 on both sides.

-16+20=-4x

Simplify

4=-4x

4/-4=-4x/-4

-1=x

x=-1

What is the slope between (10,4) and (7,4)?

Inga [223]

Slope is rise/run to find it we do (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) y1 means the 1st y and y2 means the second y in (x,y) form y1=4 y2=4 x1=10 x2=7 (4-4)/(10-7)=0/3=0 slope is 0

Answer:

Solution of equation ( x ) = <u>7</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given with an equation that is <u>4</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>5</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>9</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>3 </u><u>)</u><u>.</u> And we are asked to solve this equation that means we have to find the value of <u>x</u><u>.</u><u> </u>

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

<u> $\quad \longrightarrow \: 4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )$ </u>

<u>Step </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Removing parenthesis :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - 8 = 18x + 6$

<u>Step </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Adding 8 from both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - \cancel{ 8 }+ \cancel{8} = 18x + 6 + 8$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x = 18x + 14$

<u>Step </u><u>3 </u><u>:</u> Subtracting 18 from both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - 18x = \cancel{18x }+ 14 - \cancel{18}$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:2x = 14$

<u>Step </u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Dividing with 2 on both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \: \frac{ \cancel{ 2}x}{ \cancel{2}} = \cancel{\frac{14}{2} }$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \: \blue{\boxed{ \frak{x = 7}}}$

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>solution</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>this </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>7</u><u> </u><u>or </u><u>we </u><u>can </u><u>say </u><u>that </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u>this </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>7</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

<u>Verifying</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

We are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in given equation. So ,

4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )

4 [ 5 ( 7 ) - 2 ] = 2 [ 9 ( 7 ) + 3 ]

4 ( 35 - 2 ) = 2 ( 63 + 3 )

4 ( 33 ) = 2 ( 66 )

132 = 132

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, Verified.

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>our </u><u>value</u><u> for</u><u> x</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>correct </u><u>.</u>

A volleyball reaches its maximum of 13 feet, 3 seconds after it is served. What quadratic formula could model the height of the

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$H=-(t-3)^2+13$

Step-by-step explanation:

The path covered by the volleyball will be a downward parabola with the vertex being the highest point of the ball.

A general form of a downward parabola is given as:

$y=-a(x-h)^2+k$

Where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola and 'a' is a constant.

Now, let 'h' be the vertical height and 't' be the time taken.

So, the equation would be of the form:

$H=-a(t-h)^2+k$

Now, as per question:

h = 2 seconds, k = 13 feet.

$H=-a(t-3)^2+13$

Now, taking a = 1. So, the formula that can be used is:

$H=-(t-3)^2+13$
