Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.

3(2x + 1 ) = 2(x + 1) + 1
SpyIntel [72]

3(2x+1)=2(x+1)+1

Step 1:Simplify both sides of the equation

(3)(2x)+(3)(1)=(2)(x)+(2)(1)+ -(distribute)

6x+3=2x+2+1

6x+3=(2x)+(2+1) -(Combine Like Terms)

6x+3=2x+3

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides

6x+3-2x=2x+3-2x

4x+3-3=3-3

4x÷4=0÷4

x=0

Given h=30 when x=150 we get

a(150)^2=30

a=30/22500=1/750 so

h(x)=x^2/750

2-8x=10 looking for solution
leva [86]

Answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2−8x=10

2+−8x=10

−8x+2=10

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

−8x+2−2=10−2

−8x=8

Step 3: Divide both sides by -8.

−8x ÷ −8

=

8 ÷ −8

x=−1

Answer:

x=−1

H(x) =X 2 – 5x; Find H(X) =104
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) = x² - 5x

x² - 5x = 104

x² - 5x - 104 = 0

D = (- 5)² - 4(1)(- 104) = 441 = 21²

x_{1} = (5 - 21) / 2 =<em> - 8</em>

x_{2} = (5 + 21) / 2 =<em> 13</em>
