First step would be to expand it and make it 2x + 14 + 3x = 12

Second step would be to add 2x + 14 + 3x so it can be 5x + 14

Third step would be to subtract 14 from both sides

Fourth step would be to subtract 12 - 14 so it can be -2

Last step to get your answer would be to divide both sides by 5

Answer to this whole equation: x = -2/5.

Sharon kicks a ball from the ground into the air with an upward velocity of 64 feet per second. The function h = -16t2 + 64t mod
pychu [463]
To find when the ball reaches the ground, you would need to find the time that gives you a height value of zero. 

Your answer would be 4 seconds

h = -16(4)^2 + 64(16)
h = -16(16) + 256
h = -256 + 256
h = 0

Hope this helps!

5(2)>3(1)+4

10 > 7. Is True because 10 is greather than 7. All needed to do is evaluate the x and y variables for each possibility. A, B, C D. And see if is a logical answer.

Any other combination gives you a false statement.
