Solve for x:
x/5 - 10 = 30
Put each term in x/5 - 10 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 10 = x/5 - (50)/5:
x/5 - (50)/5 = 30
x/5 - (50)/5 = (x - 50)/5:
(x - 50)/5 = 30
Multiply both sides of (x - 50)/5 = 30 by 5:
(5 (x - 50))/5 = 5×30
(5 (x - 50))/5 = 5/5×(x - 50) = x - 50:
x - 50 = 5×30
5×30 = 150:
x - 50 = 150
Add 50 to both sides:
x + (50 - 50) = 50 + 150
50 - 50 = 0:
x = 150 + 50
150 + 50 = 200:
Answer: x = 200

$\frac{1}{5} *x- \frac{2}{3} *y=30

x/5 - 2*15/3=30

x/5 - 30/3 = 30

x/5 - 10 = 30

x/5 = 40

x = 40 x 5

x = 200$

Arthur drops a ball from a height of 81 feet above the ground. Its height, h, is given by the equation h = –16t2 + 81, where t i

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the position function and need to find the value of t when h<17.

Create an inequality that represents this situation:

$-16t^2+81$ The "less than" sign makes this very specifically a conjunction problem as opposed to a disjunction. That's important to the solution. But we'll get there.

The simplest way to solve this is to subtract 81 from both sides:

$-16t^2$ then divide both sides by -16:

$t^2>4$ Notice now that the sign is facing the other way since we had to divide by a negative number. Now it's a disjunction. The solution set to this inequality is that t>2 or t<-2. First and foremost, time will never be negative, so we can disregard the -2. Even if that was t<2, the more time that goes by, the greater the time interval is, not the lesser. It's the "<" that doesn't make sense, not only the -2. The solution to this inequality is
