First of all, distribute the product of the two parentheses:

$8(7x-1)+4(x+5) = 8\cdot7x - 8\cdot 1 + 4\cdot x + 4 \cdot 5 = 56x-8+4x+20$

Sum like terms:

$60x +12$

Problem PageQuestion Flying against the jetstream, a jet travels 3050 miles in 5 hours. Flying with the jetstream, the same jet

goblinko [34]

Answer: the rate of the jet in still air is 685 mph and the rate of the jetstream is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the rate of the jet in still air.

Let y represent the rate of the jet jetstream.

Distance = speed × time

Flying against the jetstream, a jet travels 3050 miles in 5 hours. This means that the total speed of the jet would be (x - y) mph. Therefore,

3050 = 5(x - y)

3050/5 = x - y

x - y = 610 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Flying with the jetstream, the same jet travels 3800 miles in 4 hours. This means that the total speed of the jet would be (x + y) mph. Therefore,

3800 = 4(x + y)

3800/5 = x + y

x + y = 760 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

2x = 1370

x = 1370/2 = 685mph

Substituting x = 685 into equation 1, it becomes

685 - y = 610

y = 685 - 610 = 75mph

A study has shown that the daily amount of milk produced by a dairy cow is normally distributed, with a mean of 6.2 gallons and

V125BC [204]

Answer:

5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Daily a cow

produces a mean of 6.2 gallons (average

of 6.2 gallons, meaning they already

found the mean, "averaged" it out for

you) with a deviation of 7 gallons ("give

or take" .7 gallons). On any given day

(throw these words out) 68% of the cows

(don't need this information to answer

the question either, thrown in to confuse

you) will produce an amount of milk

within which of the following ranges?

Just subtract the deviation ("give or

take number").7 gallons from the mean

(average (already determined)) 6.2

gallons which is 5.5 gallons THEN add

the deviation ("give or take number").

7 gallons to the mean (average (already

determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 6.9

gallons. Your answer is A 5.5 gallons to

6.9 gallons. You don't even have to go

crazy on the math on this question you

can rule them all out but A immediately

with subtracting .7 from 6.2.

hope it helps!

A ladder that is 13 meters long is leaning against a wall. The distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 7 meters

Maksim231197 [3]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation that is used to model the length of ladder in terms of x is:

$x^2-7x-60=0$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We can model this problem with the help of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 meters and the other two legs are x meters and (x-7) meters.

where x is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

and (x-7) is the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.

Hence, using Pythagorean Theorem we have:

$13^2=x^2+(x-7)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\169=x^2+x^2+49-14x\\\\i.e.\\\\169=2x^2-14x+49\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x+49-169=0\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x-120=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2-7x-60=0$

Hence, the answer is:

$x^2-7x-60=0$
