C, D, and E all represent parts of the situation.  

A does not, because x is actually 55 smaller than y, which is why both D and E work.  

B does not because it's doubling the sum of x = y, but the description says to double x and then add y (which is why C works).

X and y are the numbers
y>x

sum (addition) of twice a number (2x) and larger number (y) is (=) 145
2x+y=145

difference between them is 55 (y is bigger so it would be x is subtracted from y)
y-x=55

so the equations are

2x+y=145 and
y-x=55

we could add x to both sides in the 2nd equation to obtain
y=x+55, but that doesn't really represent that the difference is 55, though they are the same euation

so I would say C and D only

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. The astronaut is 6 ft 6 in tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is 40 f
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

t = 0.293 s and 14.52 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The heights of the ball in feet is given by the equation as follows :

S = -2.7t^2+40t+6.5

Where t is the number of seconds after the ball was thrown.

We need to find is the ball 18 ft above the moon's surface.

Put S = 18 ft

-2.7t^2+40t+6.5=18\\\\-2.7t^2+40t=18-6.5\\\\-2.7t^2+40t-11.5=0

It is a quadratic equation. Its solution is given by :

t=\dfrac{-40+\sqrt{40^{2\ }-4\left(-2.7\right)\left(-11.5\right)}}{2\left(-2.7\right)},\dfrac{-40-\sqrt{40^{2\ }-4\left(-2.7\right)\left(-11.5\right)}}{2\left(-2.7\right)}\\\\t=0.293\ s,14.52\ s

So, the ball is at first 0.293 s and then 14.52 s above the Moon's surface.

Write an equation in standard form for:
Tasya [4]
Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length. 
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.  
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P. 
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)
