Answer:
negative
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph falls to both the left and right, so the leading coefficient has to be negative, and it must be raised to an even power.
The number is 3 because 3 multiplied by itself (3) is equal to 9.
Total distance = 200 miles
Time needed for the first 100 miles
= 100 ÷ 40 = 2.5 hours
Time needed for the second 100 miles
= 100 ÷ 50 = 2 hours
Total time = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 hours
Average speed = 200 ÷ 4.5 hours = 44.4 miles per hour
Hey!
so first distribute the 5 to x + 4
5x+20 = 2x + 20 + 2x
combine 2x and 2x
5x+20 = 4x + 20
Now you want the constant and variable on different sides so subtract 4x to the other side
5x - 4x + 20 = 20
1x + 20 = 20
now subtract the 20 on the 1x + 20 side to the other side
1x = 0
divide by 1
0 divided by anything is 0
So x = 0
Hope this helps!
