Solve for x. 3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

1 answer:

5 0

3 (x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

Simplify.

3x + 6 + 4x - 20 = 10

Add like terms.

(3x+4x) + (6-20) = 10

Simplify.

7x - 14 = 10

Add 14 to both sides of the equation.

7x = 24

Divide both sides by 7 so that X is by itself.

x = 24/7, or 3 3/7

Find the product -2X²×4X²y²

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

-8X^4y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2X² × 4X²y² = -8X^4y^2

edit to add:

first: multiply the coefficients together:

-2 x 4 = -8

second: add the exponents of X together (when you multiply exponents, you just add them together):

² & ² = ^4

and you have the answer:

-8X^4y^2

a leaf hangs from a branch 12 feet in the air. it falls to the ground at a rate of 0.25 feet per second. which graph could repre

Kipish [7]

For this case we have an equation of the form:
$h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * (t ^ 2) + v0 * t + h0
$
Where,
h0: initial height
v0: initial speed
a: acceleration
Substituting values we have:
$h (t) = (1/2) * (- 32) * (t ^ 2) + 0.25 * t + 12
$
Rewriting we have:
$h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 0.25 * t + 12
$
Note: see attached image
Answer:
$h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 0.25 * t + 12$
