Answer:

X=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5=5x-11

-3x = -3x Subtract the 3x from both sides

5 = 2x-11 You will end up with 5 on the left and 2x-11 on the right

+11 = +11 Add 11 to both sides to get rid of 11 on the right

16 =2x you will end up with 16=2x

16/2=2/2 Lastly divide 2 on both sides

8=x You will end up with the answer as x=8

Make sure that when you bring a number to the other side of the equal sign, you need to change from + to - or from - to +

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable. t^2-4t-32/t-8

Leno4ka [110]

1. Factor the expression $t^2-4t-32:$

$t^2-4t-32=(t-8)(t+4).$

2. Since $t-8$ is placed in the denominator of the given expression, then $t\neq 8.$

3. Now the expression can be simplified:

$\dfrac{t^2-4t-32}{t-8}=\dfrac{(t-8)(t+4)}{t-8}=t+4.$

In each function, x is the horizontal distance the ball travels in meters, and y

HACTEHA [7]

Soccer ball reaches its highest position when its equation turns from positive slope to zero and then negative. Mathematically it is where the derivative of the its function equals to zero. so:

d(-3x^2 + 6x + 3) / dx = -6x + 6

-6x + 6 = 0 -> x = 1 ->

$y = 6$

it seems Paige's ball reaches higher than Viaola's with only 6 meters height.
