1. -44- 44
2. -58-26
3 -80 - 4
Multiply both sides by 3
Simplify the numerators
Multiply both sides by 6
Simplify the numerator
Multiply both sides by x
12x - 18 = 15x Subtract 12x from both sides
-18 = 3x Divide both sides by 3
-6 = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = -6
Check your answer by plugging -6 in for the x in the original problem:
Plug in -6 for x
Change
to
so all denominators are the same
Change
to
for easier work
Subtract the numerators (4 - (-1) )
=
So,
x = -6 .
Answer:
C and E
Step-by-step explanation:
The change in elevation was 44 + 20 = 64 m
the rate of fall was 64 m / 32 s = 2 m/s
The anchor reached the surface in 44 / 2 = 22 s so C is valid
E is correct as the ocean surface is origin and <u>Up</u> is the positive direction.
The anchor starts at 44 m above the surface and position is lower by 2 meters every second
7*10^8 is estimated as the product
