Answer:

-12x-15-8x=85 (first combine like terms)

-20x-15=85 (now add 15 to 85, to get x by itself)

-20x=100 (now divide 100 by negative 20)

x=-5

There are 80 major sources of pollen in state A. These pollen sources are categorized as grasses, weeds, and trees. If the numb

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Grasses: 12

Weeds: 29

Trees: 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let G, W and T represent number of grasses, weeds, and trees that are major pollen sources.

We have been given that there are 80 major sources of pollen in state A. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$G+W+T=80...(1)$

We are told that the number of weeds is 7 less than thrice the number of grasses. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$W=3G-7...(2)$

We are also told that the number of trees is 3 more than thrice the number of grasses. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$T=3G+3...(3)$

Upon substituting equation (2) and equation (3) in equation (1), we will get:

$G+3G-7+3G+3=80$

$7G-4=80$

$7G-4+4=80+4$

$7G=84$

$\frac{7G}{7}=\frac{84}{7}$

$G=12$

Therefore, there are 12 grasses that are major pollen sources.

Number of weeds that are major pollen sources:

$W=3G-7\Rightarrow 3(12)-7=36-7=29$

Therefore, there are 29 weeds that are major pollen sources.

Number of trees that are major pollen sources:

$T=3G+3\Rightarrow 3(12)+3=36+3=39$

Therefore, there are 39 trees that are major pollen sources.

Select the correct answer. What is the range of the function f(x) = -4\x+ 11 - 5? A. (-4,-5) B. [-5,-) OC. (-4,-) OD. (-2,-4] Re

Y_Kistochka [10]

We are given the following function:

$f(x)=-4\lvert x+1\rvert-5$

This function is equivalent to the function:

$g(x)=-4\lvert x+1\rvert$

Together with a translation 5 units in the negative direction of the "x" axis. Since the range of g(x) is all the values of "y" that are smaller or equal to zero, if we translate 5 units in the negative direction of the y-axis the range is:

$R(f(x))=\mleft\lbrace y\parallel y\mright?\le5\rbrace$

or in interval notation:

$R(f(x))=(-\infty,-5\rbrack$

The weight, w, of a spring in pounds is given by 0.9 times the square root of the energy, E, stored by the spring in joules. If

frutty [35]

For this case we have the following equation:
$w = 0.9* \sqrt{E}$
Where,
w: The weight of a spring in pounds
E: the energy stored by the spring in joules.
Substituting values we have:
$w = 0.9* \sqrt{12}$
Making the corresponding calculation:
$w=3.12$
Answer:
the approximate weight of the spring in pounds is:
$w=3.12$
