<u>Answer</u>

a³ - a² - 3a + 6

<u>Explanation</u>

The equation requires you to subtract the two expressions.

(a³ - 2a) - (a² + a - 6)

In such an expression we subtract the like term only.

(a³ - 2a) - (a² + a - 6) = a³ - 2a - a² - a + 6

= a³ - a² -2a - a + 6

= a³ - a² - 3a + 6

a girl wants to count the steps of a moving escalator which is going up. if she is going up on it, she counts 60 steps. if she i

Leto [7]

Let

x--------> the speed of the girl in step

y--------> the speed of the escalator in step

d------> the distance between ground and floor.

we know that

$speed=\frac{distance}{time} \\ \\ time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

when the girl is going up on escalator

$x-y=\frac{d}{60}$ ----> equation $1$

when the girl is going down on escalator

$x+y=\frac{d}{90}$ -------> equation $2$

Adds equation $1$ and equation $2$

$2x=\frac{d}{60} +\frac{d}{90} \\ \\ 2x=\frac{5}{180} d$

$x=\frac{5}{360}d$ --------> equation $3$

Time to climb (in step) with y=0 (escalator standing still)

$x*t=d\\\\ t=\frac{d}{x}$ -----> equation $4$

Substitute equation $3$ in equation $4$

$t=\frac{d}{\frac{5d}{360}} \\ \\ t=\frac{360}{5} \\ \\ t=72 steps$

therefore

the answer is

$72 steps$

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Option C)

$-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

"-7 and a number 5 units to the right of -7"

The nubmer 5 units to the right of -7 will be:

$=-7 + 5\\=-2$

The number line shows the two marked points.

As observed from the number line, we can write the inequality:

$-7$

Thus, the correct option is

Option C)

Matthew has $1,500 in his savings account. Currently, he pays $20 each month for an

____ [38]

Answer: 30 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

Matthew's saving account money (1500) must be equal to the product of the amount he pays per month for the app subscription (20) and the number of months (x); plus the product of the amount he pays per month for the Italian restaurant subscription (30) and the number of months (x).

1500= 20x+30x

Solving for x:

1500=50x

1500/50 =x

30 months =x
