2m + 5 = 5(m - 7) - 3m

2m + 5 = 5m - 35 - 3m

2m + 5 = 2m - 35

2m + 5 - 5 = 2m - 35 - 5

2m = 2m - 30

2m - 2m = 2m - 2m - 30

0 = -30

0 does not equal -30 - so this is an inequality - cannot solve for m

No solution

2m+5=5(m-7)-3m
first, use distributive property...
2m+5=5m-35-3m
next, combine like terms on the right side...
2m+5=2m-35
next, subtract 2m from both sides.
2m+5=2m-35
-2m -2m
you will get....
5=-35 in which is not true. This means the equation has no solution.

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

.20x + .68(120 - x) = .54(120) (Distribute .68 to 120 and -x)

.20x + 81.6 - .68x = .54(120) (multiply .54 and 120)

.20x + 81.6 - .68x = 69.6 ( add .20x and -.68x)

-.48x + 81.6 = 69.6 ( subtract 81.6 on each side)

-.48x = -12 (divide -12 by -.48)

x = 25

4. a) A ping pong ball has a 75% rebound ratio. When you drop it from a height of k feet, it bounces and bounces endlessly. If t

Klio2033 [76]

First part of question:

Find the general term that represents the situation in terms of k.

The general term for geometric series is:

$a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}$

$a_{1}$ = the first term of the series

$r$ = the geometric ratio

$a_{1}$ would represent the height at which the ball is first dropped. Therefore:

$a_{1} = k$

We also know that the ball has a rebound ratio of 75%, meaning that the ball only bounces 75% of its original height every time it bounces. This appears to be our geometric ratio. Therefore:

$r=\frac{3}{4}$
