What expression could be used to represent "12 less than triple a number , x" ? Explain.

3x - 12

Triple a number would be 3x instead of x cubed as it is not asking for a number multiplied by itself three times.

-12 is the second half as since you don’t know whether or not the variable will be larger or smaller than the constant, it is safer to put it on the other half.

Thus, this equation fills in the worded format.

Hope this helps!

12-3x because 12 less than means 12- and tripe a number is 3x which is 12-3x or -3x+12

Britney throws an object into the air with an initial vertical velocity of 27 feet per second, from a platform that is 10 feet a

Y = yo + Vot - (gt^2)/2

y = 10 + 27t - 16.087t^2 [I used g = 32.174 ft/s^2]

You can find y with the quadratic formula or probe with the different times given.

I tried with t = 2 s and found

y = 10 + 27(2) - 16.087 (4) = 10 + 54 - 64.348 = -0.348

Then that is the answer, t = 2s.
