Hey there!
2x^2 - 5 / x + 9
= 2(-1)^2 - 5/ -1 + 9
= (2(-1)^2 - 5) / (-1 + 9)
= (2(1) - 5) / 8
= (2 - 5) / 8
= -3 / 8
≈ -0.375
Therefore, your answer is:
-3/8 OR -0.375
EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO EACH OTHER!
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

This would look like 6x/11. Since the problem doesn’t state the answer then you would simply write the expression.
4.5{4_x}+36=202-2.5{3+28}
you first multiply 4.5 and the numbers in the bracket.
4.5*4=18
4.5*x=4.5x
you will obtain 18-4.5x=202_2.5{3+28}
2.5*3=7.5 2.5*28=70
18_4.5x=202_7.5_70
18_4.5x=124.5_18
-4.5x=106.5
x=23.67
Start with
Add 2x to both sides:
Subtract 21 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 5. Since it is positive, we don't have to change the inequality sign:
So, the answer is 
To solve this problem you must follow the steps below:
1. The problem says that:
- The<span> hot air balloon is at an altitude of 240 feet.
- It descends at 30 feet per minute.
2. Therefore, you have:
x: the time in minutes.
y: the altitute in feet.
3. Keeping all this information on mind, you can write the following equation:
y=240-30x
4. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is:
</span>
y=240-30x
