5x-3-7＝9+2x-16
5x-10＝2x-7
5x-2x＝-7+10
3x＝3
X＝1

Answer:

x= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - (3+7)=9+2(x-8)

Add the numbers 3 + 7= 10

5x - 10= 9 + 2(x-8)

Expand 9 + 2(x-8): 2x - 7

5x - 10 = 2x - 7

Add 10 to both sides

5x -10 + 10 = 2x -7 + 10

Simplify 5x = 2x + 3

Subtract 2x from both sides

5x -2x = 2x + 3- 2x

Simplify

3x = 3

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 =3/3

Simplify

x= 1

In a video game, a bird is flung on a sling shot and follows a parabolic path. The path of the bird can be modeled by the equati

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$h=-16t^2+55t+4$

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex represent a maximum

where

h is the height of the bird

t is the amount of time, in seconds, the bird had been in the air

For h=40 ft

substitute in the quadratic equation

$40=-16t^2+55t+4$

$-16t^2+55t+4-40=0$

$-16t^2+55t-36=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$-16t^2+55t-36=0$

$a=-16\\b=55\\c=-36$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-55\pm\sqrt{55^{2}-4(-16)(-36)}} {2(-16)}$

$x=\frac{-55\pm\sqrt{721}} {-32}$

$x=\frac{-55+\sqrt{721}} {-32}=0.88\ sec$

$x=\frac{-55-\sqrt{721}} {-32}=2.56\ sec$

therefore

The bird will take 0.88 seconds to reach a height of 40 feet in the air for the first time

How do you find the x

lions [1.4K]

Because those are straight lines, the 46 degrees must be equal to the (2x - 4).
2x -4 = 46.
2x = 46 + 4
2x = 50
x = 50/2
x = 25.

Please help. URGENT. THANK YOU

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum value of the sin function is at $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ , when sin is equal to 1. Since you need to multiply pi/12 by 6 to get to pi/2, the maximum amount of people will be at the square after 6 hours. Hope this helps!
