Solve the equations to find the number and type of solutions

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

This has one real solution, x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

8 - 4x = 0

Add 4x to each side

8 - 4x+4x = 0+4x

8 =4x

Divide each side by 4

8/4 = 4x/4

2 =x

This has one real solution, x=4

when a cannonball is fired, the equation of its pathway can be modeled by h=-16t squared + 128t. find the time it will take for

Rashid [163]

At the time the cannonball reaches the ground, the vertical height of the cannonball from the ground is 0, i.e. h = 0.

Thus, the time it will take the cannonball to reach the ground is given by

$-16t^2+128t=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t(-16t+128)=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t=0\ or\ -16t+128=0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow16t=128 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t= \frac{128}{16} =8$

Therefore, it will take the cannonball 8 seconds to reach the ground.

Uh please help 8x-4y=-4 <br> -3x+4y=5 <br> Subtract second equation from the first

crimeas [40]

Answer:

11x -8y = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-4y=-4

-3x+4y=5

Subtract the second equation from the first

8x-4y=-4

-(-3x+4y=5)

-----------------------------

Distribute the minus sign

8x-4y=-4

+(3x-4y=-5)

-----------------------------

11x -8y = -9
