Half of your baseball card collection got wet and was ruined. You bought 18 cards to replace some that were lost. How many did y
postnew [5]
1. Let x be the original amount of baseball cards,
2. half of x was lost so x divided by 2.
3. you buy 18 cards to replace some that were lost
4. You can find the awnser by subtracting 18 from 30, which is 12.
5. Now lets remember that half of your cards were lost. meaning that 12 is only half of what you started with.
6. 12 times 2 would be 24.
7. The Awnser is 24
8. To check your work, you can say x=24, 24 divided by 2 is 12, and 12 plus 18 is 30.

The product of a binomial and a trinomial is x3+3x2-x+2x2+6x-2 Which expression is equivalent to this
solong [7]
The answer is the first one.
Explanation:
X^3 stays the same because there are no other cubed numbers in the problem
Next you combine the x^2s
The x^2s are +3x^2 and +2x^2
Since they are both positive, you add them: 3x^2 + 2x^2 = 5x^2
Next you do the x values
-x and +6x, also known as 6x - x = 5x
Lastly, you just add in the -2 and get:
X^3 + 5x^2 + 5x - 2

Is the relationship between the amount of gas and pressure direct or indirect? Explain your answer
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

INDIRECT!

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A law that says that if the temperature is constant then  the volume of a fixed amount of a gas is <u>inversely proportional</u> to its pressure.If the pressure on a gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are getting closer together.

What’s the value of x?
tatuchka [14]
We have a pair of vertical angles here. So they would equal each other.
3x+50=6x-10
Subtract 3x to 6x:
50=3x-10
Add 10 to 50:
60=3x
Divide 3 to both sides:
x=30
