Consider the equation and its solution.

Mathematics
1 answer:
AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we should begin with the second step and work backwards in order to find the unknown value.  If given the equation -15x + 30 = 25, we should factor out a -15 to simplify.  This method is shown below.

-15x + 30 = 25

-15(x-2) = 25

We know this is correct because if we redistribute the -15 through the parentheses using the distributive property, we would get our original equation again.  In other words, this answer is confirmed by the fact that -15 * -2 equals positive 30.

However, we need to look closely at the question that is asked.  The box that we must fill in is already preceded by a negative sign, thus the correct answer is C. 2.

We can check our work by replacing the box with the number 2, getting -15(x-2) + 30 = 25, which was the equation we got earlier.

Hope this helps!

If the mountain is 1,200 feet tall, find the length of the ski lift
Nina [5.8K]
The length of the sky lift is 3.387.05 ft
Step-by-step explanation;
By an online search, i found that the sky lift
rises at an angle of 20.75 degrees.
Then we can think on a triangle rectangle, such
that:
One cathetus is 1200ft, this is the opposite
cathetus to the angle of 20.75°
The length of the ski lift would be the
hypotenuse of this triangle rectangle.
Then we can use the relationship:
Sin(a) = opposite cathetus/hypoteuse.
such that:
a = 20.75°
opposite cathetus=1200ft
then:
sin(20.75°) = 1200ft/hypotenuse
hypotenuse =1200ft/sin(20.759) =3.387.05 ft
The length of the sky lift is 3.387.05 ft

40 green cars 20 silver if same # of green stayed the same how many more silver would need to be added so the ratio of green to
slega [8]
So, there will be 40 green cars. if we want the ratio to be 1:3, we will need there to b three times as many silver cars as green cars: 40*3=120.

we already have 20 silver, so we need to add 120-20, that is 100 silver cars!
