You need to add a -1

We can find this by setting up the equation like so

x + (-6) + 12 + 15 / 4 = 5

x + 21 = 20

x = 20 -21

x = -1

Now if we insert -1 where x is located in the equation, you will get a means of 5

2x^2 + 3x - 12 when x = 5 help pls

cluponka [151]

$\huge\textsf{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{2x^2 + 3x - 12}$

$\mathsf{= 2(5)^2 + 3(5) - 12}$

$\mathsf{5^2}$

$\mathsf{= 5 \times 5}$

$\mathsf{\bf = 25}$

$\mathsf{2(25) + 3(5) - 12}$

$\mathsf{2(25)}$

$\mathsf{= \bf 50}$

$\mathsf{3(5)}$

$\mathsf{= \bf 15}$

$\mathsf{= 50 + 15 - 12}$

$\mathsf{50 + 15}$

$\mathsf{= \bf 65}$

65 - 12

$\mathsf{= \bf 53}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\huge\textsf{Answer: \bf 53}}}\huge\checkmark$

The pool is located at (0,0) to get to your house from the pool you walk three blocks west and one block north what ordered pair

ira [324]

Answer:

(-3, 1) quadrant II (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

An image of the coordinate plane is show. The quadrants start at the top right and move around in the counter-clockwise direction. The x-axis is horizontal (side to side) and y-axis is vertical (up and down). Starting at the origin of the coordinate plane (0, 0) and going three blocks west (left) would put you at -3 on the x-axis. If you then proceed to go north (up) +1, you would now be at point (-3, 1) which is a (-x, +y) or in quadrant II.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 14 centimeters long. One of the legs of the triangle is 6 centimeters. What is the length

Fed [463]

Use Pythagorean theorem to solve.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + b ^2 = 14^2
36 + b^2 = 196
Subtract 36 from both sides.
b^2 = 196-36
b^2 = 160
Take the square root of both sides.
b = sqrt 160
As a decimal
b = 12.649
As a simplified radical
b = 4sqrt10
