(a) how much potting soil he bought last week
(b) 28 = 2p + 4
(c) 28 = 2p + 4....subtract 4 from both sides
     28 - 4 = 2p...simplify
     24 = 2p...divide both sides by 2
     24/2 = p....simplify
     12 = p......12 solves the equation
(d) He bought 12 lbs of potting soil last week

phillip bought 12 used cds and dvds.cds cost $2 each,and dvds cost $3 each.he spent $31,not including tax.how many dvds did phil
inessss [21]
Let c and d be the number of cds and dvds respectively.

c+d=12

c=12-d

The we are told that:

2c+3d=31, using c found above in this equation gives you:

2(12-d)+3d=31

24-2d+3d=31  

24+d=31

d=7

So Phillip bought 7 dvds.

check...

3*7+2(12-7)=31

21+2(5)=31

21+10=31

31=31

Upon hitting a bat, a baseball has a change in momentum of 16.5 kg-ms. What is the average
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The average force applied to the baseball is 8.25kN

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on the impulse of a force

We know that the change in momentum is expressed as

Ft= mv-mu

Given

Ft=16.5 kg-ms

Time t of impact =0.00200s

The force applied can be solved for

By making F subject of formula

F= (mv-mu)/t

F=16.5/0.002

F= 8250N

F= 8.25kN
