5. If 2x - y = 10 then for x= 8 what is the value of y?a) 7b) 6 C) 5d) 4

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is b, 6

if x=8 then you need to plug in 8 for your in the equation, so you’d have 2(8) - y = 10

you’d get: 16 - y = 10

you’d then subtract 16 from both sides to get -y alone

so now you have -y = -6

you can’t have a -y so you’ll have to divide -1 from both sides

you’ll end up with y=6, which is your answer

If _____, use threshold braking any time you need to brake hard.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. You don't have ABS

Step-by-step explanation:

A car braking system works by the friction action the break pad applies on the wheels, when the break is applied with much force, due to hard and sudden breaking of the motion of the vehicle, the break pad stops the rotation of the wheels but the vehicle could however continue skidding due to the high initial momentum

The being skidding vehicle in a situation of kidding increases the likelihood for an accident as the the vehicle can no longer be controlled at the steering either

Threshold braking is the technique of bringing the vehicle to a stop or slowing down in the shortest time possible by applying an optimum breaking force during breaking

Anti-lock Braking System is a safety feature that prevents skidding by keeping the wheels of the vehicle or aircraft from locking when excessive break is applied such that traction maintained between the wheels and the road.

Each year for 4 years, a farmer increased the number of trees in a certain orchard by of the number of trees in the orchard the

Neko [114]

Answer:

The number of trees at the begging of the 4-year period was 2560.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say that x is number of trees at the begging of the first year, we know that for four years the number of trees were incised by 1/4 of the number of trees of the preceding year, so at the end of the first year the number of trees was $x+\frac{1}{4} x=\frac{5}{4} x$ , and for the next three years we have that

Start End

Second year $\frac{5}{4}x$ -------------- $\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{1}{4}(\frac{5}{4}x) =\frac{5}{4}x+ \frac{5}{16}x=\frac{25}{16}x=(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$

Third year $(\frac{5}{4} )^{2}x$ ------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{2}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{2}x+\frac{5^{2} }{4^{3} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$

Fourth year $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x$ -------------- $(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{1}{4}((\frac{5}{4})^{3}x) =(\frac{5}{4})^{3}x+\frac{5^{3} }{4^{4} } x=(\frac{5}{4})^{4}x.$
