Step-by-step explanation:

h = -490t² + 1470t

When h = 980:

980 = -490t² + 1470t

Simplifying:

0 = -490t² + 1470t - 980

0 = t² - 3t + 2

Factoring:

0 = (t - 1) (t - 2)

t = 1, 2

There are two solutions because the rocket first reaches the height of 980 cm as it's going up at 1 second, then it reaches that height again as it's coming down at 2 seconds.

Solve for x: 3x - 3 - 6x = 12​
Natalka [10]

Answer:

x = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 3 - 6x = 12

group like terms

3x - 6x - 3 = 12

add similar elements

- 3x - 3 = 12

add 3 to both sides

- 3x - 3 + 3 = 12 + 3

simplify

- 3x = 15

divide both sides by 3

- 3x / 5 = 15 / - 3

simplify

x = - 5
