Answer:

a+b+c=32

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

(-2x^{2} +x+31)+(3x^{2}+7x-8)

Adds the terms

Group terms that contain the same variable

(-2x^{2}+3x^{2})+(x+7x)+(31-8)

Combine like terms

(x^{2})+(8x)+(23)

where

a=1,b=8,c=23

therefore

a+b+c=1+8+23=32

Help Please<br> Find The Surface Area Of The Prism
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

360 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of each face of the triangular prism.

Imagine the triangular prism as its net, it is composed with 2 triangular faces (these are tye bases of the prism) and 3 rectangular faces.

Areas of the 2 triangular bases (they are similar triangles):

1/2 x 8 cm x 6 cm = 24 cm^2

24 x 2 = 48 cm^2

Area of the rectangular face:

8 x 13 = 104 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

6 cm x 13 cm = 78 cm^2

Area of another rectangular face:

13 cm x 10 cm = 130 cm^2

Add up all the areas of all faces:

48 + 104 + 78 + 130 = 360

So the SA is 360 cm^2

The total stopping distance T for a vehicle is T = 2.5x + 0.5x 2 , where T is in feet and x is the speed in miles per hour. Appr
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

%  change in stopping distance = 7.34 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The stooping distance is given by

T = 2.5 x + 0.5 x^{2}

We will approximate this distance  using the relation

f (x + dx) = f (x)+ f' (x)dx

dx = 26 - 25 = 1

T' =  2.5 + x

Therefore

f(x)+f'(x)dx = 2.5x+ 0.5x^{2} + 2.5 +x

This is the stopping distance at x = 25

Put x = 25 in above equation

2.5 × (25) + 0.5× 25^{2} + 2.5 + 25 = 402.5 ft

Stopping distance at x = 25

T(25) = 2.5 × (25) + 0.5 × 25^{2}

T(25) = 375 ft

Therefore approximate change in stopping distance = 402.5 - 375 = 27.5 ft

%  change in stopping distance = \frac{27.5}{375} × 100

%  change in stopping distance = 7.34 %

The low temperatures for a week in winter were -2° F, -15° F, -7° F, 1° F, -4° F, 5° F, 8° F. What was the average low
Novay_Z [31]

Answer: -2 F

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average, or <em>mean, </em>of a data set, you must first combine all of the values in the set. Since some of these values are negative, it seems more difficult to solve. But it isn't. To find the mean of any data sets, you can find the absolute value of each numerical value. If you combine these regularly, it would be -15, but that is incorrect. The answer is -2 because some of the values may be negative, but you can find the answer easily. Just remember: To find the mean of data sets with negative values, you can find their absolute values, and solve from there. If this does not work for you, then find another solution. But the correct answer is -2 F.

PLEASEEEEEEE HELPPPPP
coldgirl [10]

If their perimeters are equal, we can add up all the side lengths of each triangle, and set the perimeters equal to each other to find the value of x that satisfies the equation:

x - 2 + x + 3x + 1 = 2x - 5 + x + 4 + 6x - 7

Combine like terms:

5x - 1 = 9x - 8

And finally, solve for x:

7 = 4x

x = \frac{7}{4}

Therefore, x is equal to \frac{7}{4}.

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>
