What numbers would you subtract from each side of the equation x + 12 = 17 + 3 to get the variable by itself ?

Ok so basically when you work with equations you want to do the opposite regardless if the sign is adding or subtracting do the opposite. Ok so x+12=17+3 So first we can not simplify the numbers on the left side so we leave it. Now 17+3 is 20 so x+12=20 do the inverse because you want to get x by itself to see what its secret number is. so 20-12 is 8 x=8 hoped that helped .:))

The number you would subtract on both sides would be 12... but this in and of itself is not the first step. the way you would solve this is by:
combine like terms. x + 12=20
then, subtract 12 from both sides to get variable alone.
you will end up with a final answer of x=8

What is the value of x in the figure? x= ?

Otrada [13]

X = 68

Since the angle opposite of it is a right angle, we know that 22 + x has to equal 90 also.

So just take 90 - 22 = 68 degrees

A bird sees a worm on the ground 50 m. below. The bird dives for the worm at a speed of 6 m/sec. The function h\left( t \right)

iragen [17]

Given:

The height of the bird at time t is given by the function $h(t)=-4.9t^2+6t+50$

We need to determine the time it takes the worm to be eaten by the bird.

Time taken:

The time can be determined by substituting h(t) = 0 in the function.

Thus, we have;

$0=-4.9t^2+6t+50$

Switch sides, we get;

$-4.9t^2+6t+50=0$

Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.

Thus, we get;

$t=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^{2}-4(-4.9) 50}}{2(-4.9)}$

Simplifying, we get;

$t=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36+980}}{-9.8}$

$t=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{1016}}{-9.8}$

$t=\frac{-6 \pm 31.87}{-9.8}$

The values of t are given by

$t=\frac{-6 + 31.87}{-9.8}$ and $t=\frac{-6 - 31.87}{-9.8}$

$t=\frac{25.87}{-9.8}$ and $t=\frac{-37.87}{-9.8}$

$t=-2.4$ and $t=3.9$

Since, the value of t cannot be negative, then $t=3.9$

Thus, the time taken by the bird to eat the worm is $t=3.9$ seconds.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
