Answer: 29

Step-by-step explanation:

The total is 144. We know Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It says the same number of pages were read Thursday and Friday. By adding up Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday you should get 86. Now to find out how many need to be read to finish the book you would subtract that from 144. You would then get 58 and divide by 2; giving you 29

Answer: 29 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :The book has 144 pages.

On Monday Carlos read 27 pages.On Tuesday he read 31 pages .On Wednesday he read 28 pages .

Let x be the number of pages read by Carlos on Thursday then the number of   pages read on Friday will also be x.

Then , according to the question , we have

27+31+28+x+x=144\\\\\Rightarrow\ 86+2x=144\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=144-86\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{58}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=29

Hence, he read 29 pages on Thursday.

What does X equal in the equation 8(4-x) =7x +2
drek231 [11]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8(4 - x) = 7x + 2 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

32 - 8x = 7x + 2 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

32 - 15x = 2 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

- 15x = - 30 ( divide both sides by - 15 )

x = 2

Which image shows a plane slicing a double-napped cone to produce a hyperbola?<br><br> Answer is D
Butoxors [25]

The <u>second image</u> in the diagram is a hyperbola. As can be seen, the plane cutting the cone can be at any angle but never equal to the slant angle of the cone. This has a very important implication. The plane cuts both cones of the double-napped cone. The third double-napped cone of Figure 3 shows two hyperbolas.

 PLEASE HELP!! A tennis ball machine serves a ball vertically into the air from a height of two feet, with an initial speed of 1
ch4aika [34]
Thank you for posting your question here. I hope the answer below will help. 

Vo=110 feet per second 
<span>ho=2 feet </span>
<span>So, h(t) = -16t^2 +110t +2 </span>
<span>Take the derivative: h'(t) = 110 -32t </span>
<span>The maximum height will be at the inflection when the derivative crosses the x-axis aka when h'(t)=0. </span>
<span>So, set h'(t)=0 and solve for t: </span>
<span>0 = 110 -32t </span>
<span>-110 = -32t </span>
<span>t=3.4375 </span>
<span>t=3.44 seconds </span>
