Answer:

The answer is x = -32

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of x, e must first distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.

6(x - 7) = 8x + 22

6x - 42 = 8x + 22

Now we will add/subtract values so that all x values are on the right and all number values are on the left.

6x - 42 = 8x + 22

-42 = 2x + 22

-64 = 2x

Now to get the final answer, divide both sides by 2.

-32 = x

Fabio and Gwen are saving money to buy a new gaming station. They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station. Gwen we

vaieri [72.5K]

x represents the number of lawns weeded by Gwen and y represents the number of dogs walked by Fabio.

Gwen charges $12 each time she weeds a yard and Fabio charges $9 each time he walks a dog.

So, for x number of weeds, Gwen earned 12x and for y number of dogs walked, Fabio earned 9y.

They need at least $510 to purchase the new gaming station.

Therefore,

12x + 9y ≥ 510

Also, the number of dog walks that Fabio has scheduled should not be more than twice the number of yards Gwen has scheduled to weed.

Therefore,

y ≤ 2x

Also, Fabio will walk at least 25 dogs.

Therefore,

y ≥ 25

Hence, the constraints are:

12x + 9y ≥ 510

y ≤ 2x

y ≥ 25

a ball is thrown straight up from the top of a 128 foot tall building with an initial speed of 32 feet per second. the height of

STatiana [176]

Factoring, you have
h(t) = -16(t^2 -2 -8) = -16(t -4)(t +2)

The ball hits the ground when h(t) = 0, so
0 = -16(t -4)(t +2)
t = 4 or -2

The positive solution is the one of interest.
It will take 4 seconds for the ball to hit the ground.

Solve the equation by Completing the Square<br> x2 – 10x + 13 = 0

user100 [1]

Answer:

$x=5+\sqrt{12}$

$x=5-\sqrt{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-10x+13=0$

$x^2-10x=-13$

$x^2-10x+(\frac{10}{2})^2 =-13+(\frac{10}{2})^2$

$x^2-10x+(5)^2=-13+(5)^2$

$x^2-10x+25=-13+25\\x^2-10x+25=12$

Factor.

$(x-5)^2=12$

Extract the square root.

$x-5=\frac{+}{} \sqrt{12}$

Add 5

$x=5+\sqrt{12}$

$x=5-\sqrt{12}$
