1 answer:

3 0

1/4 (2x+8)= -16

•Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

2x + 8= -64

•Move constant time the right side and change it’s sign

2x = -64 -8

•Calculate the difference

2x = -72

•Divide both dudes by 2

X= -36

There will be 23 layers of brick, because 7500/321 = 23 with 117 leftover.

One survey estimates that,on average, the retail value of a mid sized car decreases by8% annually.if the retail value of a car i

Scrat [10]

Percentage by which the average value of mid sized car decreases each year = 8%
Retail value of a car today = v dollars
Amount of decrease in the value of the car after 1 year = (8/100) * v
   = 2v/25 dollars
Then
The equation that represents the value of the car after 1 year = v - (2v/25) dollars
   = (25v - 2v)/25 dollars
   = 23v/25 dollars
So following this expression the value of the mid sized car can be easily determined after 1 year. I hope this is the answer you were looking for and the procedure is also clear to you.

A rocket is launched from the top of a 99-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 122 ft/s.

Harman [31]

Remember that c is the initial height. Since we the rocket is in a 99-foot cliff, c=99. Also, we know that the velocity of the rocket is 122 ft/s; therefore v=122
Lets replace the values into the the vertical motion formula to get:
$0=-16 t^{2} +122t+99$
Notice that the rocket hits the ground at the bottom of the cliff, which means that the final height is 99-foot bellow its original position; therefore, our final height will be h=-99
Lets replace this into our equation to get:
$-99=-16 t^{2} +122t+99$
$-16 t^{2} +122+198=0$

Now we can apply the quadratic formula $t= \frac{-b+or- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}$ where a=-16, b=122, and c=198
$t= \frac{-122+or- \sqrt{ 122^{2}-(4)(-16)(198) } }{(2)(-16)}$
$t= \frac{-122+ \sqrt{27556} }{-32}$ or $t= \frac{-122- \sqrt{27556} }{-32}$
$t= \frac{-122+166}{-32}$ or $t= \frac{-122-166}{-32}$
$t= \frac{-11}{8}$ or $t=9$

Since the time can't be negative, we can conclude that the rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds.
