X=-6

3x+5=2x-1
Subtract 2x from both sides
x+5=-1
Subtract 5 from both sides
x=-6

Check:
3(-6)+5=-13
And
2(-6)-1=-13

A water balloon is thrown out of a window 96 feet above the ground. The balloon is traveling downward at 16 feet per second init

gulaghasi [49]

It hits the ground at h=0

0=-16t^2-16t+96
undistribute -16
0=-16(t^2+t-6)
factor
0=-16(t-2)(t+3)
set to zero
0=t-2
2=t

t+3=0
t=-3, nope, we can't have negative time

at t=2, or 2 seconds

Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks.Josiah has punch c

love history [14]

Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are

$\begin{gathered} T=2+7x \\ \text{and} \\ C=11+4x \end{gathered}$

Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.

Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then

$\begin{gathered} T=C \\ \Rightarrow2+7x=11+4x \\ \Rightarrow3x=9 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{9}{3}=3 \\ \Rightarrow x=3 \end{gathered}$

Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,

$\begin{gathered} x=3 \\ \Rightarrow T=2+7\cdot3=23 \\ \Rightarrow T=23 \end{gathered}$

Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
