Find the value of x and KL if K is between J and L "JK=2x,KL=x+2, and JL =5x-10"

First, your equation would be set up like this: 2x+x+2=5x-10. Then you would combine like terms. So:
2x+(1)x is 3x
3x +2=5x-10.
Then you would combine like terms on opposite sides. This requires you to subtract the lesser number (Of the number/variable). So:
5x-3x = 2x
Now you have 2= 2x-10
Then add 10 on both sides (inverse operations)
now you have 12= 2x
Dived for x. X equals 6
NOW PLUG IT BACK IN THE EQUATION!
KL is x+2. = 6+2 is 8
Answers:
x= 6
KL = 8

Now, for checking your answers, solve x for everything.
so the equation for checking would be 2(6)+6+2=5(6)-10
And then order of operations:
12+6+2=30-10
20 = 30-10
20=20

Happy Solving!

Answer:

0.5 < t < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The function reaches its maximum height at ...

t = -b/(2a) = -16/(2(-16)) = 1/2 . . . . . . where a=-16, b=16, c=32 are the coefficients of f(t)

The function can be factored to find the zeros.

f(t) = -16(t^2 -1 -2) = -16(t -2)(t +1)

The factors are zero for ...

x = -1 and x = +2

The ball is falling from its maximum height during the period (0.5, 2), so that is a reasonable domain if you're only interested in the period when the ball is falling.
