X + y = 120000
0.15x - 0.10y = 5500

Multiply both sides of bottom by 100 to remove decimals

x + y = 120000
15x - 10y = 550000

Multiply both sides of top by 10

10x + 10y = 1200000
15x - 10y = 550000

Add the two

25x = 1750000
x = 70000
He paid $70,000 for the property that made a profit, and paid $50,000 for the property that lost value.

Answer:

2x^3-8x^2+8x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

split them up

use distributive property

2x-6(x-2)

2x^2-4x-6x+12(x+1)

use distributive property again

2x^3+2x^2-4x^2-4x-6x^2-6x+12x+12

simplify

2x^3-8x^2+8x+12

I forgot if you can divide it by 2 or not to simplify it even more. If you can, divide it by 2. I forgot the rules

If you divide it by 2, then the answer is

x^3-4x^2+4x+6

A ball is thrown in the air from a ledge. Its height in feet is represented by  f(x) = –16(x^2 – 5x – 6), where x is the number
leonid [27]
I believe your answer is 6 seconds.

Because the height of the ball = -16(x² - 5x - 6), when the height of the ball is 0, which is when it is on the ground, we can set -16(x² - 5x - 6) equal to 0. This also allows us to divide by -16, and then we can solve the equation:

x² - 5x - 6 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0

So x = 6 or x = -1, and because a quantity of time cannot be negative, x would have to be 6, which means it takes 6 seconds for the ball to reach 0 feet.

I hope this helps!
