What is the value of x, when 10(x + 2) = 5(x + 8)?

1 answer:

7 0

The value of x is 4. The steps to solving the equation are to use distributive property first so that the equation then looks like this: 10x+20=5x+40
Next you would combine like terms and then the equation would look like this: 5x+20=40
Then you would use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 20 from 40 so your equation will now look like this: 5x=20
Then you use the division property of equality to divide 20 by 5 to get x=4

There are 81 red, blue and yellow

wel

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Given

Total counters = 81

red counters are 9 more than the yellow ones.

And Yellow counter = blue counter

So let the Yellow counter be x and as blue counter and yellow counter are same then blue counter will be also x

And by the question

Red counter = 9 + x

Now

9 + x + x + x = 81

9 + 3x = 81

3x = 81 - 9

3x = 72

x = 72 / 3

Therefore x = 24

Now

Red counters = 9 + 24 = 33

Blue counters = 24

Yellow counters = 24

Hope it helped :)

2. You throw a softball straight up into the air at a velocity of 30 feet per second. You release the softball at a height of 5.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$-16t^2+30t+5.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity=30 ft/s

Initial position= $s_0=5.8 ft$

We have to write a mathematical model for height of the softball by using the position equation

The position equation on Earth's surface is given by

$h(t)=-16t^2+v_0t+s_0$

Where $v_0=$ Initial velocity

$s_0$ =Initial position

Substitute the values in the equation then, we get

$h(t)=-16t^2+30t+5.8$

Hence, the mathematical model for height of the softball is given by

$-16t^2+30t+5.8$

Are there any clusters or outliers in the scatter plot?

IrinaVladis [17]

The correct answer is D because there is one area that is a cluster (bundle of dots in one area) and one outlier (away from all the other points; irrelevant).
