Let's assume the cost 20 years ago equals x

3x - 3 = 75

or

x = 75 / 3 + 3

When Ben jumps into the air, his height in feet above the surface of the water is given by h = − 16 t 2 + t + 6 where t is the a
Andrej [43]

Answer: 0.64sec

Step-by-step explanation:

h= -16t2 + t + 6

a= -16 b=1 c= 6

Using the quadratic equation formular

X = -b ± √b2 - 4ac / 2a

X= -1 ± √1^2 - 4(-16)6 / 2(-16)

=-1 ±√1+384 / -32

= -1 ±√385 / -32

Either X = -1 + 19.62 / -32

= 18.62 /-32

=-0.58 sec

Or X = -1-19.62 / -32

= -20.62 / -32

= 0.64sec

Since there is no negative time, therefore our answer is 0.64sec

notka56 [123]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using distance formula,

Let the distance between point E and F = ef,

ef  =  \sqrt{{(7 - 1)}^{2}  +  {(2 - 9)}^{2} }  \\ ef =  \sqrt{85}  \\  = 9.219544457

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

  • Melissa: 30
  • Ryan: 23
  • Chau: 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the number of messages Ryan sent. Then Chau sent 3r and Melissa sent r+7. Their total was ...

  (r+7) +(r) +(3r) = 122

  5r +7 = 122 . . . . . collect terms

  5r = 115 . . . . . . . . subtract 7

  r = 23 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

Ryan sent 23, Melissa sent 30, and Chau sent 69 text messages.
