First you would distribute the -12 to x and 5.
You would get -12x-60=144. Now solve for x.
Add 60 on both sides. (Do the inverse)
You get -12x=204
Then divide by -12 on both sides.
Answer: x=-17

First, you distribute -12 to the (x+5) leaving you with the equation 144 = -12x-60. Then you cancel out the 60 by adding 60 to both sides of the equation. After that your equation will be 204 = -12x. Last you divide both sides by -12 to cancel out the 12 and get your answer (x = -17).

We looking for distance

Answer:

240 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure is attached.

The distance the particle travels is the area under the v-t graph over the time interval from 0 min to 4 min. The reason you can't just multiply velocity by time is that the velocity is changing at a constant rate over the given time interval (the line is going upward--the particls is speeding up).

What's the area under the graph?

The red outline forms a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is $A=\frac{1}{2}h(b_1+b_2)$ where the <em>b</em>'s are the lengths of the two parallel base and <em>h</em> is the height (the distance between the bases).
