Move the -c to the left it will change into a positive
3c -15 = 17 -c will turn into
3c+c-15=17 add the like terms
4c+-15=17 move the -15 to the other side of the = sign
4c = 17 + 15 add 17&15
4c=32 divide 4 on both sides
c=8

Answer:

c=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3c + -15 = 17 + -1c

Reorder the terms:

-15 + 3c = 17 + -1c

Solving

-15 + 3c = 17 + -1c

Solving for variable 'c'.

Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'c' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 3c + c = 17 + -1c + c

Combine like terms: 3c + c = 4c

-15 + 4c = 17 + -1c + c

Combine like terms: -1c + c = 0

-15 + 4c = 17 + 0

-15 + 4c = 17

Add '15' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 15 + 4c = 17 + 15

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0

0 + 4c = 17 + 15

4c = 17 + 15

Combine like terms: 17 + 15 = 32

4c = 32

Divide each side by '4'.

c = 8

Simplifying

c = 8

1. IF the function f(x) = 2(x – 3)2 – 4 is shifted vertically three units up and horizontally

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

I believe it is 2(x-5)²−1

Step-by-step explanation:

The parentheses represent the horizontal shift. (X-__) is a shift to the right. (X+__) is a shift to the left. The last number of the function is the vertical shift. A negative number is shifting down and a post number is shifting up.

So, if the graph shifts up three units, then you add 3 + -4 to get -1. And if the graph shifts right 2 units, then you subtract 2 from -3 to get -5.

A man can drive a motorboat 70 miles down the Colorado River in the same amount of time that he can drive 40 miles upstream. Fin

pochemuha

The speed of the current is 40.34 mph approximately.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, a man can drive a motorboat 70 miles down the Colorado River in the same amount of time that he can drive 40 miles upstream.

We have to find the speed of the current if the speed of the boat is 11 mph in still water. Now, let the speed of river be a mph. Then, speed of boat in upstream will be a-11 mph and speed in downstream will be a+11 mph.

And, we know that, $\text{ distance } =\text{ speed }\times \text{ time }$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { So, for upstream } \rightarrow 40=(a-11) \times \text { time taken } \rightarrow \text { time taken }=\frac{40}{a-11}} \\\\ {\text { And for downstream } \rightarrow 70=(a+11) \times \text { time taken } \rightarrow \text { time taken }=\frac{70}{a+11}}\end{array}$

We are given that, time taken for both are same. So $\frac{40}{a-11}=\frac{70}{a+11}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 40(a+11)=70(a-11)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 40 a+440=70 a-770} \\\\ {\rightarrow 70 a-40 a=770+440} \\\\ {\rightarrow 30 a=1210} \\\\ {\rightarrow a=40.33}\end{array}$
