I don't know what you mean by property. Do you mean like, commutative, distributive, etc?

but, if this is what you mean:

to solve this:

The operation here is subtraction. Do the inverse. So, add 6 to both sides of the equation

10 + 6 = 16

1/2x - 6 + 6 = 1/2x. (the 6 cancels out)

1/2x = 16

Now, I'm going to assume 1/2 is supposed to be a fraction (not division). So, 1/2 is right next to x which represents multiplication, so do the opposite which is division.

16 divided by 1/2 = 32

1/2x divided by 1/2 = x

x = 32.

To estimate the height of a building, a stone is dropped from the top of the building into a pool of water at ground level. The

kupik [55]

Answer:

The height of the building is 153.664 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$s(t) = 4.9t^2 + v_0 t + s_0$

Here t represents the time v₀ represents the initial velocity, s₀ represents the initial height and s(t) represents the height after t seconds.

It is given that the splash is seen 5.6 seconds after the stone is dropped.

That means after 5.6 seconds height s(t) = 0, Also the initial velocity of the stone is 0.

Substitute respective values in the above function.

$0 = 4.9(5.6)^2 +5.6(0)+ s_0$

$0 = 4.9(31.36)+ s_0$

$s_0=-153.664$

As height can't be a negative number so the value of s₀ is 153.664.

Hence, the height of the building is 153.664 meter.

There are 4,000 books in the town's library. Of these 2,600 are fiction. Write a percent equation that you can use to find the p

defon

Answer:

x = (2600/4000) × 100%

x = 0.65 × 100%

x = 65%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage equation that can be used to find the percent of books that are fiction can only be found where the number of fiction books is known and the total number of books available is known as well.

Given;

Number of fiction books = 2,600

Number of books = 4,000

let the percent of books that are fiction be x

x = (2600/4000) × 100%

x = 0.65 × 100%

x = 65%
