When the balloon is on the ground, it is at point 0. It starts to go up at 5 f/m for a time of 4 minutes. So we will multiply 5 by 4 to get 20. At this point, the balloon is 20 feet off the ground. However, we now know that the balloon descends at 2 f/m at a time of 7 minutes. So we must multiply 2 by 7 to get 14. So we know it was at 20, and then it went down by 14.
20 - 14 = 6 feet
This means that the balloon is now 6 feet above the ground.
I hope I've helped! :)
Answer:the length of line segment AC is 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram is shown in the attached photo
Since Angle A B C and B C A are congruent. It means that they are equal. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two equal sides and two equal base angles. Since Angle A B C and B C A are equal, it means that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. It also means that sides AC and AB are equal. The expression becomes
3x - 7 = 2x
3x - 2x = 7
x =7
To determine the length of line segment AC. We will substitute x = 7 into 3x - 7. It becomes
3×7 - 7 = 21 - 7 = 14
Answer:
42 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We subtract 26 1/6 from 68 1/2. We do this by finding the LCM of 6 and 2. That is 6. We multiply 1/2 by 3/3 to get 3/6. Now, we subtract. 68 - 26 is 42, and 3/6 - 1/6 is 2/6. Our answer is 42 2/6. That can be simplified to 42 1/3.
