Answer:
I think you're supposed to add all the fives together. That is what MY teacher taught me to do :/
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape is a square that is tilted and looks like a rhombus. Just add the 5's together.
Step-by-step explanation:

is the required answer
1/2 is 2/4, and so we would need another 1/4 to make it equal to 3/4
1/8 is not equal to 1/4, so 1/2+1/8 does not equal 3/4
For this case we have the following equation:

Where,
t: time
v: initial speed
s: initial height
Substituting values we have:

By the time the ball hits the ground we have:

From here, we clear the value of time:
Using the quadratic equation we have:

Doing the calculations we have:

Discarding the negative root, we have that the time is:
Answer:
it takes the ball to hit the floor about:
1.15 seconds
9x - 4(x - 2) =x + 20
We move all terms to the left:
- 9x -4(x - 2) - (x + 20) = 0
Multiply
- 9x - 4x -(x + 20) + 8 = 0
We get rid of the parentheses.
We add all the numbers and all the variables.
We move all terms containing x to the left hand side, all other terms to the right hand side
