The opposite if multiplication is division. 48/6 = 8 Max has 8 stickers.

Max has eight stickers because you are supposed to divide 48÷6

Answer: - 5

Explanation:

1) Some information in the question is missing: the height of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop.

2) Here is the complete question: "Across a horizontal distance of 25 feet, a roller coaster has a steep drop. The height of the roller coaster at the bottom of the drop is -125 feet, compared to its height at the top of the drop. What is the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot"

3) Now, you can calculate the average amount that the roller coaster's height changes over each horizontal foot, using this formula:

Average change = [change in height] / [change in horizontal]

4) Change in height = [final height - initial height] = - 125 feet

5) Change in horizontal distance = 25 feet

6) Answer: - 125 feet / 25 feet = - 5.

The negative sign means that the height decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Question 15

We can search x such that:

$x^2-4x+4=2x-5\\\\\text{*** subtract 2x-5 from both sides ***}\\ \\x^2-4x-2x+4+5=0\\ \\\text{*** simplify ***}\\ \\x^2-6x+9=0 \\ \\\text{*** we can notice a perfect square ***}\\ \\x^2 -2\cdot x \cdot 3 + 3^2=(x-3)^2=0\\\\\text{*** taking the root ***}\\\\x-3=0\\\\\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x=3 \ \ }$

There is 1 solution.

Question 16

Again, we search x such that:

$x^2-8x+15=2x-6\\\\\text{*** subtract 2x-6 from both sides ***}\\\\x^2-8x-2x+15+6=0\\\\\text{*** simplify ***}\\\\x^2-10x+21=0 \\ \\\text{*** we are looking for two roots where the sum is 10 and the product is 21 = 7 x 3 ***} \\\\x^2-7x-3x+21=x(x-7)-3(x-7)=(x-3)(x-7)=0\\\\\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x= 3 \ or \ x =7 \ \ }$ There are two solutions.
