Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Equation</u>

-(x - 8) = 2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide both sides by -1:                    x - 8 = -2
  2. Add 8 on both sides:                        x = 6

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    -(6 - 8) = 2
  2. Subtract:                              -(-2) = 2
  3. Multiply:                               2 = 2

Here we see that 2 does indeed equal 2.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.

What is the kinetic energy of a 50-kg child running to catch the school bus at 2 m/s
aev [14]

Answer:

100 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is as follows:

\boxed{KE=  \frac{1}{2} mv²}

where

KE= kinetic energy (J)

m= mass (kg)

v= velocity (m/s)

Given: m= 50 kg, v= 2 m/s

Substituting the given information into the formula:

KE

= ½(50)(2²)

= ½(50)(4)

= 100 J

Now see if you can solve these word problems about time and distance.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

3.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Ediburgh -------------------------------350 miles-------------------------London

Let the distance traveled by train from Edin to London be "x"

hence the distance traveled by train from London to Edin would be "350-x"

  • The rate of Edin to London train is 60
  • The rate of London to Edin train is 40

Let the time they meet be"t"

Now, we know distance formula to be D = RT

Where

D is distance

R is rate

and

T is time

<u>Train from Edin to London:</u>

x = 60t

<u>Train from London to Edin:</u>

350-x = 40t

Solving for x:

350 - 40t = x

We put this into first equation:

x = 60t

350 - 40t = 60t

350 = 100t

t = 350/100

t = 3.5

They meet after 3.5 hours
