Answer:

  • yes
  • 2x +30 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding the same number to both sides of the equation is an acceptable move. The addition property of equality tells Grace that the value of the variable will remain unchanged by such a move.

Her new equation would be ...

  2x +20 +10 = 15 +10

  2x +30 = 25 . . . . the result of Grace's move

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

There may be very good reasons why Grace would want to do that. If solving the equation is Grace's intent, that move would be counterproductive. For the purpose of solving the equation, it would be more productive to either subtract 20 from both sides, or divide both sides by 2. These steps would give, respectively, ...

  2x = -5

  x +10 = 7.5

Arthur drops a ball from a height of 81 feet above the ground. Its height, h, is given by the equation h = –16t2 + 81, where t i
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the position function and need to find the value of t when h<17.

Create an inequality that represents this situation:

-16t^2+81 The "less than" sign makes this very specifically a conjunction problem as opposed to a disjunction. That's important to the solution. But we'll get there.

The simplest way to solve this is to subtract 81 from both sides:

-16t^2 then divide both sides by -16:

t^2>4 Notice now that the sign is facing the other way since we had to divide by a negative number. Now it's a disjunction. The solution set to this inequality is that t>2 or t<-2. First and foremost, time will never be negative, so we can disregard the -2. Even if that was t<2, the more time that goes by, the greater the time interval is, not the lesser. It's the "<" that doesn't make sense, not only the -2. The solution to this inequality is

t > 2 sec. That means that after 2 seconds, the height of the ball is less than 17 feet.

Winston drove 70 mph. If he drives for 3.5 hours how many miles will Winston drive?
Fofino [41]
This problem can be solved using two equations:
The first represents the total trip, which is the miles driven in the morning added to those in the afternoon. Let's call the hours driven in the morning X and the hours driven in the afternoon Y. We get: X + Y = 248.
The second equation relates the miles driven in the morning compared to the afternoon. Since 70 fewer miles were driven in the morning than the afternoon, then X = Y - 70.
Now substitute the equation for morning hours (equation 2) into the total miles equation (equation 1). We get:
(Y - 70) + Y = 248
2Y - 70 = 248
2Y = 318
Y = 159
We know that Winston drove 159 miles in the afternoon.

To find the morning hours, just substitute 159 into the equation for morning hours (equation 2)
X = 159 - 70
X = 89
We now know that Winston drove 89 miles in the morning.

We can check our work by plugging both distances into the total distance equation: 89 + 159 = 248

5(x+3)(x+2)-3(x2+2x+1)
mr Goodwill [35]

[ Answer ]

\boxed{5x^{2} \ + \ 13x \ + \ 27}

[ Explanation ]

  • Simplify: 5(x + 3)(x + 2) - 3(x2 + 2x + 1)

--------------------------------------

  • Add Similar Elements: 2x + 2x = 4x

5(x + 3)(x + 2) - 3(4x + 1)

  • Expand: 5(x + 3)(x + 2) - 3(4x + 1): 5x^{2} + 25x + 30

5x^{2} + 25x + 30 - 3(4x + 1)

  • Expand: - 3(4x + 1): -12x - 3

5x^{2} + 25x + 30 - 12x - 3

  • Simplify: 5x^{2} + 25x + 30 - 12x - 3: 5x^{2} + 13x + 27

= 5x^{2} + 13x + 27

\boxed{[] \ Eclipsed \ []}
