We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:

276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.

To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:

104/276 is about 0.3768.

Multiply this by 100:

37.68

So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.

xz_007 [3.2K]

When the ball is in the ground, its height is basically equal to zero thus making our equation,

<span>    -16t^2 + 272t + 1344 = 0</span>

Simplifying the equation will give us,

<span>  - t^2 + 17t + 84 = 0 or t^2 – 17t – 84 = 0</span>

Factoring out the equation will give us,

<span>   (t – 21)(t + 4) = 0</span>

Thus, t = 21 or t = -4. -4 is an extraneous root. Thus, the answer is t = 21.

<span>Answer: 21 seconds</span>

Graph the inequality. -8 &lt; y + 2x &lt; 14
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Split it into 2 inequalities:

-8 < y + 2x

y + 2x < 14

Isolate y , subtract 2x from first and then from second

-8 -2x < y

y < 14 -2x

Rewrite it so it looks pretty?

y > -2x-8

y < -2x +14

You can use the calculator to graph each inequality.

The solution or the system is the area where the 2 solutions for each line overlap.
