Answer:
X - 3 = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
X decreased by 3 means X-3.
If X - 3 is 5, then it can be written as X - 3 = 5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

step 2
Using proportion

step 3
Convert to mixed number

Answer:
20%
Explanation:
What we know:
- there are 25 cans in total
- 5 of them are root beer cans
Using this information, we can say that 5/25 cans are root beer cans. To find the percent, we change the fraction into a decimal and then multiply it by 100.
To change 5/25 into a decimal, we divide the numerator and denominator.
5/25=0.2
And we multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent:
0.2*100=20
Therefore, 20% of Cam’s cans are root beer cans.

Answer:
t = 2.52 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
h=139-15t-16t^2
We want to know when the ball hits the ground
That would be when h=0
0 = 139-15t-16t^2
We can use the quadratic formula to find t
t = -b ± sqrt(b^2-4ac)
----------------------
2a
where a = -16 b = -15 and c = 139
t = -(-15) ± sqrt((-15)^2-4(-16)139)
----------------------
2(-16)
t = (15) ± sqrt(225+8896)
----------------------
-32
t = (15) ± sqrt(9121)
----------------------
-32
t = 15+ sqrt(9121) t = 15- sqrt(9121)
-------------------- or -------------------
-32 -32
-3.453247707 or 2.515747707
Since time cannot be negative
2.515747707
Round to the nearest hundredth
t = 2.52 seconds
Answer: -12
Work: Since -4 is in parentheses, I did -4 / 5 first. After doing the division, I had gotten -0.8. I multiplied -0.8 by 15, and had gotten -12.
