Answer:

elevation refers to the height of the balloon. Descent refers to moving down, and rate of descent refers to how quickly the balloon moved down.

  In this case, we have a descent of 2,125 feet (initial height of 5,439 - ending height of 3,314). Since it took 34 minutes for the balloon to descend this distance, we divide the descent by the time (2,125/34). This gives us a rate of 62.5 feet per minute.

  That means that the balloon traveled downward 62.5 feet every minute. That's a fast moving balloon!

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the answer to 11x+4+51+2x+8=180
Digiron [165]
Hi,

Work:

Equation;

11x + 4 + 51 + 2x + 8 = 180

Collect like terms and calculate sum of positive numbers.

13x + 63 = 180

Move constant +63 to the right side and change its sign.

13x = 180 - 63

Subtract numbers.

13x = 117

Divide both sides of equation with 13.

x = 9


Hope this helps.

X^2-12x+12=0 completing the square
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

x1 = 6 + 2√6 or x2 = 6 - 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 12x + 12 = 0

We need to use formula:

a² - 2ab + b² = (a - b)².

x² - 12x  =  - 12

x² - 2*6x + 6²- 6² = - 12

(x - 6)² - 36 = -12

(x - 6)² = - 12 + 36

(x -6)² = 24

(x - 6) = √24 or (x-6) = -√24

(x - 6) = 2√6 or (x-6) = - 2√6

x = 6 + 2√6 or x = 6 - 2√6
