Since this is a subtraction problem, Jeremy needed to distribute the negative to the terms in the numerator. Jeremy only distributed it to the<span> x</span>2<span>-term, and not to 15. Instead, he kept the 15 positive. When he combined like terms, he got a result of 5 for the constants. The correct result is </span>x<span> + 5.</span>

Answer:

Sample Response: Since this is a subtraction problem, Jeremy needed to distribute the negative to the terms in the numerator. Jeremy only distributed it to the x2-term, and not to 15. Instead, he kept the 15 positive. When he combined like terms, he got a result of 5 for the constants. The correct result is x + 5.

Help me please?? solve using proportion
gulaghasi [49]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  2 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion says the ratio of one thing to another is the same for different amounts. Here, we want cups, so we can use the proportion ...

  cups/people = 2/12 = x/15 . . . . . where x is the number we want to find

Multiplying by 15 gives ...

  x = 15(2/12) = 5/2 = 2 1/2

You will need 2 1/2 cups of zucchini to feed 15 people with the same recipe.

The sketch shows the distance three runners travel during a race. Describe what occurs at times A,B,C and D. In what order do th
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Notice that the distance is in the y-axis, and the time in the x-axis.

First, let's see what happens in the four points:

A) You can see that in point A, the steepness of the line increases, this means that the speed of the runner increases in that point.

B) In this point, the runner that increased his/her speed in point A crosses the graph of another runner, this means that they are at the same distance to the end and at the same time.

C) In this point again two runners are at the same distance and the same time, and we also can see that the runer that increased his/her speed at point A, now has reached the end of the race (because his line stops increasing, wich means that he/she already finished the race)

D) The las runner finishes the race at point D.

Then the first runner that finishes the race is the one with the shorter graph (shorter graph means that he ran for less time than the others, wich means that he/she finished first)

The last runner is the one that finished at point D,

The middle one finishes right after the point C.
