Answer:

C. 4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 10 pounds

Extension, e = 3 inches

First of all, we would determine the spring constant (k) using the following formula;

Force = spring constant * extension

10 = spring constant * 3

Spring constant = 10/3

Spring constant = 3.33 pounds per inches.

Next, we would find the extension of the spring when a force of 15 pounds is applied;

F = ke

15 = 3.33 * e

Extension, e = 15/3.33

Extension, e = 4.5 inches.

Jake thinks that a rhombus is not always a parallelogram.Is jake correct?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

No, a rhombus is a quadrilateral, with four equal-length sides and opposite sides parallel to each other. All rhombuses are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rhombuses. The opposite interior angles of rhombuses are always congruent. A parallelogram is just a four sided closed shape where opposite sides are parallel.

I hope this helps!

If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in
monitta

x = \frac{-11}{3}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the next steps necessary to completely solve the equation for x. Let's solve this :

2x - 8 = 5x + 3

⇒ 2x - 8 = 5x + 3

⇒ (2x - 8)-2x = (5x + 3)-2x { subtract 2x from both side }

⇒ 0 - 8 = 5x-2x + 3

⇒ - 8 = 3x + 3

⇒ - 8 -3= 3x + 3-3 { subtract 3 from both sides }

⇒ - 11 = 3x + 0

⇒ - 11 = 3x

⇒ \frac{-11}{3}  = \frac{3}{3} x { divide 3 from both sides }

⇒ x = \frac{-11}{3}
