A hot air balloon is cruising at an altitude of 120 meters above the ground when it begins its descent. The balloon descends at

a rate of 4.5 meters per minute. Explain how you would set up an equation to model when the balloon will reach an altitude of 75 meters above the ground. Then solve the equation and check your solution.

Answer:

120 - 4.5t= 75

t = 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation :

120 - 4.5t= 75

the solution:

-4.5 t = 75-120

-4.5t = -45

t = -45/(-4.5) = 10 minutes

Which statement is NOT true about the ratio of the leg lengths of increment ΔLRM and increment ΔJSK?
Alona [7]
Given the similar triangles, it can always be noted that similarity can be derived from the proportionality of the leg lengths, however it is not true the the ratio of the proportion of the leg lengths is equal to the slope of the triangles. Thus the false statement is:
A]  <span>The slope of the hypotenuse is represented by the ratio of the leg lengths.</span>

How do you solve these equations? I don't want you to answer all of them, just tell me how to solve each type of equation on the
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

8. Identify the common denominator; express each fraction using that denominator; combine the numerators of those rewritten fractions and express the result over the common denominator. Factor out any common factors from numerator and denominator in your result. (It's exactly the same set of instructions that apply for completely numerical fractions.)

9. As with numerical fractions, multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator; cancel common factors from numerator and denominator.

10. The method often recommended is to multiply the equation by a common denominator to eliminate the fractions. Then solve in the usual way. Check all answers. If one of the answers makes your multiplier (common denominator) be zero, it is extraneous. (10a cannot have extraneous solutions; 10b might)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a couple of these, it is helpful to remember that (a-b) = -(b-a).

<h3>8d.</h3>

\dfrac{5}{x+2}+\dfrac{25-x}{x^2-3x-10}=\dfrac{5(x-5)}{(x+2)(x-5)}+\dfrac{25-x}{(x+2)(x-5)}\\\\=\dfrac{5x-25+25-x}{(x+2)(x-5)}=\dfrac{4x}{x^2-3x-10}

___

<h3>9b.</h3>

\displaystyle\frac{\left(\frac{x}{x-2}\right)}{\left(\frac{2x}{2-x}\right)}=\frac{x}{x-2}\cdot\frac{-(x-2)}{2x}=\frac{-x(x-2)}{2x(x-2)}=-\frac{1}{2}

___

<h3>10b.</h3>

\dfrac{3}{x-1}+\dfrac{6}{x^2-3x+2}=2\\\\\dfrac{3(x-2)}{(x-1)(x-2)}+\dfrac{6}{(x-1)(x-2)}=\dfrac{2(x-1)(x-2)}{(x-1)(x-2)}\\\\3x-6+6=2(x^2-3x+2) \qquad\text{multiply by the denominator}\\\\2x^2-9x+4=0 \qquad\text{subtract 3x}\\\\(2x-1)(x-4)=0 \qquad\text{factor; x=1/2, x=4}

Neither solution makes any denominator be zero, so both are good solutions.
