Three times a number = 3x
Increased by 8 = + 8
So far we have: 3x + 8
no more than = <=
the number decreased by 4 = x -4
Put it all together and we have:
3x + 8 <= x - 4
Solve for x
3x + 8 <= x - 4
3x - x <= -4 - 8
2x <= -12
2x / 2 <= -12 / 2
x <= -6
-6 is the number / answer.
When the ball hits the ground, the height is 0.
0 = 100 - 16t²
0 = (10 - 4t)(10 + 4t)
0 = 10 - 4t or 0 = 10 + 4t
4t = 10 or -4t = 10
t = 
or t = 
Time cannot be negative (unless you have a time machine) so disregard
Answer: t = 
= 2.5 seconds
Answer:
<h3>40 degrees</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
If the temperature dropped 5 degrees every hour, this can be expressed as;
5 degree = 1 hour
To get the total number of degree dropped fro 8hours, we will say;
x degree = 8hours where x is the temperature drop in all
Solving both equality
5 degree = 1 hour
x degree = 8 hours
cross multiply
x * 1 = 5 * 8
x = 40 degrees
<em>Hence the total temperature drop in all is 40°</em>
Assume L=1.5W, where W=width, L= Length of the triangle.
Therefore,
Perimeter (P) = 2(W+L) = 2(W+1.5W) = 2(2.5W) = 5W=20 => W=20/5 = 4 in
Then, L=1.5W = 1.5*4 = 6 in
Area, A= L*W = 6*4 = 24 in^2
