Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Verticle angles are always congruent, so:

(8x + 15) = 143

Now, we can solve to isolate x:

8x + 15 - 15 = 143 - 15 (subtract 15 from both sides)

8x/8 = 128/8 (divide both sides by 8)

x = 16

You can always plug in the value of x to the original equation to check your answer:

8(16) + 15 = 143

For this case we have an equation of the form:
$h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * (t ^ 2) + v0 * t + h0
$
Where,
h0: initial height
v0: initial speed
a: acceleration
Substituting values we have:
$h (t) = (1/2) * (- 32) * (t ^ 2) + 0.25 * t + 12
$
Rewriting we have:
$h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 0.25 * t + 12
$
Note: see attached image
Answer:
$h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 0.25 * t + 12$

X/x+9 (original fraction)

x+1/ x+10 = 4/13

x+1=4 so x=3 and x+10=13 so again x=3

now that you have the value of x, substitute it into the original fraction to get:
