Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = 9
2x = 9 - 1
2x = 8
x = 4
Complete question :
There are 575 fireworks to be shot off in a firework display every minute 12 new fireworks are shot off display write a verbal model and algebraic expression to represent the number of fireworks left to be shot off after t minutes.
Answer:
575 - 12t
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Total number of fireworks = 575
Number of shots per minute = 12
To calculate the number of fireworks left to be shot off after t minutes, The total number of fireworks already shot after the same time interval t in minutes, is first obtained, this is equivalent to (12*t). The result is then subtracted from the total number of fireworks to be shof off.
In algebraic terms
[total number of fireworks on display - (number of shots per minute × t)]
575 - 12t
A. is obviously the most easiest one, as you just have to fill it up 3 times to get 3 gallons.
The next one to measure exactly 3 gallons of water is B), because:
1) the 100-gallon barrel is more than 1 gallon, and is much more harder than 3 gallons.
2) Each person's 'palm' can hold different amounts of water, and so it can vary by the size of the palm.
So IF it cannot be (A), then your next choice is (B), as you only need 768 teaspoons for each gallon.
But, you should report this problem to the teacher, since A is obviously the best choice
Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.
-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)
-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36
-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.
28y=-56
divide by 28 on both sides.
Y= -2
Then substitute y into one of the equations.
x+6(-2)=-6
x-12=-6
x=6
The ordered pair is (6,-2).
Answer:
-4^4(4^7), in that case, the answer would be (B) -4^11
