Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

5(x - 8) = 20

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide 5 on both sides:                     x - 8 = 4
  2. Add 8 on both sides:                         x = 12

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    5(12 - 8) = 20
  2. Subtract:                              5(4) = 20
  3. Multiply:                               20 = 20

Here we see that 20 does indeed equal 20.

∴ x = 12 is a solution to the equation.

The rule below shows how to find the position of an object thrown upward with initial velocity of 15 feet per second. Which answ
nekit [7.7K]

Here we're applying a basic physics rule for vertical motion where the only pull on the object is gravity.


This rule has the form


h(t) = h + v t + (1/2)a*t^2

o o


To adapt this rule to this particular question replace h with 0, as the

o

upward path of the object begins at 0 ft. Replace v with +15 ft/sec.

o


Replace "a" with (-32.2 ft/(sec^2); this is the acceleration due to gravity.


Then we have the following, with the label F(t):


F(t) = 0 + (15 ft/sec)t + (1/2)(-32.2 ft)/(sec^2), or


F(t) = 15t - 16.1t^2. Thus, Choice D is correct.


Please note: To avoid confusion, please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:


F(t) = -16t^2 + 15t

A homeowner puts a patio in the northwest corner of a square backyard. The area of the patios is 750
miskamm [114]

Answer:

17.6621ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the side length of the patio x

SInce the area of the patio = 750

Area of patio = x * x

Area of patio = x²

750 = x²

Swap

x² = 750

x = √750

x = 27.39ft

Length of the backyard = 27.39ft - 25ft = 2.39ft

Width of the backyard = 27.39ft - 20ft = 7.39ft

Area of the backyard = 2.39 * 7.39

Area of the backyard = 17.6621ft²
