13x + 7x - 4x = -40
combine like terms o0n the left
16x = -40
divide both sides by 16
x = -5/2 or -2.5
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
Thus, f(b)−f(a)b−a=3(4)−(3(1))4−(1)=26.
The ball describes a parabola, as you can see in the attached picture. So, the point where the ball strike the ground is the point where the parabola meets the x axis. In fact, the x-axis is the set of points where y=0, which means that the ball has height 0 or -again- it hits the ground.
So, we have to set y=0 in our equation and look for the positive solution. We have

And the positive solution is

So that's the distance from the child where the ball strikes the ground.
Answer:
$10
Step-by-step explanation:
divide $4 by 8. you get $.50. multiply that by 20 and you get $10
