Solve for x using distributive property 2(x+7)=13 and 5(x-7)=17

Mathematics
1 answer:
Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x= −1/2, x=52/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+7)=13

(2)(x)+(2)(7)=13(Distribute)

2x+14−14=13−14

2x=−1

2x/<u><em>2</em></u>=−1/<u>2</u>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5(x−7)=17

(5)(x)+(5)(−7)=17(Distribute)

5x+−35=17

5x−35=17

5x−35+35=17+35

5x=52

5x/<u><em>5</em></u>=52/<u>5</u>

A ball is thrown from a height of 110 feet with an initial downward velocity of 6/fts. The ball's height h (in feet) after t sec
Tcecarenko [31]
Rearrange equation.h=-16t^2-6t+110 h = 0 at the ground. divide both sides of the equation by (-2) to yield: 0 = 8t^2+3t - 55 and use quadratic equation h=<span>-b±√(b2 - 4ac)</span>                                                    2awhere a = 8, b= 3, c=-55 Substitute:  [-3 ± √(9 - 4*8*(-55))] / (16) = [6 ± √(36 + 1760)] / (16) = [6 ± √(1796)] /16 = (6 ± 42.3792)/16.  Time can only be positive for this problem...so discard negative answer. = 48.3792/16 = 3.02 seconds

There are 221 students on a field trip.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

The equation that models the students is a linear equation

The equation that models the number of students in each bus is 6x = 216, and the number of students in each bus is 36

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Students = 221

Van = 5

The rest students = 6 buses

Start by calculating the number of students remaining:

Remaining students = 221 - 5

Remaining students = 216

Represent the number of students in each bus with x.

So, we have:

6 buses * x  = Remaining students

This gives

6x = 216

Divide both sides by 6

x = 36

Hence, the equation that models the number of students in each bus is 6x = 216, and the number of students in each bus is 36

Contains the point (-1, 2) and is parallel to<br> x – 2y = -3
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange x - 2y = - 3 into this form

Subtract x from both sides

- 2y = - x - 3 ( divide all terms by - 2 )

y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{3}{2} ← in slope- intercept form

with m = \frac{1}{2}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = \frac{1}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 2) into the partial equation

2 = - \frac{1}{2} + c ⇒ c = 2 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{5}{2} ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 2

2y = x + 5 ( subtract 2y from both sides )

0 = x - 2y + 5 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 5 = x - 2y, thus

x - 2y = - 5 ← in standard form
