Answer:

<h2><u>B.</u> <u>It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on EDG.

<em />

Simplifying

7h + -5(3h + -8) = -72

Reorder the terms:

7h + -5(-8 + 3h) = -72

7h + (-8 * -5 + 3h * -5) = -72

7h + (40 + -15h) = -72

Reorder the terms:

40 + 7h + -15h = -72

Combine like terms: 7h + -15h = -8h

40 + -8h = -72

Solving

40 + -8h = -72

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.

40 + -40 + -8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0

0 + -8h = -72 + -40

-8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: -72 + -40 = -112

-8h = -112

Divide each side by '-8'.

h = 14

Simplifying

h = 14

Answer:

\frac{53}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

\int\limits^4_3 {x^2-x} \, dx

= [ \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2} ] ← evaluate for upper limit - lower limit

= ( \frac{64}{3} - \frac{16}{2} ) - ( \frac{27}{3} - \frac{9}{2} )

= \frac{64}{3} - 8 - 9 + \frac{9}{2}

= \frac{155}{6} - 17

= \frac{53}{6}
