Answer:

x= -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute on both sides

8x -8 = -2x -16

isolate x on one side

10x = -8

x = -8/10

you can simplify that fraction to get

x= -4/5

8 ( x - 1) = -2 ( x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2 ( x + 8)
Distribute ^
Distribute again
8x - 8 = -2 (x + 8)
8x - 8 = -2x -16
Add 8 to both sides of the equation
X = -4/5

the ball is 150g heavy and it is dropped from 300m, what is the velocity of the ball just before it touches the ground

boyakko [2]

Answer:

77.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Once the ball is dropped from the height, it converts all its potential energy into kinetic energy:

$P. E = K.E\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Using this equation, and the data we have to find the velocity of the ball:

$mass = 150 \ g \\gravity = 10 \ m/s^2\\height = 300 m$

$P.E = mgh\\150 \times 10 \times 300 = \frac{1}{2} \times 150 \times v^2\\\\150 \times 10 \times 300 = 75 \times v^2\\\\v^ 2 = \frac{150 \times 10 \times 300 }{75}\\\\v^2 = 6000\\\\v = \sqrt {6000}\\\\v = 77. 5 \ ms^{-1}$

Alja [10]

Answer:

The remaining balance on the card if Kira bought 40 prints is $13.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

X is representing the amount of prints that Kira has. Since she has 40 prints, let's plug that into the equation shown in the problem.

B = 15.00 - 0.05(40)

0.05 x 40 = 2

B = 15.00 - 2

B = 13

Jose and Kaitlyn have a contest to see who can throw a baseball the farthest. Kaitlyn wins, with a throw of 200 ft. If Jose thre

Anton [14]

All you have to do to find the answer is divide 200 by 4 to get 50. so now you know 1/4 of 200 is 50. but jose threw the ball 3/4 as far kaitlyn so you would have to multiply 50 by 3 to get 150 which is 3/4 of 200 . so 150 ft is the answer and how far jose threw the ball.
