Answer:

They are -12 ft   or 12 ft below the surface of the water

Step-by-step explanation:

20 feet under the surface of the water

-20

ascends 8 feet

+8

-20+8 = -12

They are -12 ft   or 12 ft below the surface of the water

The average salary for a doctorate is 39,000 less than twice that of someone with a bachelor's degree. Combined, a people (one w
tester [92]

Answer:

doctorate salary:  d = $71,000

bachelor salary:     b = $55,000

Step-by-step explanation:

doctorate salary:  d

bachelor salary:     b

relationship between b and d:  d = 2b - $39,000

Unfortunately, your "1 + 126,000" could not be correct.  I'm going to assume that the total of the two salaries is $126,000.  If that's the case, then:

bachelor salary + (2 times bachelor salary less $39,000) = $126,000.  In symbols,

b + 2b - $39,000 = $126,000

Consolidating the 'b' terms results in 3b - $39,000 = $126,000, and so:

3b = $126,000 + $39,000 = $165,000

Dividing both sides by 3 yields the bachelor salary:  b = $55,000

Then the doctoral salary is 2b - $39,000 = 2($55,000) - $39,000, or $71,000.

Check:  Does b + (2b - $39,000) = $126,000?  Yes.

Then the doctoral salary is d = $103,000, and the bachelor salary $29,000

Solve for x:
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) = 6

Subtract 5 from both sides:
sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x) = 1

(sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x))^2 = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x) sqrt(3 x - 11) = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1:
-11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1

Subtract 4 x - 11 from both sides:
-2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 12 - 4 x

Raise both sides to the power of two:
4 x (3 x - 11) = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144

Subtract 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144 from both sides:
-4 x^2 + 52 x - 144 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
-4 (x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Divide both sides by -4:
(x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Split into two equations:
x - 9 = 0 or x - 4 = 0

Add 9 to both sides:
x = 9 or x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:
x = 9 or x = 4

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(4) + sqrt(3×4 - 11) = 4:
So this solution is incorrect

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(9) + sqrt(3×9 - 11) = 6:
So this solution is correct

The solution is:

Which triangle defined by three points on the coordinate plane is congruent with the triangle illustrated, and why?
HACTEHA [7]
The triangle defined by three points on the coordinate plane is congruent with the triangle illustrated:

C) (4,2); (8,2); (4,8) because the corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent. 

If we plot these points we can observe that they are congruent, we should also solve for the distance of each point between each other to conclude their congruency.

What is the sum of the difference?
Alona [7]

Answer:

A. 9x^4 and 3x^5y

Step-by-step explanation:

there are two ways to solve this:

first way:

You can solve this my substituting numbers for x and y in this case i used 2 for x and 3 for y and see which one is equal to the original equations

the second way is the regular way

when you add or subtract numbers with variables and exponents you want to add the constants and add the exponents in this case 5x^{4} +4x^2 is the same as (5x+4x)^(4+4) = 9x^4and you can do the same process for subtraction

12x^{5}y-9x^5 y\\(12x-9x)^(5+5)*y= 3x^5y
