Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not A, that implies that there is no parenthesis needed. Same goes for D.

It is not B, (5x +2)-3

"Three less than" implies that 3 will be subtracted in the end of the equation.

B and C may get mixed up: C includes the phrase "the quantity" which implies the number (x) and two are added before being multiplied by 5.

g100num [7]

Answer:

x=0.5 and y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+7y=39...eqn(1)×-14

4x-14y=-68...eqn(2)×7

we now have,

-112x-98y=-546

-(28x-98y=-476)

-140x÷-140 =-70÷-140

x=0.5

to solve for y, we substitute (x=0.5) into eqn (1) or eqn 2 which ever you want...

so I'm using eqn 1.

8x+7y=39

8(0.5)+7y=39

7y=39-4

7y÷7=35÷7

y=5

therefore, x=0.5, y=5

proof: substitute both x and y values to get you the same answer as the original solutions in both equations.

we have,

8(0.5)+7(5)=39

4(0.5)-14(5)=-68

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the equation cannot be written with the given information. The distance from the catapult when the watermelon reached the maximum height is needed. Since the watermelon did not start on the ground, it cannot be assumed that the maximum was reached half the distance to the landing point.

The height of a triangular sail is 2 meters less
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area=1/2(bh)

b=x

height=2x-2, units meters

30=(1/2)bh

60=bh=x(2x-2)

2x^2-2x=60

2x^2-2x-60=0

x^2-x-30=0

(x-6)(x+5)=30

x=6 as only positive root.

2x-2=10

Their product is 60 m^2, half of which is 30 m^2

The base is 6 m; the height is 10 m.
