Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, we need to set up an equation to find the value of x and then the length of EF.

2. We know that DG is equal to 33, so we can add all the three sections it's cut into altogether to get 33. Therefore, we get an equation of: $3x - 28 + 3x - 30 + x = 33$

3. (Solving for x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

$3x - 28 + 3x - 30 + x = 33$
$(3x+3x+x) + (-28-30)=33$
$7x - 58 = 33$

Step 2: Add 58 to both sides.

$7x - 58 + 58 = 33 + 58$
$7x = 91$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.

$\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{91}{7}$
$x = 13$

4. Now that we know x is equal to 13, we can plug that value in for the expression 3x - 30.

$3(13)-30$
$39 - 30$
$9$

Therefore, the length of EF is 9.

A gymnast dismounts the uneven parallel bars. Her height, h, depends on the time, t, that she is in the air h = −162 + 24t + 16.

That is when h=0
so assuming yo meant
h(t)=-16t²+24t+16
solve for t such that h(t)=0
because when height=0, the gymnast hits the ground

so
0=-16t²+24t+16
using math (imma complete the square
0=-16(t²-3/2t)+16
0=-16(t²-3/2t+9/16-9/16)+16
0=-16((t-3/4)²-9/16)+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+9+16
0=-16(t-3/4)²+25
-25=-16(t-3/4)²
25/16=(t-3/4)²
sqrt both sides
+/-5/4=t-3/4
3/4+/-5/4=t
if we do plus (because minus would give us negative height)
8/4=t
2=t
it takes 2 seconds

A caterer needs to buy 21 pounds of pasta to cater a wedding. At a local store, 8 pounds of pasta cost $12. How much will the ca

Serggg [28]

Answer:

1. 8/$12=21/$x then cross multiply.

2. 1/$1.5, we're looking for cost so $1 is more reasonable

3. $31.5

Step-by-step explanation:

12x 21/ 8 = 31.5
