Answer:

15.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

2.4÷(x+4)=1.4÷(x-4)

1.4(x+4)=2.4(x-4)

1.4x+5.6=2.4x-9.6

-x=-15.2

x=15.2

Hope this helps!

Solve this system of equations by using the elimination method -2x-2y=-6, 3x+4y=8
adoni [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2x-2y=-6

3x+4y=8

multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 2

- 6x-6y=18

6x+8y=16

Add

2y=34

y= 34÷2

y=17

substitute 17 for y in equation (2)

3x+4y=8

3x+4(17)=8

3x+68=8

3x=8-68

3x=-60

x=-60÷3

x=-20

x=-20,y=17

between 1995 and 2006, the population of samburg, usa(in thousands) can be modeled by f(x) = 0.35x(squared) - 2.1x+15.8 where x=
Juli2301 [7.4K]
\bf f(x)=0.35x^2-2.1x+15.8\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x=\textit{year since 1995}\\
f(x)=\textit{population amount}
\end{cases}

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.

the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :),   the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex

well   \bf \begin{array}{llll}
f(x)=&0.35x^2&-2.1x&+15.8\\
&\quad \uparrow &\quad \uparrow&\uparrow \\
&\quad  a&\quad  b &c
\end{array}
\\\\

19.99=1999

8.79=879

1999-879=1120

Divide by 100:
