Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−3)+2x+21=3(x+4)+2x

(5)(x)+(5)(−3)+2x+21=(3)(x)+(3)(4)+2x(Distribute)

5x+−15+2x+21=3x+12+2x

(5x+2x)+(−15+21)=(3x+2x)+(12)(Combine Like Terms)

7x+6=5x+12

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

7x+6−5x=5x+12−5x

2x+6=12

Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides.

2x+6−6=12−6

2x=6

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

Hope this helps!

An arrow is shot vertically upward from a platform 45 feet high at a rate of 168 ft/sec. Use the quadratic function

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

5.3 s

Step-by-step explanation:

a) since the height is defined by a function, we can find the turning point of the quadratic , which is where the ball will have the highest point. The turning point is where the gradient is equal to zero so we differentiate first

$h(t) = -16t^{2} + 168t + 45\\h'(t)= -32t+168\\0=-32t+168\\t=5.3s$
