Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x + 3(x - 5) = 25

Distribute the 3 into the (x - 5).

-8x + 3x - 15 = 25

Combine like terms.

-5x - 15 = 25

Add 15 to both sides.

-5x = 40

Divide both sides by -5.

x = -8.

Proof:

-8x + 3(x - 5) = 25

Substitute variable.

-8(-8) + 3((-8) - 5) = 25

Subtract inside parenthesis.

-8(-8) + 3(-13) = 25

Multiply -8 and -8.

64 + 3(-13) = 25

Multiply 3 and -13.

64 + (-39) = 25

Add 64 and -39.

25 = 25

The length of the base of a triangle is twice it’s height. If the area of the triangle is 441 square kilometers, find the height
Sonja [21]

Answer:

21 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height be x. Then, the length of the base is 2x. The formula for the area is of the triangle is given by base*height/2. Therefore, the area of the triangle is equal to \frac{x \cdot 2x}{2} = x^2, which is in turn equal to 441. Since x must be positive, then 21^2=441, meaning that the height is 21 kilometers.

Marshall left home biking at a constant rate of 20 mph. One hour later, it looked like it may rain, so his friend, Brett, set ou
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

First, we need to find how far ahead Marshall was.  Since he had been biking at 20 mph for one hour, he had gone 20 miles.

Next, we need to find how long it will take Brett to catch up to Marshall.  In order to do this, we need to find how much faster Brett is going than Marshall.  We do this by subtracting Marshall's speed from Brett's speed.

60 - 20 = 40.  So, Brett is catching up to Marshall at 40 mph.  Now, we figure out how long it will take for someone going 40 miles per hour to go 20 miles.  We find this by dividing 40 miles per hour by 20.  This is equal to 1/2 hour.  So, it will take Brett 0.5 hours to catch up to Marshall.  This is the same as A, so A is the correct answer.

We can check our answer by seeing how far Marshall and Brett will have gone.  Marshall will have been biking for 1.5 hours, so we multiply 20 * 1.5 = 30.  Marshall went 30 miles.

Brett drove for .5 hours at 60 mph, so he went 30 miles.  Since Brett and Marshall went the same distance, our answer is correct.
