Answer:

6x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following expression:
4x + 8 + 2x - 7

And we want to simplify

When we simplify, we want to combine like terms. This means that we want to add terms with the same variables together (like x), and then combine them

If there is no variable, then we add and combine the terms that don't have any variable together as well

Please note that we cannot combine terms with different variables (so if you had x+y, then it would stay as x+y).

In this case, we have 4x + 8 + 2x - 7

4x and 2x are like terms; they have the same variable (x). If we add them together, the result is 6x

8 and -7 are also like terms; they both don't have a variable. If we add (or rather, subtract) these terms, the result is 1.

Now we add 6x and 1 together, which would be 6x+1 (1 doesn't have a variable after it, so we can't combine it with 6x).

6x+1 is our answer.

Hope this helps!

Consider a refrigerator that consumes 320 W of elec- tric power when it is running. If the refrigerator runs only one quarter of

irinina [24]

Answer: The refrigerator cost in this month is $4.5 approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of watt of electric power = 320 W

Number of days = 30

Unit cost of electricity = $0.13/Kwh

Hold factor = $\dfrac{1}{4}$

Number of hours in a month = 24

So, the refrigerator cost in this month would be

$0.13\times 0.32\times \dfrac{1}{4}\times 30\times 24\\\\=\$7.488$

Hence, the refrigerator cost in this month is $4.5 approximately.

Applications 24. A rocket is launched into the air. Its height in feet, after x seconds, is given by the equation The starting h

SVEN [57.7K]

The given function is

$h(x)=-16x^2+300x+20$

According to this function, the starting height of the rocket is 20 feet because that's the initial condition of the problem stated by the independent term.

Additionally, we find the maximum height by calculating the vertex of the function V(h,k).

$h=-\frac{b}{2a}$

Where a = -16 and b = 300.

$\begin{gathered} h=-\frac{300}{2(-16)}=\frac{300}{32}=\frac{150}{16}=\frac{75}{8} \\ h=9.375 \end{gathered}$

Then, we find k by evaluating the function

$\begin{gathered} k=-16(9.375)^2+300(9.375)+20 \\ k=-1406.25+2812.5+20=1426.25 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the maximum height is 1426.25 feet.

At last, to know the time need to hit the ground, we just use h=9.375 and we multiply it by 2

$t=2\cdot9.375=18.75$

Hence, the rocket hits the ground after 18.75 seconds.
