Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
23(9x-6) = 4x +10
207x - 138 = 4x +10
203x = 148
x = 148/203
or
3(9x-6) = 4x +10
27x -18 = 4x + 10
27x - 4x = 10 + 18
23x = 28
x= 28/23
Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.
35:28
10:8
Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.
Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c
In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:
Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
If you have a graphing calculator one way to know you are right is put the left side in Y1 and the right side in Y2 then hit 2nd trace and intersection then find the intersection and the X value is your answer. If you don't have a graphing calculator then I'm sorry
Answer:
h(t) = -5t + 500
Step-by-step explanation:
At time zero, the elevator is at 500 ft.
At time 5 seconds, the elevator is at 475 ft.
The difference in height is -25 ft.
The elevator traveled -25 ft (25 ft down) in 5 seconds, so it travels at a speed of 5 ft per second. Since it is traveling down, its speed is -5 ft/sec.
For each second of travel, it loses 5 ft of height.
h(t) = -5t + 500
