Answer:

B. x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(2x + 3) = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)

-8x -12 = 2x + 6 - 8x -2

(now, "-8" in both terms is cancelled):

-12 = 2x + 6 - 2

(leave 2x alone in second term):

-12 -6 +2 = 2x

-16 = 2x

-16/2 = x

-8 = x

A private plane is traveling due east at a rate of 160 mph. A south wind is blowing 30 mph. What is the actual velocity of the p

photoshop1234 [79]

The resultant velocity of the plane is the sum of the two velocity vectors which are perpendicular to each other. See the attached figure.

The magnitude of the resultant velocity is

$\sqrt{160^2+30^2}= \sqrt{26500}=162.79 \;mph$ .

The approximate value of the actual velocity of the plane is $163 \;mph$ . Correct choice is (D).

Mr. Walker invested $65,100 in two banks, one paying 4.5% and the other 6%. If he gets $231 more on the 6% investment than that

laiz [17]

0.06x=0.045(65100-x)+231
Solve for x
X=30100
Find the amount of interest in each account
0.06(30100)=1806 first account
0.045(65100-30100)=1575 sec account
Total interest=1,806+1,575=3,381
