B = 2

Rearrange:
3b - 13 = -b - 5

Eliminate b from right side:
3b - 13 + b = -b - 5 + b

4b - 13 = -5

Eliminate 13 on the left:
4b - 13 + 13 = -5 + 13

4b = 8

Simplify:
8 / 4 = 2

b = 2

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).

Arada [10]

If $y=3x^2+30x+71$ , then
$y=3(x^2+10x)+71=3(x^2+2\cdot5x+25-25)+71$
$y=3((x+5)^2-25)+71=3(x+5)^2-75+71=3(x+5)^2-4$ . So, in the first gap you can write 5 and in the second you can write -4.
Since $(x+5)^2\ge 0$ , the minimum value of y is when $(x+5)^2=0$ . The solution of the last equation is x=-5 and then y=-4 -- these are numbers, which you can write in the third and fourth gaps.

A welder drops a piece of red-hot steel on the floor. The initial temperature of the steel is 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. The ambi

sergey [27]

Answer: After 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial temperature = 2500

At t = 0,

we get that

$f(t)=Ce^{-kt}+80\\\\2500=C+80\\\\2500-80=C\\\\2420=C$

After 2 minutes, the temperature of the steel is 1500 degrees.

so, it becomes,

$1500=2420e^{-2k}+80\\\\1500-80=2420e^{-2k}\\\\\dfrac{1420}{2420}=e^{-2k}\\\\0.587=e^{-2k}\\\\\ln 0.587=-2k\\\\-0.533=-2k\\\\k=\dfrac{0.533}{2}\\\\k=0.266$

So, We need to find the number of minutes when the temperature of steel would be 100 degrees.

So, it becomes,

$100=2420e^{-0.266t}+80\\\\100-80=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\20=2420e^{-0.266t}\\\\\dfrac{20}{2420}=e^{-0.266t}\\\\\ln \dfrac{20}{2420}=-0.266t\\\\-4.8=-0.266t\\\\t=\dfrac{4.8}{0.266}\\\\t=18.05$

Hence, after 18.05 minutes, the temperature of steel becomes 100 degrees.

Now let the figure show a scale drawing of a park. The scale is 1 unit : 25 meters. What is the horizontal distance across the p

insens350 [35]

The question is missing the figure. So, the figure is attached below.

Answer:

C. 350 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Scale is given as:

1 unit : 25 meters

This means that 1 unit on the grid is equivalent to 25 meters in actual.

Now, from the figure, the horizontal distance across the park is 14 units.

1 unit = 25 meter

Now, we can find the actual distance using unitary method and thus multiplying 25 and 14 to get the actual distance across the park horizontally.

∴ 14 units = $25\times 14=350$ meters.

Therefore, the horizontal distance across the park is 350 m in actual.

So, the correct option is option C.
