Answer:  The correct option is (B) 16x+9=4x.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct equation that could be used to solve the following equation :

9x+26+7x-17=2x+(-3x)+5x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

To find the correct equation, we need to simplify the given equation (i).

From equation (i), we get

9x+26+7x-17=2x+(-3x)+5x\\\\\Rightarrow (9+7)x+(26-17)=2x-3x+5x\\\\\Rightarrow 16x+9=(2-3+5)x\\\\\Rightarrow 16x+9=4x.

Thus, the required equation is 16x+9=4x.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Question
alyssa wants to build a fence around her garden to keep deer and rabbits out. the length of the fence must be at least 50 ft, but she only has 140 ft for entire perimeter
Solution 1
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of the length and width:
P = 2(L + W)
Since we are given L >= 50 ft and P = 140 ft:
140 >= 2(50 + W)
70 >= 50 + W
20 >= W
Therefore, the width is less than or equal to 20 ft.

(The maximum area is 50 x 20 = 1000 ft^2.)
Question
HELP ME PLEASE I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM!!!!! Worth 20PT a ball is thrown with a slingshot at a velocity of 100 ft/sec at an angle 21 above the ground from a height of 5ft approximately how long does it take for the ball to hit the ground? acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft/s^2
Solution 1
It takes approximately 6.3 seconds to hit the ground.

We use the equation h(t)=-1/2gt²+v₀t+h₀ to set this up.  g is the acceleration due to gravity, v₀ is the initial velocity and h₀ is the initial height:
h(t) = -1/2(32)t² + 100t + 5
h(t) = -16t² + 100t + 5

We will use the quadratic formula to solve this:
t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
\\
\\=\frac{-100\pm\sqrt{100^2-4(-16)(5)}}{2(-16)}
\\
\\=\frac{-100\pm\sqrt{10000--320}}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-100\pm\sqrt{10320}}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-100\pm101.59}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{-100+101.59}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-100-101.59}{-32}
\\
\\=\frac{1.59}{-32}\text{ or }\frac{-201.59}{-32}
\\
\\=-0.05\text{ or }6.3

Since a negative amount of time makes no sense, the answer is 6.3.

Question
Which point is an x-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 8)(x + 9)? (0,8) (0,–8) (9,0) (–9,0)
Solution 1
The correct answer is:  [D]:  " (- 9, 0) " .
___________________________________________________________

Explanation:
___________________________________________________________

Given the quadratic function in  "factored form" ;  

             →  with "y" substituted for:  "f(x)" — as follows:
___________________________________________________________ 

  →   "  y = (x − 8)(x + 9) "  ;   

  
 Find the "x-intercept" of the equation ; 

                 →   {among the answer choices given}
___________________________________________________________

Note:  The "x-intercept(s)" of an equation refer(s) to the coordinates of the point(s) on the graph of the equation at which the graphed equation crosses the "x-axis".

In other words, the "x-intercept(s)" of an equation refer(s) to the solution of the equation at which: " x = 0 " .
___________________________________________________________
At this point, let us consider our given answer choices:
___________________________________________________________
Note:
____________________________________________________________
Consider the first 2 (two) given answer choices:
____________________________________________________________

Choice:  [A]:  " (0, 8) " ; 

Choice:  [B]:  " (0, -8) " .
____________________________________________________________
→  Both of these are INCORRECT ;

→  {since these 2 (two) answer choices have "non-zero" values as
"y-coordinates" .}.  

Note that by definition, all "x-intercepts" MUST have "y-coordinates" with a value of "0" {zero}.
                                       
→  Both of these are INCORRECT ; since these 2 (two) answer choices have "non-zero" values as "y-coordinates".  

→  Note that by definition, all "x-intercepts" MUST have "y-coordinates" with a value of "0" {zero}.  

Note that:  
___________________________________________________________
Choice:  [A]:  
" (0, -8)" ; has "- 8" — not: "0] as a: "y-coordinate" ;
  
and that :

Choice:  [B]:
 " (0, 8) " ; has " 8 "  [not: "0" ] — as a: "y-coordinate".
__________________________
__________________________________
This narrows our answer choices to the last 2 (two) remaining choices:
____________________________________________________________

Choice:  [C]:  " (9, 0) "  ;  AND: 
____________________________________________________________

Choice:  [D]:  " (- 9, 0) " .
____________________________________________________________

Note that both of them could be "x-intercepts" ; since both of them have
values of "0" {zero} as "y-coordinates" .
____________________________________________________________
 Let us examining EACH of the remaining 2 (two) answer choices.  It does not matter the order, but let us start with:  Choice:  [C]: (9, 0) " .

→  Consider the original equation:
____________________________________________________________
                      
→  " y = (x − 8)(x + 9) " 

→  Note the answer choice given for Choice:  [C]:  " (9, 0)" .

→  This means that when we plug in "9" for "x" , we should get "0" for "y" ; 

→  Let us plug in these values for "x" to see if "0" (for "y") holds true:
                   
                      →  0 =?  (9 − 8)(9 + 9) ?? ; 

                      
→  0 =? (1) ( 18) ?? ; 
 
                      →  0 ≠  18 ; 


        →    As such:  Choice:  [C]:  " (9, 0)— is INCORRECT.
____________________________________________________________

 At this time, we may assume that:  "Choice [D]:  " (-9, 0)" —  the only remaining answer choice is the correct answer.

→  However, we shall examine this "answer choice" appropriately; as follows:
____________________________________________________________

  Consider the original equation:
____________________________________________________________
   
                   →
  " y = (x − 8)(x + 9) " 

→  Note the answer choice for:  [C]:  " ( - 9, 0)" .

→  This means that when we plug in "-9" for "x" , we should get "0" for "y" ; 

→  Let us plug in these values for "x" ;  to see if "0" (for "y") ;  holds true:
                   
                      →  0 =?  (9 − 8)(- 9 + 9) ?? ; 

                      
→  0 =? (1) ( 0) ?? ; 
 
                      →  0 =?  0 ?? ; 

                      →  0  = 0  ! Yes!
___________________________________________________________
As such:  
__________________________________________________________
        →  The correct answer is:  Choice:  [D]:  " (-9, 0)" .

Question
The first-serve percentage of a tennis player in a match is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 4.3%. If a sample of 15 random matches of the player is taken, the mean first-serve percentage is found to be 26.4%. What is the margin of error of the sample mean? please provide explination
Solution 1
We shall use the z-table to solve for the margin of error. The formula for the margin of error is 
     E=z_{\alpha /2}\cdot \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}

The value of z will be taken with the assumption that the significance level is 5%. So, α=0.025. Then z_{\alpha \:/2}=1.96.

So, based from this, the margin of error is 
     E=z_{\alpha /2}\cdot \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n}}=1.96\cdot \frac{0.043}{\sqrt{15}}=0.02

The margin of error is about 2%.

Question
Lee's summer job was to sell newspapers. He sold 24 in the morning. In the afternoon, he sold 2/7 of the remaining newspapers. The number of newspapers left was 1/2 of the number he started with at the beginning. How many newspapers did lee start with? Thank you! I can't have any equations in the answer!
Solution 1
Given:
x = beginning number of newspapers
24 = sold in the morning
(x - 24) * 2/7 = sold in the afternoon
x * 1/2 = remaining newspapers

5/7 of the remaining newspaper is equal to 1/2 of the original number.

(x - 24) * 5/7 = 1/2 * x 
5x/7 - 120/7 = x/2
5x/7 * 2/2 - 120/7 * 2/2 = x/2 * 7/7
10x/14 - 240/14 = 7x/14
10x/14 - 7x/14 = 240/14
3x/14 = 240/14
14 * 3x/14 = 14 * 240/14
3x = 240
x = 240/3
x = 80

80 - 24 = 56 remaining newspaper in the morning
56 * 2/7 = 16 sold in the afternoon
80 - 24 - 16 = 80/2
40 = 40 remaining newspaper for the day.

Question
The area of triangle ABC is 24 square centimeters. If B = 30° and a = 6 cm, what is the measure of side c? 4 cm 8 cm 16 cm 32 cm
Solution 1

Answer:

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The area of triangle ABC is 24 square centimeters.

To Find: If B = 30° and a = 6 cm, what is the measure of side c?

Solution:

Formula : Area = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times c \times sin B

a = 6

Area = 24

B = 30°

Substitute the values in the formula

24 = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times c \times sin 30

24 = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times c \times \frac{1}{2}

24 =3 \times c \times \frac{1}{2}

\frac{24 \times 2}{3} =c

16=c

Hence the measure of side c is 16 cm

So, Option c is correct.
