Misha solves the equation 3 x minus 2 (x + 3) = 4 (x minus 2) minus 7 by applying the distributive property to each side of the equation. The result is 3 x minus 2 x minus 6 = 4 x minus 8 minus 7. Misha then wants to combine like terms. Which are the terms Misha should combine? 3x – 2x and –8 – 7
3x – 2x and 8 – 7
3x – 2x + 4x and –6 – 8 – 7
3x – 2x – 6 and 4x – 8 – 7

Apair of ordinary dice is rolled. what is the probability that each die will show a number higher than 4. 1. (1/36) 2. (1/12) 3. (1/6) 4. (1/4) 5. (1/3)

What can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving? x – + 2x = + x 2 6 10 12

Aspacecraft can attain a stable orbit 300 kilometers above earth if it reaches a velocity of 7.7 kilometers per second. the formula for a rocket's maximum velocity v in kilometers per second is vequalsminus0.0098tplusc ln upper r, where t is the firing time in seconds, c is the velocity of the exhaust in kilometers per second, and r is the ratio of the mass of the rocket filled with fuel to the mass of the rocket without fuel. find the velocity of a spacecraft whose booster rocket has a mass ratio of 20, an exhaust velocity of 2.1 km/s, and a firing time of 15 s. can the spacecraft achieve a stable orbit 300 km above earth?
