Astudent has two identical sheets of paper. he crumples one up into a small ball. if he drops the sheet of paper and the ball of paper off a building at the same time, which will reach the ground first and why?

Find a number such that if you add 8 and divide the result by 4 you will get the same answer as if you subtracted 3 from the original number and divided by 2

Use addition and subtraction to simplify the following polynomials. a. add polynomials: (3 – 4x + 8x^2) + (–6 + 2x – 5x^2) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial. b. subtract polynomials: (3x – 5 – 7x^2) – (–2 + 6x^2 – 5x) step 1: rewrite the polynomials without the parentheses. remember to multiply each term in the second parentheses by –1. show your work. step 2: write the polynomial in descending order and use parentheses around like terms. step 3: add the like terms identified in step 2 to simplify the polynomial.

Look at arnold's attempt to solve the equation for b: 3b = 12 b = 3 · 12 b = 36 describe the mistake that arnold made.
