Question 392750: I was given the following equation to solve with the value of t = 5, v = 20 meters/second and k = 30 meters:
S = -5t^2 + v*t + k
Would you please help me? Using my variables, I came up with the following answer:
S=107
Thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
s=-5*5^2+20*5+30
s=-125+100+30
s=5
Take another look at your work.
