For problem 11(please see the pdf file), I did this:
0 = 54 - 10t
t=5.51
x = 54*5.51-XXX*9.8*5.512
x = 148.8
What did I do wrong?

x = 54*5.51-9.8*5.512
The value of X is 1,020.99.
The value of X was calculated by following the order of operations in the equation: first multiplying 54 by 5.51, then subtracting 9.8 multiplied by 5.51 squared.
The use of "squared" in the equation indicates that the number 5.51 is being multiplied by itself, resulting in 30.3601. This value is then used in the equation to calculate X.
Yes, the equation can be simplified to X = 300.45 - 302.2961, which further simplifies to X = -1.8561. However, for the sake of precision and accuracy, it is better to leave the equation in its original form.
This equation is relevant in science as it represents a mathematical calculation that may be used in various scientific fields, such as physics or engineering, to solve for a specific variable or value. It demonstrates the use of basic mathematical operations and the order in which they should be performed.
