Answer:

Part 1: (n÷2)-7 = -12

Part 2: n = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1:

Let's first write "the quotient of a number and 2" using numbers and variables. Let "n" represent "a number". The key word that we see here is quotient, meaning we have to divide something by something else. "The quotient of a number and 2 means that "a number" is the dividend (number that is divided) and "2" is the divisor (number that divides the dividend). Therefore we obtain:

n÷2

The first part says "seven less than the quotient of a number and 2". The keyword here is less, meaning we have to use subtraction. Therefore:

(n÷2)-7

The last part says "is equal to -12". Therefore the whole expression we just wrote is equivalent to -12:

(n÷2)-7 = -12

Part 2

Remember the Order of Operations:

Parentheses

Exponents

M/D: Multiplication/Division (whichever comes first in the equation)

A/S: Addition/Subtraction (whichever comes first in the equation)

Start by adding 7 to both sides

(n÷2) = -5

Then, multiply both sides by 2

\frac{n}{2}=-5\\n=-10

Note: I used a fraction to display the division because it is easier to see why we have to multiply both sides by 2; to cancel out the denominator.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,-5) and(-4,-6)?pleasee I’ll give u BRAINLEST
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

y=-1/2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-6-(-5))/(-4-(-6))=(-6+5)/(-4+6)=-1/2

slope is -1/2

y-y1=m(x-x1) where m=slope

y-(-5)=-1/2(x-(-6))

y+5=-1/2(x+6)

y=-1/2x-6/2-5

y=-1/2x-3-5

y=-1/2x-8

Find the radius of a circle having area 616cm square.​
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Radius \ of \ circle = 14 \ cm}

Given:

Area of circle = 616 cm²

To Find:

Radius of circle

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf \implies Area \ of \ circle = \pi r^{2}  \\  \\  \sf \implies 616 =  \frac{22}{7}  \times  {r}^{2}  \\  \\  \sf \implies 616 \times  \frac{7}{22}  =  {r}^{2}  \\  \\  \sf \implies 28 \times  \cancel{22} \times  \frac{7} { \cancel{22}}  =  {r}^{2}  \\  \\  \sf \implies 28 \times 7 =  {r}^{2}  \\  \\  \sf \implies 196 =  {r}^{2}  \\  \\  \sf \implies  {r}^{2}  = 196 \\  \\  \sf \implies r =  \sqrt{196}  \\  \\  \sf \implies r =  \sqrt{ {14}^{2} }  \\  \\  \sf \implies r = 14 \: cm

The graph shows the relationship between a gift card balance and the number
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the graph is constant.=> the path of the dot/ the pattern is constant or not changing.

The balance was 18 when there were no visits.

It was 0 after 6 visits.

=>the amount spent on each visit is

Balance/number of visits= 18/6= $3

This can clearly be seen on the graph.

It may not work with a graph where the patter is not constant/ keeps on changing.
