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.

Which rigid transformation(s) would map ΔJKL onto ΔPQR? a reflection only a rotation only a rotation and a reflection a translat
solniwko [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

A rigid transnformation is also know as isometrie. <u>This are transformations of the plane that preserves the lengths</u>. There are 3 types of isometries and each one can be combined with the others.

  • Reflection (First figure)
  • Translation (second figure)
  • Rotation (third figure)

Combining this transformations you will be able to transform ΔJKL onto ΔPQR

Given the function ƒ(x) = 3x + 5, find ƒ(4) and x such that ƒ(x) = 38.
MissTica

Answer: A.17;11

f(4)= 3(4) + 5

=12 + 5

=17

And, f(x)= 38

=>3x+5=38

=>3x= 38-5

=>3x=33

=>x = 33÷3

=>x = 11

So, A.17;11

the circle below has center T. suppose that m UV = 138 degrees and that UW is tangent to the circle at U. find the following
alisha [4.7K]

Angle UTV is basically given: it's 138°.

Moreover, since UTV is isosceles, the other two angles have the same measure x. We thus have

138+x+x=180 \iff 2x=42 \iff x=21

So, TUV is 21°, and VUW is complementary, so it must be 69° so that they sum up to 90°
