Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

The result is eight less than the number means that

the result = number - 8

( x + 7 ) * 2 = x - 8

=> 2x + 14 = x - 8

=> x = -22

Answer: -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

If the sum of a number and seven is doubled, the result is four less than the number. The expression would be

2(x + 7) = x - 4

We would open the bracket on the left hand side of the equation by multiplying each term inside the bracket by 2. It becomes

2x + 14 = x - 4

Subtracting 14 and x from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

2x + 14 - 14 - x =x - x - 4 - 14

x = - 18

Two angles are supplementary. Which of the following equations can be used to find the value of the missing angle, x, if the oth
Natali [406]

Two angles are said to be supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees. So, if x and y are supplementary angles, the formula is

x + y = 180

We know that one of the angles (say x) is 98. So, the equation updates to

98 + y = 180

If we want to solve for the other angle, we can simply subtract 98 from both sides to get

y = 180-98 = 82

In the ΔABC, the altitude AN = 24 in, BN = 18 in, AC = 40 in. Find AB and BC.
bekas [8.4K]
AB = 30 in and BC = 50 in.

We use Pythagorean theorem to solve this.  Since AN is an altitude, this means that it is perpendicular to BC.  This means BN and AN are the legs of one right triangle, with AB being the hypotenuse:

18²+24² = AB²
324 + 576 = AB²
900 = AB²

Take the square root of both sides:
√900 = √AB²
30 = AB

NC and AN form the legs of the other right triangle, with AC being the hypotenuse:

24²+NC² = 40²
576 + NC² = 1600

Subtract 576 from both sides:
576 + NC² - 576 = 1600 - 576
NC² = 1024

Take the square root of both sides:
√NC² = √1024
NC = 32

BC = BN + NC = 18 + 32 = 50
