3x - 5 = -26

step 1:

subtract +5 on each side because you have to do the inverse operation

step 2:

3x= -21

step 3:

now divide 3 on each side

the answer is -7

Answer:

x=-7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi student! Let me help you out.

_________________

First, add 5 to both sides.

$\sf 3x=-26+5$ . Upon simplifying, we obtain this.

$\sf 3x=-21$ .

↪

Now divide both sides, by 3.

$\sf x=-7$

$\therefore,\sf the \quad value \quad of \quad x \quad is \quad -7$ . Which is our final answer.

you are considering 2 jobs. one job pays $250 per week, plus 4.5% commission on all sales. The second job pays $1,800 per month

Hoochie [10]

The correct answer is A. Not only does $250 a week equal $1000 a month but the commission is also higher.

first job: $250wk = $1000 Month + .045 commission
= $12000 year + .045 commission
second job = $1800 Month + .03 commission
= $21600 year + .03 commission
commission based on sales of $1,000,000

1,000,000 times .045 = $45000
1,000,000 times .030 = $30000

FIRST JOB: $12,000 + $45,000 = $57,000
SECOND JOB: $21,600 + $30,000 = $51,600

The answer is definitely A.

What is the area of this figure? Round to the tenth if necessary.

Julli [10]

Answer:

<h3>b) 850.1 centimeters.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of this figure, we must first find the areas of the shapes that compose this figure.

This figure is made up of a rectangle and a semicircle.

Remember: To find the area of a semicircle, multiply the radius by itself twice, then multiply the product pi, lastly divide the product by 2.

$a=\pi r^2/2$

3.14 will be used for pi!

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. The product is the area of the rectangle.

$a=lw$

Now, let's solve.

The diameter of the semicircle is 32 centimeters.

To find the radius of a semicircle, divide the diameter by 2.

$32/2=16$

The radius of the semicircle is 16 centimeters.

Now that we have the radius, we can find the area of the semicircle.

$\pi 16^2/2=401.92$

The area of the semicircle is 401.92 centimeters.

Furthermore, we find the area of the rectangle.

$14*32=448.$

The area of the circle is 448 centimeters.

Next, we add the areas of both shapes to find the area of this figure.

$401.92+448$

$=849.92$

The final step is to round 849.92 to the nearest tenth.

Even though 849.92 to rounded to the nearest tenth is 849.9, there is no answer choice for this. The closest one to this answer is choice 'b.'

I, therefore, believe the area of this figure is 850.1 centimeters.

A sports teacher had 1025 sweets. After distributing these equally amongst all the participants in a sports meet, he had just 1

Cerrena [4.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it remains only 1 sweet, we can subtract it from the total and get the amount of sweets distributed (=1024).

As all the sweets are distributed equally, we must divide the number of distributed sweets by all its dividers (excluding 1024 and 1, we'll see later why):

1) 512 => 2 partecipants

2) 256 => 4 partecipants

3) 128 => 8 partecipants

4) 64 => 16 partecipants

5) 32 => 32 partecipants

6) 16 => 64 partecipants

7) 8 => 128 partecipants

9) 4 => 256 partecipants

10) 2 => 512 partecipants

The number on the left represents the number of sweets given to the partecipants, and on the right we have the number of the partecipants. Note that all the numbers on the left are dividers of 1024.

Why excluding 1 and 1024? Because the problem tells us that there remains 1 sweet. If there was 1 sweet for every partecipant, the number of partecipants would be 1025, but that's not possible as there remains 1 sweet. If it was 1024, it wouldn't work as well because the sweets are 1025 and if 1 is not distributed it goes again against the problem that says all sweets are equally distributed.
