Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4

Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2

5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):

(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2

5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:

3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2

(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:

3 x - 4 = 5×-2

5 (-2) = -10:

3 x - 4 = -10

Add 4 to both sides:

3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10

4 - 4 = 0:

3 x = 4 - 10

4 - 10 = -6:

3 x = -6

Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-6)/3

The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:

Answer:  x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE IS HOW YOU COULD SOLVE IT !!

Different ways to solve equations. We have 4 ways of solving one-step equations: Adding, Substracting, multiplication and division. If we add the same number to both sides of an equation, both sides will remain equal.

WHICH THE ANSWER WOULD BE x= -2

it equals <span>(−<span>12</span>)</span> because <span><span>cos<span>(<span>60∘</span>)</span></span>=<span>12</span></span>

Explanation:

The reference angle for <span>240∘</span> is <span>60∘</span> (since <span><span>240∘</span>=<span>180∘</span>+<span>60∘</span></span>)

<span>60∘</span> is an angle of one of the standard triangles with 
<span><span>cos<span>(<span>60∘</span>)</span></span>=<span>12</span></span>

<span>240∘</span> is in the 3rd quadrant so (either by CAST or noting that the "x-side" of the associate triangle is negative)
<span><span>cos<span>(<span>240∘</span>)</span></span>=−<span>cos<span>(<span>60∘</span>)</span></span></span>

<span><span>cos<span>(<span>240∘</span>)</span></span>=−<span><span>12</span></span></span>

Just help, what are the answer, Its due in 15 minutes and yea, ill mark brainliest and dont give me a link saying the answer is
Naddik [55]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>6. </em></u></h2><h2><u><em>   a. 11 and 2/3 yds. squared</em></u></h2><h2 /><h2><u><em>   b. Yes, the volume of the shed is 11 and 1/3 yards squared and what she's trying to put into it is only 10 yards squared, if put in properly, it will be able to fit.</em></u></h2><h2 /><h2><u><em>7. 1,110 in. squared</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

6.

a.

(10/3)*(14/9)*(9/4)

= 11 2/3

b.

Yes, because the volume of the shed is about 11.67 yards long, the 10 yards of wood will fit in the shed.

7.

For this one, we have to break it into two pieces.

(I made them into a small box and and big box)

The measurements of the small box are 7*5*6.

The measurements of the big box are 20*5*9.

Using this information, we can make the following equation and solve it quickly.

(7*5*6) + (20*5*9)

(210) + (900)

1,110

Thus, the volume of this box is 1,110 in. ^2

The ordered pair (a, b) gives the location of point P on the coordinate plane. The value of b is negative. The value of a is not
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Quadrant III ( C )

Quadrant IV ( D )

Step-by-step explanation:

Ordered pair ( a, b )

gives a point P on the coordinate plane

( a, b ) = ( x, y )

given : b = negative ( y-axis )

           a ≠ 0 ( i.e. a = negative or positive ) ( x -axis )

Therefore point P is located in the : Third and fourth quadrants
