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

Find h(2/3) if h(x) = 6x <br><br> 2 4 6 8
arlik [135]
H(x) = 6x     

it gives you what x is so plug that in the equation to find it.

h(2/3) = 6(2/3)
h(2/3) = 6 × 2 ÷ 3
h(2/3) = 12 ÷ 3
h(2/3) = 4

so your answer is 4.

hope this helps, God bless!

The triangle has side lengths 10cm, 24cm, and 28cm, is it a right triangle? Explain please i dont understand
Nitella [24]

In every right triangle, if you add up the squares of the two
shorter sides, you get the square of the longest side. If you
don't then it's not a right triangle.

10² = 100
24² = 576

100 + 576 = 676

676 is the square of 26. 
It's NOT the square of 28.

So 10 - 24 - 28 is not a right triangle.

A 12.0-cm segment makes a 108.0-degree angle with a 16.0-cm segment. To the nearest tenth of a cm, find the third side of the tr
Dominik [7]

Begin by using the cosine rule to find the unknown side.

Where a- unknown side, b is 12, c is 16 and angle in between is 108° 

The cosine rule...

        a² = b² + c² - 2bc cosA

            = 12² + 16² - (2×12×16 cos108°)

            = 518.655076

Taking the positive square root...

         a = 22.774 

         a = 22.8 cm nearest tenth
