Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to distribute: (-0.5 * -2x) and (-0.5 * 8) -8 = 8

1x - 4 - 8 = 8

Next collect like terms: 1x - 12 = 8

Isolate x to get the value of x: Add 12 to both sides

1x = 20

So x = 20

Answer:x=20

Step-by-step explanation: first you distribute the value outside of the parentheses

-0.5*2x= 1x

-0.5*8=-4

it then becomes

x-4-8=8

combine -4 and -8

x-12=8

add the 12 over

x=20

A line with a slope of -1 passes through the point (0,0). What is its equation in slope-intercept form? Please answer quickly.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

y = -x

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -1 and it passes through point (0,0)

Taking another point (x,y) on the line;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

For our case; slope = $\frac{y - 0}{x - 0} = -1$

Cross multiplying this gives;

y = -x

If a soccer team played 160 games and won 65% of them, how many games did they win?

Sindrei [870]

The correct answer is 104 games.

You get that number by dividing 160 with a 100, to find out how large 1% is, and then you multiply it with 65 to find out how much 65% is, and the answer is 104 games.

Find the coordinates of the three points on the graph of y = (1/2)x² -2x whose x-values are −2, 0, and 4.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

y = 6

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x² -2x$

When, x = -2

$y=\frac{1}{2}\times (-2)^2-2\times(-2)\\\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}4+4\\\Rightarrow y=2+4\\\Rightarrow y=6$

y = 6

When, x = 0

$y=\frac{1}{2}\times (0)^2-2\times(0)\\\Rightarrow y=0+0\\\Rightarrow y=0$

y = 0

When, x = 4

$y=\frac{1}{2}\times (4)^2-2\times(4)\\\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}16-8\\\Rightarrow y=8-8\\\Rightarrow y=0$

y = 0
