\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
159&212\\
129&x

solve for "x".

11(n – 1) + 35 = 3n<br><br> n = –6<br> n = –3<br> n = 3<br> n = 6
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

n =  -3

(second option listed)

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we will distribute the 11 (n-1)

11 (n - 1) + 35 = 3n

11n - 11 + 35 = 3n

Now, we will combine -11 and 35 (because they are like terms)

11n + 24 = 3n

Now, to isolate x as a positive, I will subtract 3n from both sides

11n + 24 = 3n

- 3n           - 3n

8n + 24 = 0

Now, I will subtract 24 from both sides to isolate n

8n + 24 = 0

      - 24    - 24

8n = -24

Now, we will divide both sides by 8 to find "n"

8n  = -24

÷8       ÷8

n = -3

This means that n is equal to -3

(n =  -3)

Answer:

(x - 5) (x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>To factor this trinomial, you must split the middle term (-12x) into two terms that can be added to get -12x, and multiplied to get 35:</u></em>

<em><u /></em>x^2 - 12x + 35

x^2 -7x - 5x + 35

<em><u>Group:</u></em>

(x^2 -7x) (-5x + 35)

<em><u>Take out the GCF (Greatest Common Factor):</u></em>

x(x - 7)  -5(x - 7)

(x - 5) (x - 7)

<h3>~Geometry</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

r³ = 125

r = 5 mm

...

V = 5³

V = 125 mm³

...

A = 6 . s²

A = 6 . 5²

A = 6 . 25

A = 150 mm²
