Answer:
x = -7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual recommendation is to clear fractions first. Here, you can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6.
6(-1/2(3x -4) +3x) = 6(5/6)
-9x +12 +18x = 5 . . . . . . . . . simplify
9x = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = -7/9 . . . . . .divide by 9

Another way to do this is to eliminate parentheses first.
-3/2x +2 +3x = 5/6
3/2x = -7/6 . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 2
x = (-7/6)(2/3) = -7/9 . . . . multiply by 2/3
Answer:
B = 160°
Step-by-step explanation:
This is how I solved it (I hope the explanation isn't too confusing):
Since L and K are parallel, I drew a straight line from A to B. By doing this, I'm making a triangle: ΔABC
Then I solved for the angles of the triangle. First, we are given that ∠C = 80° and ∠A = 120°. Although, when I drew the vertical line from A to B, it made a 90° (see attachment).
So what we basically did was break ∠A into two parts: an angle inside ΔABC and one outside. To find the interior angle, simply subtract 90° from 120° to get 30°.
There are 180° in a triangle, so add the two interior angles you know:
30° + 80° = 110°
Then subtract 110° from 180° to find the final interior angle which is:
180° - 110° = 70°.
To find the measure of angle B, you must add all of the parts together, so the 90° outside angle and the 70° interior angle:
90° + 70° = 160°
Answer:
x = - 9, x = 0, x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x(x - 7)(x + 9) = 0 ← in standard form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x = 0 ⇒ x = 0
x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7
x + 9 = 0 ⇒ x = - 9

Answer:
$225.54 (hope it help)
Step-by-step explanation:
for 2nd week
$150 for the first week and a raise of 6% each week
which means 150+6%
6% of 150 is 9 (150x0.06)
150+9=159
and it repeats
for 3rd week
6% of 159 is 9.54 (159x0.06)
159+9.54=168.54
for 4th week
6% of 168.54 is 10.1124 (168.54x0.06)
168.54+10.1124=178.652
for 5th week
6% of 178.652 is 10.71912 (178.652x0.06)
178.652+10.71912=189.37112
an easier to do it is to just do 178.652 + 6% on your calculater
and I'll skip all the way to the 8th since you know the formula
212.777390432+6%=225.544033858
225.544033858≈225.54
