2x + x - 18 = -30 - x
Monica [59]3 years ago

Lets say the number is x. The formula would be:
2x + x - 18 = x -30
To find x, you have to get rid of everything els, so minus x from both sides.
2x - 18 = -30
Since -30 is the smallest number, you get rid of that next. Add 30 to both sides
2x + 12 = 0
Now get rid of +12 by doing -12.
2x = -12
divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself
x = -6.

To double check your answer, do the reverse. Substitute -6 iinto the equation wherever it says x.

2x + x - 18 = x -30 becomes (2 x -6) + (-6 - 18) = -6 - 30.
Use BIDMAS (Brackets Indices Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction) to get your answer. Brackets are first
-12 + -24 = -6 - 30
-36 = -6 - 30 which is basically -36 = -36

I've been trying to get an answer for this all day and don't know where to begin what is the answer like I have no clue ​
Shtirlitz [24]

so, we have two 54x18 rectangles, so their perimeter is simply all those units added together, 54+54+54+54+18+18+18+18 = 288.

we know the circle's diameter is 1.5 times the width, well, the width is 18, so the diameter of the circle must be 1.5*18 = 27.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{circumference of a circle}}{C=d\pi }~~ \begin{cases} d=diameter\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ d=27 \end{cases}\implies C=27\pi \implies C=\stackrel{\pi =3.14}{84.78} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{perimeter of the rectangles}}{288}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{\textit{perimeter of the circle}}{84.78}~~~~=~~~~372.78

What is the number whose 4/5 is 144?​
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 144 by the reciprocal of \frac{4}{5}, that is

The reciprocal of \frac{4}{5} is \frac{1}{\frac{4}{5} } = \frac{5}{4}, then

\frac{5}{4} × 144 = \frac{5(144)}{4} = 180

Terry deposits $200 into a bank account that earns 3% simple interest per year. What is the total amount in the account after 2
MrRa [10]
Well first you have to solve for the 1st year so 200*.03, .03 represents the 3%. Which would equal 6 dollars so after the 1st year he would have 200+6=206.

Now you do the second year so do 206*.03, which would equal 6.18 so 206+6.18=212.18

Answer= 212.18

Which expression is equivalent to the area of square A, in square inches?
VladimirAG [237]
One side of Square A is the hypotenuse of the white triangle.  The square of this hypo. is 24^2+10^2 = 576 + 100 = 676.  Since the square of the hypo is the area of Square A, Square A has the area 676 sq. in.
