2x + x - 18 = -30 - x

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

Virty [35]

Total height of the cake and the candles is 17.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Convert the mixed fractions into decimal expressions.

11 7/10 cm = 117/10 = 11.7 cm

5 4/10 cm = 54/10 = 5.4 cm

  • Step 2: Find total height of the cake and the candles

Total height = 11.7 + 5.4 = 17.1 cm

What is the center of the data?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Median = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for dot plot

Required

The center of data

This implies that, we calculate the median

From the attached plot,

n = 13 --- number of observation

So, the median is:

Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}

Median = \frac{13 + 1}{2}

Median = \frac{14}{2}

Median = 7th

The median is at the 7th position

At the  7th position, is 13

Hence:

Median = 13

Please help in the question it should be if t=-6 when r =-2 its an error
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

r = - \frac{12}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that r varies inversely as t , then the equation relating them is

r = \frac{k}{t} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition t = - 6 when r = - 2, then

- 2 = \frac{k}{-6} ( multiply both sides by - 6 )

12 = k, thus

r = \frac{12}{t} ← equation of variation

when t = - 7, then

r = \frac{12}{-7} = - \frac{12}{7}
