One bag of soil is 5/8 pounds.
you have 16 of them.
just multiply 16 by 5/8.
you could just type it into your calculator, or you could do it the long way:
16 *  \frac{5}{8} \\ \frac{16*5}{8} \\  \frac{8*2*5}{8} \\ 2*5\\10

she has 10 pounds of potting soil.

Suppose triangle ABC is reflected over the x-axis. If the distance between point A and A’ is 14, what is the distance between th
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Given:

The triangle ABC is reflected over the x-axis.

The distance between point A and A’ is 14.

To find:

The distance between the x-axis and A’.

Solution:

If a figure is reflected across the x-axis then the corresponding parts are mirror image of each other about the x-axis.

It means the distance between A and x-axis is same as the distance between x-axis and A'.

The distance between point A and A’ is 14.

Let d be the distance between the x-axis and A’. Then,

d+d=14

2d=14

d=\dfrac{14}{2}

d=7

Therefore, the correct option is 1.

What is the value of x x-2/5 =7 what is the value of x
ahrayia [7]
Consider the puzzle:

"I have In mind a (secret) number. When I subtract 2/5 from this number I get 7. What is the number?"

To solve such puzzles we go backwards. We got 7 after we subtracted 2/5, so if we add 2/5 to 7, we get the secret number back.

Solving an equation is solving a puzzle about a secret number, which we call "x" instead of saying "something", all the time.

going backwards, means adding, if we subtracted, or dividing, if we multiplied.


So, to solve x- \frac{2}{5}=7, we just need to add 2/5 back to x:

x- \frac{2}{5}=7

x- \frac{2}{5}+\frac{2}{5}=7+\frac{2}{5}

x=7+\frac{2}{5}

to add 7 and 2/5, multiply 7 by 5/5

7+2/5=7.(5/5)+2/5=35/5+2/5=37/5



Thus x= 37/5

Solve for X geometry
Studentka2010 [4]

Answers

1. x=7

2. x=6

3. x=9

4. x=8

Explanations

1. This is an isosceles triangle because two angles are congruent. This also means the two sides are the same. This means  7 = x.

2. This is an equilateral triangle because all the angles are the same. Therefore, all sides are also the same. So x = 6.

3. This is also an equilateral triangle. We know this because all sides are the same. So from this we know that x-3 = 6. Solve the equation, and you'll find that x = 3.

4. This is also an isosceles triangle, because two of the angles are congruent. This means 2x-9 = 7. Solve this equation; x=8
