Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 10 + 5x is 12 more than 8, what is the value of 3x? We can represent this with the equation below.

10+5x = 12+8.

Simplifying this gives us 10+5x = 20, then 5x = 10, then x = 2.

If x = 2, then 3x = 6.

Answer:

3x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

10 + 5x =8+12

10 +5x = 20

Subtract 10 from each side

10-10+5x=20-10

5x= 10

Divide by 5

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2

We want 3x

3(2) = 6

3x=6

A triangle has sides with lengths of 6 inches, 13 inches, and 17 inches. Is it a right triangle?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Nope

Step-by-step explanation:

To now if a triangle is a right angle, use Pythagoras Theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

C usually be the longest side of the triangle, C = 17

Then also let a and b be 6 and 13 respectively.

6^2 + 13^2 =205

C^2 = 205

C = sqrt(205) = 14.32

therefore no this is not a right angle triangle

There is a bag with 6 marbles. Three marbles are blue, 2 are red and 1 is green. What is the probability that you will randomly

Dominik [7]

Answer:

Mike is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is an "out of" statement. meaning out of all 6 marbles if 2 are red how what is the probability of choosing a red marble the answer is 2 out of 6 or 1/3 or 0.3333333etc. For green the probability is 1 out of 6 or 1/6 or 0.16666666etc

at a farm the ratio of cows to horses was 9:2 if there were 72 cows at the farm how many horses were there

dem82 [27]

72 divides by 9 is 8 so 2 times 8 is sixteen so that would be the answer

What is the value of the expression if m = –5 and n = 3? Negative StartFraction 24 Over 25 EndFraction Negative StartFraction 4

KatRina [158]

You can use the fact that a number raised to negative powers can be written as 1 divided by that number raised to positive number.

The value of the given expression when m = -5 and n= 3 is $-\dfrac{2}{5}$

<h3>How can we rewrite a number raised to negative power?</h3>

Suppose we've got $a^{-b}$ . then it can be rewritten as

$a^{-b} = \dfrac{1}{a^b}$

It is because $a^0 = 1$ for any a except 0, and that $\dfrac{a^0}{a^b} = a^{0-b} = a^{-b}$

If base are same and there is multiplication, then there will be addition in power.

Also, know the fact that if base are same and there is division, there will be subtraction in power(subtracting since that denominator when goes up, its power gets negated(gets negative sign to the existing power)

Thus,

$a^b \timesa ^c = a^{b+c}\\\\\dfrac{a^b}{a^c} = a^{b-c}$

<h3>Using above method to simplify the given expression before evaluating</h3>

The given expression is $\dfrac{2m^{-1}n^5}{3m^0n^4} = \dfrac{2n^5}{3m^0m^1n^4} = \dfrac{2n^5}{3mn^4} = \dfrac{2n^{5-4}}{3m} = \dfrac{2n^1}{3m} = \dfrac{2n}{3m}$

Putting m = -5 and n=3, we get:

$\dfrac{2\times 3}{3 \times -5} = -\dfrac{2}{5}$

Thus,

The value of the given expression when m = -5 and n= 3 is $-\dfrac{2}{5}$
