5:7 = A total ratio of 12
Ratio is now 12:84 which is a total ratio of 7
5*7=35 and 7*7=49, comes to a total of 84 students
Which means 35 students prefer coke
and 49 students prefer Pepsi

3(x-2)+2(x+1)=-14 plz show work

Hello!

First, let's write the problem.
$3\left(x-2\right)+2\left(x+1\right)=-14$
Apply the distributive property on the left side of the equation.
$=3x-6+2x+2$
Add like terms.
$=5x-4$
Let's plug that in into the original equation.
$5x-4=-14$
Add 4 to both sides.
$5x-4+4=-14+4$
$5x=-10$
Divide both sides by 5.
$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-10}{5}$

Our final answer would be,
$x=-2$

You can feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding this!
Thanks!

ABC is a right angled triangle right angled at B . A circle with centre O inscribed in the triangle . AB=6CM BC=8CM . Find the r

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Radius = 2 cm.

Step by step explanation:

By the Pythagoras theorem the third side of the triangle

= sqrt (6^2 + 8^2)cm = sqrt100 = 10cm.

The formula for the radius of the circle is

r = sqrt [ (s - a)(s-b)(s-c)/ s ] where a,b,c are side lengths and s = the semi perimeter.

Here s = ( 6+8+10) / 2 = 12

So the radius r

= sqrt [ (12-6)(12-8)(12-10)/ 12 ]

= sqrt 4

= 2 (answer).
