The quotient of-54 and 9, subtracted from 8 times a number, is-18

1 answer:

4 0

The number is: " -3 " .
_____________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________
Let "x" be the "unknown number" for which we are to solve.

8x − (-54/9) = -18 ; Solve for "x" ;

→ 8x − (-6) = - 18 ;

→ 8x + 6 = - 18 ;

Subtract "6" from each side of the equation:

→ 8x + 6 − 6 = - 18 <span>− 6 ;

to get: 8x = -24 ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; & to solve for "x" ;

8x / 8 = -24 / 8 ;

to get: x = -3 .

Please please factor fully.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: My bad if I butchered any answers. It was hard to read tbh

Step-by-step explanation:

D.) You can only factor out an x here. So you'd get: $x(x^2-2x+4)$

E.) You can factor out a 3x^2y to get: $3x^2y(2-x)$

F.) You can factor out a 3xy to get: $3xy(y+3x-2)$

G.) You can factor out a -4ab to get: $-4ab(a-4b+2)$

The endpoints of (MP)are M(2,1) and P(12,6). If point K partitions (MP) in a ratio of MK:KP = 3:2, what are the coordinates of K

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

K(8, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

M(2, 1), P(12, 6)

MK:KP = 3:2

Required:

Coordinates of K

SOLUTION:

Coordinates of K can be determined using the formula below:

$x = \frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n}$

$y = \frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n}$

Where,

$M(2, 1) = (x_1, y_1)$

$P(12, 6) = (x_2, y_2)$

$m = 3, n = 2$

Plug in the necessary values to find the coordinates of K:

$x = \frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n}$

$x = \frac{3(12) + 2(2)}{3 + 2}$

$x = \frac{36 + 4}{5}$

$x = \frac{40}{5}$

$x = 8$

$y = \frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n}$

$y = \frac{3(6) + 2(1)}{3 + 2}$

$y = \frac{18 + 2}{5}$

$y = \frac{20}{5}$

$y = 4$

The coordinates of K = (8, 4)

What is the simplified form of the quantity of x plus 3, all over 4 + the quantity of x plus 2, all over 4 ? (2 points) the quan

pentagon [3]

ANSWER

$\frac{2x + 5}{4}$

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify

$\frac{x + 3}{4} + \frac{x + 2}{4}$

The fractions have the same denominator so we write one denominator and add the numerators to obtain,

$\frac{x + 3 + x + 2}{4}$

Regroup in the denominator to get,

$\frac{x + x + 3 + 2}{4}$

This simplifies to;

$\frac{2x + 5}{4}$
