Use the arithmetic operations to get the variable x on one side of the equation and everything else on the opposite side.

If something is being is being done to a variable, we undo that operation by using the inverse of that operation.

For example, if 10 is being added to x, we use the inverse of addition or subtraction.

18 - 7x = -20.5

We variable x is being multiplied by 7 and is subtracting 18. We need to undo all those operations.

18 - 7x = -20.5
-7x = -38.5

Now the variable is only being multiplied by -7. Reverse the operation.

-7x = -38.5
x = 5.5

So, x is equal to 5.5.

B - (- 7) =-1<br> what is b?
irina1246 [14]

B-(-7)= -1

First negative multiply by negative is POSITIVE.

So: B+7= -1

Subtract 7 from both sides

B= -7-1

B= -8.

Answer: -8.

To Check Answer: Plug in the variable of B in the original equation.

So: -8-(-7)= -1

-8+7= -1

-1= -1

If the Solution works out the answer is right.

A 165 inch pipe is cut into two pieces. One piece is four times the length of the other.Find the length of the shorter piece. Ho
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Length of longer length=132 inches

Length of shorter length=33 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine total length of pipe

Total length of pipe=165 inches

Step 2: Derive expression for all the lengths

We can express all these lengths as follows;

L=l1+l2

where;

L=total length

l1=length of longer piece

l2=length of shorter piece

but;

length of longer piece=4×length of shorter piece

replacing;

l1=4l2

replacing;

L=165

l1=4×l2

165=l 2+4 l2

5 l2=165

l2=165/5

l2=33 inches

l1=length of longer length=33×4=132 inches

l2=length of shorter length=33 inches

The circle below has center P, and its radius is 3 m. Given that m 2 QPR=170°, find the length of the minor arc OR.
QveST [7]

Any smooth curve connecting two points is called an arc. The length of the arc m∠QPR is 2.8334π m.

<h3>What is the Length of an Arc?</h3>

Any smooth curve connecting two points is called an arc. The arc length is the measurement of how long an arc is. The length of an arc is given by the formula,

\rm{ Length\ of\ an\ Arc = 2\times \pi \times(radius)\times\dfrac{\theta}{360} = 2\pi r \times \dfrac{\theta}{2\pi}

where

θ is the angle, that which arc creates at the centre of the circle in degree.

Given the radius of the circle is 3m, while the angle made by the arc at the centre of the circle is 170°. Therefore,

The length of an arc = 2πr×(θ/360°) = 2π × 3 ×(170/360°) = 2.8334π m

Hence, the length of the arc m∠QPR is 2.8334π m.
