Mathematics

Answer: 4


Explanation:


You can write an algebraic expression to represent the sequence with the books in this way:

  • yesterday she got five books: 5
  • today returned three books: - 3
  • how many books did Gia have to begin: n
  • At the end she has six books, which means that you can set an equality:

       n + 5 - 3 = 6

Now you follow these steps to clear the unknown:

  • do the operations in the left side: n + 2 = 6
  • use subtraction property of equality: n = 6 - 2
  • do the operations: n = 4

And that is the number of books whith which Gina started: 4

Solve the equation: -4(m + 6) = -8
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

- 4(m + 6) = - 8

Savanna is playing a game with her friends. She tells them to each pick a number, and then she directs them to: 1. Multiply thei
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

x  = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x  b number, according to instructions´ we must

1.-Multiply  by  4

2.-Subtract  6

3.-Divide by 2

4.-Arturo says his new number  - 15

4,.Which one was the original number   ??

The maths expression for that  is :

(4*x - 6 ) / 2  =  -  15

we solve for x

4x  -  6  = - 30

4x   =  - 24

x  = - 6

Which equation represents the line that passes through (5,8) and (9,2)
Dahasolnce [82]
ASSUMING This is a straight line so we gotta the formula for a straight line which is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.

First, we know this line passes through (5,8) and (9,2) we can use these for finding the equations. When we know two points, we use this formula:

y-y=m(x-x)

The first y is 8 and the second one is 2
The first x is 5 and the second one is 9

Plug it in:

8-2=m(5-9)
6=m(-4)
6/-4=m <— simplify this
m= -3/2

*NOTE: another way to find m is by calculating it (y-y)/(x-x)

Now we know m, we have to find b.
All you gotta do is plug everything you know back into the equation y=mx+b

y=mx+b
y=-3/2x+b <— now plug in a point we know(x,y)

8=-3/2(5)+b
8=-15/2+b
8-(-15/2)=b
b=8+15/2
b=16/2+15/2
b=31/2 (now you can write be as a fraction or a decimal in your equation, depending on what your teacher told you to use)
*NOTE: it is best to use fractions instead of decimals as it is more accurate sometimes.

Now we know all the variables that need to be known, we just need to rewrite the formula of the equation so the teacher can see.

m=-3/2
b=31/2

We don’t need to plug in x or y since it could have different values (since a straight line has MANY co-ordinates)

SO OUR EQUATION IS=
y=(-3/2)x+31/2

Hope you understand this, feel free to ask me anything!

Geometry Special Quadrilaterals show work please
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a = 16

w = 125

x = 120

y = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>FINDING 'a'</u>

31 = a + 46 / 2

62 = a + 46

16 = a

<u>FINDING 'w'</u>

* This section looks Non-Isosceles trapezoid so I will be following the rule according it

w + 55 = 180

w = 125

<u>FINDING 'y'</u>

y = 55

- Because of corresponding angles

<u>FINDING 'x'</u>

* In this case it looks like we are still dealing w/ an non-isosceles trapezoid.

x + 60 = 180

x = 120

Hope this helped ^^

(Please inform me of any mistakes or misunderstandings!)
