Can someone please explain to me how to find the value of m? thanks-10 = -10 + 7m

2 answers:

8 0

      -10 = -10 + 7m

Add 10 to each side: 0 = 7m

Divide each side by 7 : 0 = m

Please take a second and just LOOK at the equation you started with.
It says:

-- You have this number '-10' .

-- Your number -10 is going to be exactly the same size
   after you add 7 of something to it.

The ONLY way that could happen is if the 'something' is 'nothing' .

   ' m ' must be nothing.

To find the value of m you need to change the equation so it is x=m. First, we do inverse operations. Since multiplication came first, we do it last. So, -10 becomes +10. You add 10 to both sides. You get 0=7m because -10 cancels itself out. Then you divide by 7 on both sides. You get 0=m. You get this because 0 divided by 7 is 0. To check your work insert 0 into m's place. -10= -10 + 7(0). You get -10=-10. Now you know that m does indeed equal 0.

Trava [24]

Answer:

The number of teachers who teach physics n(P) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the number of teachers who teach mathematics or physics

n(MUP) = 20

Given that the number of teachers who teach mathematics

n(M) = 12

Given that the number of teachers who teach both mathematics and physics

n(M∩P) = 4

Step(ii):-

By using n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

n(M∪P) = n(M) +n(P) - n(M∩P)

20 = 12 + n(P) - 4

20 -12 +4 = n(P)

n(P) = 12

Final answer:-

The number of teachers who teach physics n(P) = 12

A tree grows vertically on a hillside. The hill is at a 16° angle to the horizontal. The tree casts an 18-meter shadow up the hi

elixir [45]

The height of the tree is the sum of the part below the line parallel to the horizontal and the part above the line parallel to the horizontal.

Height of the part below the line parallel to the horizontal = 18 sin16° = 4.96 meters
Horizontal distance of the tip of the of the shadow from the tree = 18 cos16° = 17.30 meters
Height of the part above the line parallel to the horizontal = 17.3 tan68° = 42.83 meters

Height of the tree = 4.96 + 42.83 = 47.79 meters
