Answer:

x =(5/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $\frac{2}{3(x-2)} = -2$

Now to simplify it,

The first step is to cross multiply.

So, the expression becomes

$\frac{2}{(-2)} = 3(x-2)$

or, -1 = 3x - 6

⇒ 3x = -1 + 6

⇒ 3x = 5 , or x =(5/3)

briana house is at (1,6) and jordan house is(5,3) what is one possible path from brianna house to jordan house

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A (1,6)------> location Brianna's house on a map

B (5,3)------> location Jordan's house on a map

we know that

One possible path from Brianna's house to Jordan's house it's a straight line ( the shortest distance)

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

<em>Find the distance points AB</em>

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute the values

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(3-6)^{2}+(5-1)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{25}$

$d_A_B=5\ units$

The distance from Brianna's house to Jordan's house is 5 units

PLEASE HELPPPPP

Take Saturdays total of $620 and subtract Fridays total of $460 to get $160. Divide that by the difference of the number of pies sold on Friday and Saturday to get $8. Take the $8 and multiply by number of pies sold on Friday (20) to get $160. Take that number and subtract it from the total sold on Friday ($460) to get $300. Divide that by how many cakes were sold on Friday (30) and get $10.
So therefore:

Pies - $8 each
Cakes - $10 each
