(18x + 36)/2 = -24

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other. Isolate the x.

First multiply 2 to both sides

(18x + 36)/2(2) = -24(2)

18x + 36 = -24(2)

18x + 36 = -48

Isolate the x. Subtract 36 from both sides

18x + 36 (-36) = - 48 (-36)

18x = -48 - 36

18x = - 84

Isolate the x, divide 18 from both sides

18x/18 = -84/18

x = -84/18

x = -4.67 (rounded)

-4.67 rounded should be your answer

hope this helps

Law Incorporation [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!!

Let me simply explain you about it.

We generally use the distance formula to get the points.

let the point R be (x,y)

As it an equilateral triangle it must have equal distance.

now,

let's find the distance of PQ,

we have, distance formulae is;

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

$or \: \sqrt{( {5 + 3)}^{2} + ( {2 - 2)}^{2} }$

By simplifying it we get,

$8$

Now,

again finding the distance between PR,

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

or,

$\sqrt{( {x + 3)}^{2} + ( {y - 2)}^{2} }$

By simplifying it we get,

$= \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 }$

now, finding the distance of QR,

$qr = \sqrt{( {x - 5)}^{2} + ( {y - 2)}^{2} }$

or, by simplification we get,

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 10x - 4y + 29 }$

now, equating PR and QR,

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13} = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 10x - 4y + 29 }$

we cancelled the root ,

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} -10x - 4y + 29$

or, cancelling all like terms, we get,

6x+13= -10x+29

16x=16

x=16/16

Therefore, x= 1.

now,

equating, PR and PQ,

$\sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 } = 8}$

cancel the roots,

${x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 = 8$

now,

(1)^2+ y^2+6×1-4y+13=8

or, 1+y^2+6-4y+13=8

y^2-4y+13+6+1=8

or, y(y-4)+20=8

or, y(y-4)= -12

either, or,

y= -12 y=8

Therefore, y= (8,-12)

by rounding off both values, we get,

x= 1

y=(8,-12)

So, i think it's (1,8) is your answer..

Hope it helps...

Orlando buys a shirt for $15 and a pair of jeans for $32.50. If the sales tax is 8%, what is the total price Orlando pays for th

scoray [572]

$15 + $32.50 + 8% = $51.30

15 + 32.50 = 47.50

8% × 47.50 = 3.80

47.50 + 3.80 = 51.30

just olya [345]

X * 0,8 = 259,2 <=>

x = 258,2/0,8 <=>

x = 322,75

The total budget was 322,75$
