Answer:

<em>x</em><em> </em>= -6

Explanation:

First we collect like terms

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-18</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em>

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-30</em><em> </em>

( because when both signs are the same we add them)

Then we decide both sides by five so that only x will remain

<em>5x</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-30</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>5</em>

<em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-6</em>

Thus, the value of <em>x</em><em> </em>is -6

Answer:

x = −6

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to start off by simplifying the equation! Then, I use inverse operations to narrow it down until I reach the answer!

5x + 12= −18

5x + 12 <u>− 12</u>= −18 <u>− 12 </u>

5x = −30

5x<u>/5</u> = -30<u>/5</u>

<u>x = -6</u>

My teacher makes us read the book to learn and the book doesnt show how to solve something like this
Gre4nikov [31]

If the mean score is 55% and the s.d. is 15%, then a test score of at least

55% + 1.5 × 15% = 77.5%

falls in the A range.

The next cutoff score is 0.5 s.d. from the mean, which is

55% + 0.5 × 15% = 62.5%

so any test score between 62.5% and 77.5% is in the B range.

The next cutoff is

55% - 0.5 × 15% = 47.5%

so a score between 47.5% and 62.5% gets a C.

The lower limit of the next range is

55% - 1.5 × 15% = 32.5%

so 32.5% - 47.5% gets a D.

Anything lower than 32.5% is an F.

Simplify (x^3)(x^-2)
Charra [1.4K]
Hey there!

When multiplying variables with the same degree, be sure to add the two degrees being multiplied.

For example;

x * x; both of these terms have the degree of "1" as they are "x^1". Since we are multiplying them, we need to add their degrees.
x^1 * x^1 = x^2

Now that we've broken down what we are doing, let's apply this new knowledge to your problem.

(x^3)(x^-2); Remember to just add the degrees; -2 + 3 = 1
This means our product is x^1, or just x.

I hope this helps!
