5.5 = -2 + d

The value of <em>d</em> is 7.5.

The key to solving equations is doing the inverse, or opposite, function/process.
For example, you subtract when d + 1 = 2:
d + 1 = 2
(d + 1) -1 = (2) - 1
d = 1

In the same way, you add values when you have a negative:
5.5 = -2 + d = d - 2
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) + 2 = (d - 2) + 2
7.5 = d

Now if instead of adding 2, you subtract 2, the problem becomes:
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) - 2 = (d - 2) - 2
3.5 = d - 4

This doesn't solve your problem, it just makes the value needed to be canceled out larger.

Thus d = 7.5 and you will add because the value is negative.

Since 2 is negative, you would want to add the 2 to each side. You want to cancel out the number so you leave d by itself, so it'll always be opposite of whatever the sign is.
5.5= -2 + d
+2  +2
7.5 = d
Hope this helped!

Answer: 24.2° SouthWest

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First step: DRAW A PICTURE of the vectors from head to tail <em>(see image)</em>

I created a perpendicular from the resultant vector to the vertex of the given vectors so I could use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the perpendicular. Then I used that value to find the angle of the plane.

<u>Perpendicular (x):</u>

 cos 35° = adjacent/hypotenuse

  cos 35° = x/160

→ x = 160 cos 35°

<u>Angle (θ):</u>

sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

sin θ = x/320

sin θ = 160 cos 35°/320

    θ = arcsin (160 cos 35°/320)

    θ = 24.2°

Direction is down (south) and left (west)

Here is a map of a town.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The real-life distance between the park and the theatre is of 12 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale of 1:400,000

Each means that each centimeter on the map has the real distance of 400,000 cm = 4 km

What is the real-life distance between the park and the theatre?

On the map, the distance between them is of 3 centimeters.

3*4 = 12

The real-life distance between the park and the theatre is of 12 km.

Leonardo da vinci took out A simple interest loan at 12.75% interest for 12 months. His previous balance is % 942.36. What is hi
makkiz [27]

Answer:

A = 2,384.1708

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1  + rt)

P = 942.36

r = 12.75%

t = 12 months

A = 942.36(1 + 12.75/100(12))

A = 942.36(2.53)

A = 2,384.1708
