Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x, then

the difference of x and 6 is x - 6 and

5 times the sum of x and 2 is 5(x + 2)

Equate both expressions

5(x + 2) = x - 6 ← distribute left side

5x + 10 = x - 6 ( subtract x from both sides )

4x + 10 = - 6 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4x = - 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = - 4 → A

Name one possible cross section of a sphere
Lisa [10]
A "cross section" is basically the two-dimensional face that you get when you cut a three-dimensional figure a certain way.  For example, imagine you're buttering your bread.  When you cut a pat of butter off, what shape is left on the butter?  A square!

So, imagine cutting a ball in half.  What shape is left?  A circle!

Answer: circle

Which is an equation of a direct proportion?<br><br> a.y=1/6x+6 b.y=6/x<br> c.y=6x-6 d.y=6x
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Option D. y=6x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

<em>Verify each case</em>

case a) y=(1/6)x+6

Is a linear equation, but is not a direct variation. The line not passes through the origin

case b)  y=6/x

The equation represent an inverse variation

case c) y=6x-6

Is a linear equation, but is not a direct variation. The line not passes through the origin

case d) y=6x

The equation represent a direct variation
