The difference of a number and 6 is the same as 5 times the sum of the number and 2. What is the number?

Mathematics

bulgar [2K]3 years ago

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

Quadrilateral CAMP below is a rhombus. The length of PQ is (x + 2) units, and the length of QA is
Phoenix [80]

Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.

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

As given by the statement in the problem,

Q may be the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.

In rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.

which means that PQ = QA

x+2 = 3x - 14

Grouping the terms, we will get,

3x -x = 14+ 2

2x = 16

dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,

x = 16/2 = 8

8+2 = 3(8) - 14 = 10 = PQ or QA

Zoe used 3/8 of her ribbon to wrap a present. If she uses 9 feet of ribbon for the present how much ribbon did Zoe have it first
MArishka [77]

Let the total ribbon Zoe had was x feet.

Out of x feet, she used 3/8 part of it.

Hence, \frac{3x}{8}

3/8 part of the original ribbon is equal to 9 feet.

Hence, we get

\frac{3x}{8} = 9

=> Multiply 8 on both sides.

3x=72

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{72}{3}

x=24 ft

Zoe had 24 feet of ribbon in starting... Answer

Does anyone know the answer to number 1, because I need to know ASAP
sdas [7]

The exterior angles of any convex polygon add to 360 degrees.  So for a regular pentagon, the exterior angle is 360/5 = 72 degrees. The interior angle is supplementary to the exterior angle so is 180 - 72 = 108 degrees.  So the sum of them is 5(108) = 540 degrees.

Answer: 540 degrees
