Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be a number

Rewrite the sentence into something that can be interpreted better:

A number subtracted from -5 is -2

Now you can translate the statement into an equation:

-5 - n = -2

Solve for n

-n = 3

n = -3

Cost A=0.6489<br><br> take the inverse cosine of both sides
Stolb23 [73]
I am not quite sure what the question asks for,
But this is what i assume it wants:

Cos A= 0.6489
In this given one, we basically find the size of the angle A
we do cosine inverse on both sides to get the size of the angle A
cos^{-1} : It looks like this in the calculator
cos^{-1} × cos A=cos^{-1}(0.6489)
(cos^{-1} and cos cancels out)
A=cos^{-1}(0.6489)
A=49.54°
check: 
cos 49.54=0.6489 (its right!)

Multiply 4x(-3x - 5)
Scilla [17]
Using the distributive property the product is -12x-20. To distribute you take the numbers and or variables outside of the paranthesis and multiply it by each one in the parenthesis  such that 4x is multiplied by -3x getting -12x and multiplying 4x by -5 and the product is -20x and all together the answer is -12x-20

A rectangular garden has a walkway around it. The area of the garden is 6(6.5x + 2.5). The combined area of the garden and the w
Rasek [7]

According to the information given in the exercise, the following expression represents the area of the rectangular garden:

6\mleft(6.5x+2.5\mright)

And the following expression represents the combined area of the walkway around the rectangular garden and the area of the garden:

6.5\mleft(8x+6\mright)

You can identify that the word "combined" indicates that that expression was obtained by adding both areas.

Knowing the above, you can set up the following equation:

6(6.5x+2.5)+A=6.5(8x+6)

Where "A" is the area of the walkway around the rectangular garden.

Solving for "A", you get the following expression:

\begin{gathered} A=6.5(8x+6)-6(6.5x+2.5) \\ A=52x+39-39x-15 \\ A=13x+24 \end{gathered}

The answer is:

13x+24
