How to do 2(x-5)-8=20

Mathematics

Answer:

<em>x = 19</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2 on the left side.

2(x - 5) - 8 = 20

2x - 10 - 8 = 20

Combine like terms on the left side.

2x - 18 = 20

Add 18 to both sides.

2x = 38

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 19

Answer:

Solution for 2(x-5)-8=20 equation:

Simplifying

2(x + -5) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

2(-5 + x) + -8 = 20

(-5 * 2 + x * 2) + -8 = 20

(-10 + 2x) + -8 = 20

Reorder the terms:

-10 + -8 + 2x = 20

Combine like terms: -10 + -8 = -18

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving

-18 + 2x = 20

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '18' to each side of the equation.

-18 + 18 + 2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0

0 + 2x = 20 + 18

2x = 20 + 18

Combine like terms: 20 + 18 = 38

2x = 38

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 19

Simplifying

x = 19

Wendy throws a dart at this square shaped target: Part A: is the probability of hitting the black circle inside the target close
KonstantinChe [14]

Since the area of the circle is only 3.14. that means 3.14 out of one hundred units can be hit. so you have a 3.14% chance of hitting the circle in the middle. SO the probability is very close to 0.

100 - 3.14 = 96.86, so we have a 97 percent chance (approximately) of landing in the white space, This is very close to one.

Given the domain (-2,2,4) what is the range for the relation 3x-y=3
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Given the domain, the range for 3x-y = 3 is {-9, 6, 9}

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to put the relation in terms of y ⇒ 3x - y = 3⇒ 3x -3 = y

⇒ y = 3x - 3.

Then you replace the values indicated by the domain to find their "y" values (the ones that constitute the range).

f(-2) = -9

f(2) = 6

f(4) = 9.

Finally, the range for the given domain is {-9, 6, 9}

A circular plate has circumference 21.4 inches. What is the area of this​ plate? Use 3.14 for pi.
Brut [27]

Answer:

The area of this plate is 36.31\ \text{inches}^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Circumference of a circular plate, C = 21.4 inches

The circumference of a circular shape is given by :

C=2\pi r

r is radius of circular shape

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{21.4}{2\times 3.14}\\\\r=3.4\ \text{inches}

Area of this plate is given by :

A=\pi r^2\\\\A=\pi (3.4)^2\\\\A=36.31\ \text{inches}^2

So, the area of this plate is 36.31\ \text{inches}^2.
