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

The viewing room at a planetarium is in the shape of a hemisphere. The diameter of the hemisphere is 48 feet. What is the volume
Elis [28]
A hemisphere is half a sphere.
So, the volume of a hemisphere is the half of the volume of the complete sphere.
The formula for the volume of a sphere is:
V = (4/3) π (radius)^3
Using π = 3.14 and radius = diameter / 2 = 50 feet / 2 = 25 feet.
You get:
V = (4/3) (3.14) (25 feet)^3 = 65,416.7 feet^3
Answer: 65,416.7 cu. ft.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

$103.6 left

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply the amount she earns an hour times how many hours she worked:

9.25 x 14 = 129.5

Then divide the total by 1/5:

129.5 / 5 = 25.9

Then subtract that value from the total:

129.5 - 25.9 = 103.6

$103.6 is your answer

Hope this helps!
