X = original amount

x - 1/2x - 2 = 2/5x
1/2x - 2 = 2/5x
-2 = 2/5x - 1/2x
-2 = 4/10x - 5/10x
-2 = - 1/10x
-2 / (-1/10) = x
-2 * - 10/1 = x
20 = x <=== she was originally shipped 20 suits

Find the length of MN.<br> A) 7 <br> B) 25 <br> C) 32 <br> D) 39
MrRissso [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer C)

Explanation:

MN + NP = MP

MP = 39

Therefore, 4(x + 5) + 2x + 1= MP

So, 4(x + 5) + 2x + 1= 39

(4x + 20) + 2x +1 = 39

So, (4x + 2x) + (20 + 1) = 39

6x + 21 = 39

Addition changes to Subtraction

So, 6x = 39 - 21

6x = 18

Multiplication changes to Division

x= 18/6

x=3

Therefore MN = 4(x + 5)

So, 4(3 + 5) = 4(8)

4(8) = 32

Therefore, MN = 32

Hope this helps!

Which values of a and b make the following equation true? a = 11, b = 7 a = 11, b = 10 a = 28, b = 7 a = 28, b = 10
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>a = 11, b = 7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

( {5x}^{7}  {y}^{2} )( { - 4x}^{4}  {y}^{5} ) =  - 20 {x}^{a}  {y}^{b}

Multiply the terms on the left side of the equation

That's

- 20 {x}^{11}  {y}^{7}  =  - 20 {x}^{a}  {y}^{b}

Since the bases are the same we can equate the exponents

That's

{x}^{11}  =  {x}^{a}

a = 11

And

{y}^{7}  =  {y}^{b}

b = 11

Therefore

a = 11 and b = 7

Hope this helps you
