Answer:

\frac{x-7}{-2}=-10

Explanation:

A quotient of two numbers is a fraction with the first number being in the numerator (top) and the other number in the denominator (bottom). The statement calls for a "number" decreased by 7. That number is unknown but we have to give it a name, so, for example, "x." Therefore (x-7) is in the numerator. Negative 2, or -2 is "the other number" of the quotient and so it is in the denominator. Finally, the quotient is supposed to equal negative 10, or "=-10" which is the right-hand side, completing the equation.

For your interest, if you solve the equation, you will get x = 27, and you can check that the equation holds. "27 decreased by 7, divided by -2 equals -10."

Answer:

49,088

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find 5.6% of 52,000. Simply multiply 52,000 by 0.056 (change the percent to a decimal) then you get 2,912.

Second, you need to subtract 2,912 from 52,000 which is 49,088

Answer:

Perimeter is 17.07

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that DF = EF = 5 cm, since D and E are the midpoints of AC and AB, both of which are 10 cm in length.

We need to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the length of DE.

DE = \sqrt{5^{2} +5^{2}}=\sqrt{50}  = 7.07\\

So the perimeter of DEF is 5 + 5 + 7.07 = 17.07

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

15+50

Since 5 goes into both 15 and 50, we can factor out a 5. First, rewrite the numbers as:

5(3)+5(10)

Factor out the 5:

=5(3+10)

So, our answer is B

And we're done!
