Answer: X = 4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for k in this equation, we want to get k by itself on the left side of the equation.

Since k is being multiplied by 5, to get k by itself, we need to divide by 5 on the left side of the equation. Since we divided by 5 on the left side, we must also divide by 5 on the right side.

On the left side, notice that the 5's cancel out, so we are simply left with z. On the right side, we have 20 divided by 5 which gives us 4.

Now we have X = 4.

Finally, remember to check your answer by substituting a 4 back into the original equation.

So we have 5 (4) = 20 which is a true statement.

This means that our answer, x = 4 is correct.

At a school carnival, the diameter of the mat of a trampoline is 12 feet and the diameter of its metal frame is 14 feet. What is

bulgar [2K]

Find the circumference of the metal frame?

C = pi * d

Where 'd' is the diameter.

In this case, the diameter is 14, because that is the given information from the question.

Plug it in along with 3.14 for pi:

C = 3.14 * 14

C = 43.96

So it's approximately 44

Dominik [7]

Answer:

5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many slices are yellow or blue.

There are 2 yellow slices and 3 blue slices, so 5 of them are either yellow or blue.

There is a total of 8 slices.

So, the probability that it will stop on a yellow or blue slice is 5/8.

If ab = 9 and a² + b² = 81, then (a+b)² = ?

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Through some clever algebra, we can combine our first two equations using the fact that

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

We have the a² and the b² in the equation $a^2+b^2=81$ , and we <em>almost </em>have a 2ab in the equation $ab=9$ . To get that 2ab, we can simply double both sides of the first equation to get $2ab=18$ . From there, we'll add the first two equations together, giving us the summed equation
