What is 5w + 8 - 12w = 16 - 15w

Mathematics
1 answer:

I suppose you are asking what "w" is:
your equation is
5w+8-12w=16-15w
combine like terms to get
-7w+8=16-15w
add 15w on both sides(since you're doing it to both sides the equation is still equal)
8w+8=16
subtract 8 from both sides
8w=8
divide both sides by 8 and you get:
w=1
if you want to check your answer, plug in the value of "w" into the original equation.

Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angle is 3.5 times the measure of the other angle. Find the measure of each an
vredina [299]

Answer:

40° and 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear pair of angles sum to 180°

let x be one angle then the other is 3.5x and summing gives

x + 3.5x = 180

4.5x = 180 ( divide both sides by 4.5 )

x = 40

one angle = 40° , the other is 3.5 × 40° = 140°

Cam has a collection of ceramic chickens. 10% of the chickens were given to him as gifts, and he bought the rest himself. If 11
otez555 [7]
Hello! To find out the amount of ceramic chickens he has in total, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

11/x = 10/100

This is because 11 was just the 10% given as gifts, and we are looking for the total amount. Cross multiply the values in order to get 1,100 = 10x. Divide each side by 10 to isolate the x. 1,100/10 is 110. Let's check. 110 * 10% (0.1) = 11. There. x = 110. Cam has 110 ceramic chickens total.

In an arithmetic progression, the sixth term is equal to 10.5; and the difference is 1.5. Find the first term and the sum of the
telo118 [61]

The first term will be 3 and the sum of the first 9 terms will be 81.

<h3>What is Arithmetic progression?</h3>

The difference between every two successive terms in a sequence is the same this is known as an arithmetic progression (AP).

The arithmetic progression has wider use in mathematics for example sum of natural numbers.

Natural number = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...

Given,

Six terms as 10.5

So,

a₆ = 10.5

Common difference(d) = 1.5

The nth term of an AP is given by

a_{n} = a + (n-1)d

So,

a₆ = a + (6-1)d

10.5 = a + 5(1.5)

a = 3

Now,

The Sum of n terms is given by

S = n/2[2a + (n-1)d]

S = 9/2[6 + 8(1.5)]

S = 81

Hence the first term will be 3 and the sum of 9 terms will be 81.
