Answer: -5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(4x + -28) = 9x

Reorder the terms:

(-28 + 4x) = 9x

Remove parenthesis around (-28 + 4x)

-28 + 4x = 9x

Solving

-28 + 4x = 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 4x + -9x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 4x + -9x = -5x

-28 + -5x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

-28 + -5x = 0

Add '28' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 28 + -5x = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0

0 + -5x = 0 + 28

-5x = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28

-5x = 28

Divide each side by '-5'.

x = -5.6

Simplifying

x = -5.6

Alex drew a scale drawing of an auditorium. He used the scale 3 inches = 2 feet. If the stage is 30 inches in the drawing, how w

White raven [17]

Answer:

20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 3 inches is to 2 feet

As a ratio, it would be:

$\dfrac{3}{2}$

The question is what is the actual length of the stage if the drawing is 30 inches. All we need to do is find a ratio proportional to the scale ratio:

$\dfrac{3inches}{2feet} = \dfrac{30inches}{xfeet}$

Now to find the missing number, cross multiply the fractions first:

$\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{30}{x}$

$(3)(x)=(2)(30)$

$3x=60$

Then solve for x:

$3x=60$

$x=\dfrac{60}{3}$

$x=20$

The answer is 20 feet

A circular swimming pool has a radius of 28ft. There is a path all the way around the pool that's 4ft wide. A fence is going to

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Therefore 200.96 ft.of fencing are needed to go around the pool path.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a circular swimming pool has a radius of 28ft. There is a path all the way around the pool. The width of the path 4 ft.

The radius of the outside edge the pool path is

= Radius of the pool + The width of the path

= (28+4) ft

= 32 ft.

To find the length of fencing, we need to find the circumference of outside the pool path.

Here r= 32 ft

The circumference of outside edge of the pool path

= $2\pi r$

$=(2\times 3.14 \times 32) ft$

=200.96 ft.

Therefore 200.96 ft.of fencing are needed to go around the pool path.
