Answer:

  k = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses. That property tells you that the outside factor multiplies each term inside parentheses:

  -3(k -8) -(k +5) = 23

  -3k -3(-8) -k -(+5) = 23

  -3k +24 -k -5 = 23 . . . . simplify

  -4k +19 = 23 . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  -4k = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19 from both sides

  k = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by -4

_____

The rule for manipulating equations is, "any operation performed on one side of the equation must also be performed on the other side." Operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, application of a function. Using the distributive property and collecting terms are ways to simplify equations that don't affect the truth of the equal sign (if those are done correctly).

In general, you make use of inverse operations to undo the operations you don't want. The goal is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equal sign.

Answer:

k = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(k-8)-(k+5)=23

Distribute

-3k +24 -k-5 = 23

Combine like terms

-4k +19 = 23

Subtract 19 from each side

-4k +19-19 = 23-19

-4k = 4

Divide by -4

-4k/-4 = 4/-4

k = -1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezium is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) with one pair of parallel sides. A trapezium is said to be isosceles if the bases are parallel, the two other sides known as the legs are equal and diagonals of the trapezium are equal to each other.

In trapezoid ABCD, BC and AD are the diagonals.

Hence BC = AD (property of isosceles trapezoid)

9x + 1 = 12x - 11

Simplifying:

12x - 9x = 1 + 11

3x = 12

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 4

1) Order the animals by sleep time from least to greatest.
Zolol [24]
The way to line the animals is to put them in order going down. 0.433 56.3% 19/40 65.8%. Then you try to figure out what you need to convert so that you can get your answer. 56.3% changes to 0.563 because you move the decimal two places to the left. 65.8% changes to 0.658 and 19/40 is 0.475. 0.433 0.563 0.475 0.658. Now you compare each row to figure them out. When you do that your answer will be 0.433, 0.475, 0.563, and 0.658. I sleep about 9/24 of the day which is 0.375 and I will fit right befor 0.433.

One number is 6 more than another. Twice the larger number is 5 times the smaller.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The smaller number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number = x

Smaller number = y

Write 2 equations

y + 6 = x

2x = 5y

Substitute x in the first equation to the second equation

2(y + 6) = 5y

Multiply 2(y + 6)

2y + 12 = 5y

Subtract 2y from both sides of the equation

12 = 3y

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

y = 4

x = y + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

The smaller number is 4

Hope this helps :)
