Irina-Kira [14]3 years ago

Answer: The correr solution is x=\frac{17}{34}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the steps in Lin's solution are not shown, we are not able to find her erros. However, we can solve it step by step and find the correct result:

8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)

Firstly, in the left part of the equation we have to multiply 8 by the numbers inside the parenthesis; and in the right side we have to solve first what is inside the parenthesis:

8x-24+7=2x(-13)

Adding similar terms in the left side and multiplying 2x by the number inside the parenthesis in the right side:

8x-17=-26 x

Isolating x:

x=\frac{17}{34} This is the correct solution

lidiya [134]

Answer:

100+20π

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached.

Perimeter of a square =4L

L is the side length of a square

From the diagram;

L = 10

Perimeter of a square = 4(10) = 40

Perimeter of 3 squares = 3(40) = 120

2 semi circle = a circle

Perimeter of a circle= 2πr

radius of the Circle = length of a side of the square.

Area of the circle = 2π(10)= 20π

Perimeter of the shape = Perimeter of the two semicircle + area of the 4squares = 100+20π

1. What is the area of the trapezoid? The diagram is not drawn to scale. (1 point)
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezoid:

\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2) * h

The top base of the trapezoid is given as 7 cm. The bottom base of the trapezoid can be found with 7+5+5 = 17 cm. The height is given as 5 cm. Then, plug these values into the formula.

\frac{1}{2} (7+17) * 5

= \frac{1}{2} (24) *5

= 12*5

= 60

The coordinate −6 has a weight of 3, and the<br> coordinate 2 has a weight of 1
Damm [24]

The weight average of the coordinates is -4

<h3>How to determine the weight average?</h3>

The complete question is given as:

The coordinate -6 has a weight of 3 and the coordinate 2 has a weight of 1. And we need to calculate the weight average

The given parameters are:

  • Coordinate -6 has a weight of 3
  • Coordinate 2 has a weight of 1.

The weight average is then calculated as:

Weight average = Sum of (Weigh * Coordinate)/Sum of Weights

So, we have:

Weight average = (-6 * 3 + 2 * 1)/(3 +1)

Evaluate the products

Weight average = (-18 + 2)/(3 +1)

Evaluate the sum

Weight average = -16/4

Evaluate the quotient

Weight average = -4

Hence, the weight average of the coordinates is -4

SVEN [57.7K]
24 feet long :)
All I did was I divided the 36 into 3 equal parts of 12, then doubled the 12 to make that longer piece 24 feet. This 24 foot piece would be twice as long as the other leftover 12 foot piece since 12x2=24

Find the 9th term of the geometric sequence 5, -25, 125, ...
arlik [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 5

r = -5

n = 9

t_9 = a r^(n - 1)

t_9 = (-1)^n*5 (-5) ^ 8

t_9 = (-1)^9 *  5 *  (-5) ^8

t_9 = -1 ( 1953125)

t_9 = - 1953125
