X=-8
Hope this helped
Tell me if you need an explanation
Answer:
x ≈ - 1.83
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve for x in the question 1.1x + 1.2x - 5.4 = -10
we have
2.3x - 5.4 = -10
collect the like terms
2.3x = -10 + 5.4
2.3x = -4.2
divide both sides by the coefficient of x
2.3x/2.3 = -4.2/2.3
x = -1.826
x ≈ - 1.83
The area of the room is 147.5 square feet so Michelle's reasoning was incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
To calculate the area of the given room, we divide the unknown shape into known shapes.
The room's shape is made of 2 rectangles.
The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its width.
One rectangle has a length of 10 feet and a width of 12 1/2 feet.
The other rectangle has a length of 15 - 10 = 5 feet and a width of 4 1/2 feet.
Step 2:
The area of the first rectangle = (10)(12 1/2) = (10)(12.5) = 125 square feet.
The area of the second rectangle (10)(4 1/2) = (5)(4.5) = 22.5 square feet.
The total area of the room = 125 + 22.5 = 147.5 square feet.
Um please continue the question, thanks!
Answer in fraction form = 9/8
Answer in decimal form = 1.125
note: the improper fraction 9/8 converts to the mixed number 1 & 1/8
To get this answer, we divide both sides by 8 to isolate n. The expression 8n really means "8 times n". We divide to undo the multiplication.
