1 answer:

4 0

<span>-3(2n+1)+7=-5
Multiply the number outside of the parenthesis with the numbers inside the parenthesis
-6n-3+7= -5
Subtract 7 from both sides
-6n-3=-12
Add 3 to both sides
-6n=-9
Divide -6 on both sides
Final Answer: n=1.5</span>

In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is 113 and a leg is 112.

melomori [17]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: Use the formula: $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$

Remember $c^{2}$ should always be the hypotenuse or the longest side.

$112^{2}+b^{2}=113^{2}$ ---> evaluate the exponents

$12544+b^{2}=12769$ ----> subtract 12544 to the other side

$b^{2}=225$ ---> take the square root of both sides

$b=15$

Pentagon TEXAS has vertices at T(1, 8), E(3, 8), X(6, 2), A(3, 2), and S(1, 4). What is the area of Pentagon TEXAS?

Tamiku [17]

The area of the pentagon is 19 square units

The coordinates of the pentagon are given as:

$T = (1, 8)$

$E =(3, 8)$

$X =(6, 2)$

$A=(3, 2)$

$S = (1, 4)$

The area of the pentagon is then calculated using:

$Area = \frac 12|(x_1y_2+x_2y_3+x_3y_4+x_4y_5+x_5y_1) -(y_1x_2+y_2x_3+y_3x_4+y_4x_5+y_5x_1)|$

So, we have:

$Area = \frac 12|(1 \times 8 +3 \times 2+6\times2+3 \times 4 + 1 \times 8) -(8\times3+8\times6+2\times3+2\times1+4\times1)|$

Simplify the expressions in both brackets

$Area = \frac 12|46 -84|$

$Area = \frac 12|-38|$

Remove absolute bracket

$Area = \frac 12 \times 38$

$Area = 19$

Hence, the area of the pentagon is 19 square units

Leah cut a 7 inch ribbon into pieces that are 1/2 an inch long. How many pieces of ribbon did she cut?

photoshop1234 [79]

14 ribbons.

7 divided by 1/2 is 14. dividing by a fraction or decimal is just like multiplying without the decimal point or numerator.
