Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Say Jill picks the number x.

She multiplies it by 2 giving 2x.

It says add 5 to that product giving 2x+5.

She multiplies this sum by -3 giving -3(2x+5).

She then subtracts 7 from that product giving -3(2x+5)-7.

Her number after doing all of this is -40 so we hae -3(2x+5)-7=-40

To solve:

First: I would add 7 on both sides:  -3(2x+5)=-33

Second: I would divide boht sides by -3:  2x+5=11

Third: I would subtract 5 on both sides: 2x=6

Last: I would divide both sides by 2:  x=3

You multpily the length and the width to find the area of a shape. If the square is 3ft wide, then the square is also 3 ft long if the area is 9.

3 ft. I meant rectangle. Its still the same for the height.

∠QPS is a right angle and m∠QPR = 71°, what is m∠RPS?
natta225 [31]

Answer: <RPS = 161

Step-by-step explanation:

P is the common vertex in all of these angles. From this we know that these have to be adjacent angles (<QPR and <QPS) that equal the whole angle (<RPS)

<QPR+<QPS= <RPS

71+90= 161

(<QPS is a right angle. Right angles are equal to 90 degrees.)
