What is the first step needed to solve 2/5x-6=-16?

Mathematics
1 answer:
const2013 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Add 6 to both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are trying to solve for x in this type of question. In this case, note that there is a equal sign, and that what you do to one side you do to the other. Also note that to isolate the x (your goal), you must do the opposite of PEMDAS. (Note that PEMDAS = Parenthesis, Exponent (& Roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

So your first step is to add 6 to both sides.

2/5x - 6 (+6) = -16 (+6)

Simplify. Solve:

2/5x + (-6 + 6) = -16 + 6

2/5x = -10

_________________________________________________________

Finish finding for x.

Multiply the recipricol of the fraction to both sides to isolate the x. Multiply 5/2 to both sides:

(5/2)(2/5)x = (-10)(5/2)

x = (-10)(5/2)

x = (-50)/2

x = -25

x = -25 is your answer.

Find the height of the pyramid. square base with edge 15 feet and volume 1,350
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a square based pyramid is calculated as

V = \frac{1}{3} Ah ( A is the area of the base and h is the height )

Here V = 1350, thus

\frac{1}{3} × 15²h = 1350 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

225h = 4050 ( divide both sides by 225 )

h = 18 ft → c

Need helpp fastt plss will give brainliest to who is correct plss helpp
Lynna [10]
The answer is 42cm. the area of the rectangle in the middle is 30cm. the area of the triangle on the left is 6cm because the formula is 1/2Bh. B=2 and h=6, so 12/2=6. there are 2 of the triangles however, so you add 30+12=42

Brianna received an overall IQ score of 117 on the Wechsler Scale. This means that Brianna has scored approximately____________
Tresset [83]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the correct option is:

  • D. 1; 100

In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

  • It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.

In this problem:

  • The mean on the Wechsler Scale is of 100, hence \mu = 100.
  • The standard deviation is of 17, hence \sigma = 17.
  • Brianna had an score of 117, hence X = 117

Then:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{117 - 100}{17}

Z = 1

Hence, the option d is correct.

The area of a square is 128x3y4 cm2. What is the length of one side of the square in simplest form
AlekseyPX

Answer:

We know that the area of the square of side length L is:

A = L*L = L^2

In this case, we know that the area is:

A = 128*x^3*y^4 cm^2

Then we have:

L^2 = 128*x^3*y^4 cm^2

If we apply the square root to both sides we get:

√(L^2) = √( 128*x^3*y^4 cm^2)

L = √(128)*(√x^3)*(√y^4) cm

Here we can replace:

(√x^3) = x^(3/2)

(√y^4)  = y^(4/2) = y^2

Replacing these two, we get:

L = √(128)*x^(3/2)*y^2 cm

This is the simplest form of L.

The measure of an angle is 89 times the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle
Olegator [25]

Answer:

2 and 178

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take an instance of a number 'x', according to the question we find that x+x*89=180(Because they are complementary)

We get, = 89x+x=180

=> 90x=180

=> x=180/90

=> x =2

So, we found that x=2 , hence the other angle is going to be 2*89=178

This is correct as 2+178=180(as they are supplementary to each other)

Hope this answer helps, Please mark me as brainliest, Thank you!
