Solve for x. −18 = −2/3 x

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the -18.

Through cross-multiplication, -18/1 x -3/2 simplifies into -9/1 x -3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into -18 -9 times).

-9 x -3 = 27; therefore, x = 27

Answer:

X= 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Muliply by the reciprocal to get rid of the fraction on the right.

(-3/2)-18=(-2/3)(-3/2)x

Simplify by multiplying the fractions. The left makes 54/2 and the right makes x because the reciprocals cancel each other out.

54/2=x

Simplify your fraction by dividing 54 by 2

27=x

Given:

AB=6\ BC=r,\ CD=r,\ AD=12.

To find:

The value of r.

Solution:

We have,

AB=6\ BC=r,\ CD=r,\ AD=12.

We know that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of tangency

AD is the tangent and CD is the radius. So, CD is perpendicular to AD at point D, i.e., m\angle D=90^\circ.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

AC^2=AD^2+CD^2

(6+r)^2=12^2+r^2

36+12r+r^2=144+r^2

12r=144+r^2-36-r^2

On further simplification, we get

12r=108

r=\dfrac{108}{12}

r=9

Therefore, the value of r is 9.

What is X ? <br> 9(x−1)−8x=−3(x+5).
musickatia [10]

Answer:

x = - 3 / 2 ( in decimal form = - 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

9(x - 1) - 8x = -3(x + 5)

left side: 9(x - 1) - 8x

Expand... 9x - 9 - 8x

             = (9x - 8x) - 9

             = 1x - 9 or <em>x - 9</em>

right side: -3(x + 5)

Expand... <em>-3x - 15</em>

         

combine :

x - 9 = -3x - 15

Add 9 to both sides to get x alone

x - 9 + 9 = -3x - 15 + 9

x = -3x - 15 + 9

x = -3x - 6

Add 3x to both sides

x + 3x  = -3x - 6 + 3x

simplified, 4x = -6

Now divided 4 from both sides

4x / 4 = -6 / 4

simplify, x = -6 / 4

You can reduce the fraction by dividing it by 2

(-6 / 2) / (4 / 2) = -3 / 2

Hope this helps, Let me know if you have any questions !

Have a nice day :)
