Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - ( x - 7 ) = x + 7

x + 7 = 12

x = 12- 7 = 5

the number is 5

Answer-

The number is 5

Explanation-

let the number be x
according to the condition
2x-(x-7)= 12
2x-x+7=12
x+7=12

x+7-7=12-7
x=5
therefore the required number is 5

The length of the edge of a cube is ³√7 cm. Find the volume of a cube

slava [35]

Answer:

7 $cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

volume is length X width X height

since a cube has the same measurement for length, width, and height, the volume is found by multiplying $\sqrt[3]{7}$ X $\sqrt[3]{7}$ X $\sqrt[3]{7}$

the answer is 7

Find the measure of the missing value in the

kumpel [21]

Answer:

12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The two left sides have lengths, so this allows you to establish the ratio of the lengths of the sides of the triangles,

left triangle : right triangle

ratio = 25 : 17.5

The bottom sides are also in the same ratio.

ratio = 18 : w

Write a proportion by setting the ratios equal and solve for w.

25/17.5 = 18/w

Cross multiply.

25w = 17.5 * 18

25w = 315

w = 12.6

Please help with this Math Question...

Nataly [62]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x³ + 4x² + 7x + 6

possible rational roots are ±{1, 2, 3, 6}

Try x = -2

-2 | 1 4 7 6

| ↓ -2 -4 -6

1 2 3 0 ← remainder is 0 so x = -2 is a root ⇒ (x + 2) = 0

The factored polynomial x² + 2x + 3 = 0 is not factorable so use the quadratic formula to find the roots.

a=1, b=2, c=3

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{-(2)\pm\sqrt{(2)^2-4(1)(3)} }{2(1)}$

$x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-12} }{2}$

$x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{-8} }{2}$

$x=\dfrac{-2\pm2i\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$x = -1 \pm i\sqrt{2}$

$x = -1 + i\sqrt{2}$ $x = -1 - i\sqrt{2}$

$x - (-1 + i\sqrt{2})=0$ $x - (-1 - i\sqrt{2})=0$

The factors are:

$(x - 2)[x - (-1 + i\sqrt{2})][x - (-1 - i\sqrt{2})]$

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-6,2), (0,-6).

Serhud [2]

C. -4/3

$slope = \frac{(y _{2} - y _{1}) }{(x _{2} - x _{1} )} \\ = \frac{( - 6 - 2)}{(0 -( - 6)} \\ = \frac{ - 8}{ 6} \\ = - \frac{4}{3}$
