10 total pieces of the pie
-5
-2
And only 3 remained so your answer would be
3/10
Answer:
20. 
22. 
24. 
Step-by-step explanation:
20. 
The GCF is x, so you group it out of the equation first.

Then, you find 2 numbers that will equal to 2 when you add them and will equal to -48 when you multiply them.

The two numbers would be -6 and 8. You then differentiate the squares.

22. 
The GCF is 2, so you must group it out.

Find the two numbers that will equal to 5 when you add them and will equal to 4 when you multiply them.

The two numbers would be 1 and 4. Finally, differentiate the squares.

24. 
The GCF is 5m, so you must group it out.

Find the two numbers that will equal to 6 when you add them and will equal to -7 when you multiply them.

The two numbers would be -1 and 7. Finally, differentiate the squares.

Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-2x + 8 = 18
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Subtract 8 on both sides: -2x = 10
- Divide both sides by -2: x = -5
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
-2(-5) + 8 = 18
10 + 8 = 18
18 = 18
Answer: x = 7
`Step-by-step explanation:
Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:
9 cm 72 cm
----------- = -----------
3x - 20 56 cm
Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²
Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:
3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7
Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27. Then x must be 9.
Use Bidmas, solve all the inner brackets (), with first division, then multiplication then addition then subtraction
