We need to express this statement into a equation:

First of all. We will walk through the statement step by step into a mathematical language, so:

1. The sum of five and x:

x + 5

2. Twice the sum of five and x:

2(x + 5)

3. Eight less than x:

(x-8)

     Finally the whole statement is:

4. <span>Twice the sum of five and x is eight less than x:
</span>
2(x + 5) = (x-8)
2x + 10 = x - 8
x = -18

How do I subtract fractions? Please explain step by step to get marked!
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Explained below :)

(I tried my best, sorry if it doesn't make sense.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: 1/4 - 1/8= ?

1: Find the common denominator (bottom number)

2: If the common denominator is 8 then you multiply 1/4 by 2/2 to get the denominator of 8. If you needed then you can multiply the other fraction to get the same denominator.

3: Once you get multiply that then you get 2/8 -1/8.

4: Subtract the numerator (top number) 1

5: Keep the numerator (8)

6: Your answer would be 1/8

What's 29.4983 rounded to the nearest cent
konstantin123 [22]
We need to identify what "the nearest cent" is. 

So! 
AB.CD

That is a representation of a number using variables, but we'll just say it's for place values. 

A is in the Tens Place
B is in the Ones Place
C is in the Tenths Place (1/10)
D is in the Hundredths Place (1/100

Since we are talking about money let's put it in relation to a dollar. 

A is in the Ten Dollar Place
B is in the One Dollar Place
C is in the Tenth of a Dollar Place (1/10 of a dollar)
D is in the Hundredth of a Dollar Place (1/100 of a dollar)

So, what is 1/10 of a dollar? 
What amount of money times 10, would get you 1 dollar. Or you can think of it as if you had 10 of one value of money and you got a dollar what is that? A dime. 

Now, what is 1/100 of a dollar? 
What amount of money times 100, would get you 1 dollar. 1 cent (Or it is sometimes called a penny). 

So that means any number beyond the 1/100 of a dollar point (D) will be rounded. If it's the first number after the 1/100 of a dollar is greater than (or equal to) 5 then we round the cent value up. If it is less than 5 we round down. 

$29.4983
So, 9 is our cent place. 8 is greater than 5, so we round 9 up. (Add 1. Since it is 9 it will carry over into the 1/10 of a dollar place)

Our answer is: 
$29.50

if the total angle of a triangle is 180 A- 43 1/2 B-5x C-26.5 and the started value is 20 what is X?​
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

x= 20.05 degree

180= 43.25+36.50+5x

180= 79.75+5x

5x=180-79.75

5x=100.25

x=20.25

ANGLE B= 100.25

Help will mark brainliest answer
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer : 110 degree

To find angle 1 , we apply outside angle theorem  Lets name each point  Measurement of arc EF=280 degrees  

Measurement of arc GH = 60

Angle D = angle 1

Please refer to the theorem attached below  

angle D = \frac{arc(EF)-arc(GH)}{2}

Now we plug in the values

angle 1 = \frac{280-60}{2}

angle 1 = 110

Measurement of angle 1 = 110 degrees
