Mathematics

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

I need help on how to do combinations
Veronika [31]
Ok sure! Let's start with the marbles first. We have one red one blue and one green. There is a red and a blue cube. All we do is list the possible combinations of one marble and one cube. The answer would be : 1 blue marble, 1 blue cube. 1 red marble, 1 blue cube. 1 green marble, 1 blue cube. Then again but with the red cube. So in all, there are 6 possible combinations. Hope this helps. ☺️

Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee.
svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the number of cards Kenny has

Let Y is the number of cards Lee has

1. Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee, it means

X = Y + 5/7X (1)

2. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee, it means:

X + 50%X = Y +  220 (2)

So, we solve the 2 equations to find out X and Y

\left \{ {{X=Y + 5/7X} \atop {1.5X=Y +220}} \right.

<=> X = \frac{3080}{17} and Y = \frac{880}{17}

<=> X ≈181 and Y ≈ 52

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to determine what type of triangle will be formed given the length of the pieces which was used to form the triangle.

A triangle is one of the simplest shape in geometry. In fact it is one of the basic shapes that we have in geometry. It is a 3 sided polygon that contains 3 different edges or tips and 3 vertices.

According to the values in the question, we can see that the lengths of the pieces given are different. Now what does this mean for the triangle formed?

The type of triangle formed here would be a scalene triangle. A scalene triangle is a type of triangle in which all of its 3 sides have different lengths. Consequentially, the angles formed by these three sides also are different.

What is the answer for B and how did you get it ?
Orlov [11]
The length of side b is 52 because using the Pythagorean theorem we know that a² + b² = c². When we plug in the known values we would get 1521 + b² = 4225, and when we subtract 1521 from both sides we would get b = 52.
