Answer:

  A:  -2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want some factor k such that k(5x) +(10x) = 0. That is, 5k+10 = 0. The solution to this is k=-2, corresponding to selection A.

k = -2 for sure

I normally multiply 5x+10y=15 by -2 to cancel out the x's.

This is because you can only solve the problem if one of your variables is canceled out and then you solve!

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Nina is not correct because 393.5$ less then yesterday's ticket sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find total sales she he is not correct because

3 / 4 of 1440 = 1,080$ ticket sales from yesterday

and 295.25 - 33.50 = 261.75$

Therefore, ( 3 / 4 * 1440 ) + ( 295.25 - 33.50 ) = 1,341.75$ sale of today

Ticket from yesterday and today

1,080 - 1,341.75 = 393.5

393.5$ less then yesterday's ticket.

Slove for X= what would this be for Mai poured 2.6 liters of water into a partially filled pitcher. The pitcher then contained 1
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

  x + 2.6 = 10.4

  x = 7.8

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2.6 liters are added to x liters with the result that 10.4 liters then exist, the model is ...

  2.6 +x = 10.4 . . . . . . . 2.6 added to x gives 10.4

The commutative property of addition lets you rewrite this to ...

  x +2.6 = 10.4

__

Subtracting 2.6 from both sides of the equation gives its solution:

  x +2.6 -2.6 = 10.4 -2.6

  x = 7.8

If you multiply a number by 3 and divide by 4 the result is 24. what is the number?
solong [7]
To solve this problem, we are going to set up an equation.  Let the number that we are trying to find be represented by the variable x.  If we plug in the numbers that we know, we get the following equation:

3x/4 = 24

To simplify this equation, we need to multiply both sides by 4, to begin getting the x alone on the left side of the equation.

3x = 96

Finally, we need to divide both sides by 3, to get rid of the coefficient that is being multiplied to x.

x = 32

Therefore, the number that you are trying to find is 32.
