The given equation is

8-9x=27

To solve for x, we have to subtract 8 to both sides

8-9x-9 = 27-8 \\ -9x = 19

Now we need to get rid of -9 from the left side, and for that we do division

\frac{-9x}{-9} = \frac{19}{-9}

x = - \frac{19}{9}

A sphere with center A is shown. Which represents a tangent?<br> | WE
lana [24]

Answer:

<h2>The segment FE is a tangent of the sphere.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Obseve the sphere in the image attached.

Notice that point A is the center of the sphere. GD is the diameter, which means AG and AD are radius.

On the other hand, remember that a tangent is a line that intersects the figure at only one point, otherwise, it would be a secant.

Therefore, segment BC is a secant and segment FE is tangent.

So, the right answer is segment FE.

Building a is 271 meters taller than building
kvv77 [185]

Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).

... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b

... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211

Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.

... 2b - (b+271) = 211

... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271

... a = b +271 = 753

Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.

a student says that if 5x^2 = 20, then x must be equal to 2. do u agre or disagree with the student? justify your answer.​
inna [77]

Answer:

The student is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 5x² = 20:

It is true that the value of x = 2 because 2² = 4, and when you multiply 4 with 5, you'll get a product of 20:

5x² = 20

5(2)² = 20

5(4) = 20

20 = 20

Therefore, the student is correct that x = 2.
