Answer:

x=-12

(Please vote me Brainliest if this helped!)

Step-by-step explanation:

-\left(x+5\right)=7

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-1

\frac{-\left(x+5\right)}{-1}=\frac{7}{-1}

\mathrm{Simplify}

x+5=-7

\mathrm{Subtract\:}5\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}

x+5-5=-7-5

\mathrm{Simplify}

x=-12

The area of a rectangle is square units. Factor this expression. Given your answer in part A, describe what you can conclude abo
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The factored area of the rectangle=2(2w-5)

Area of a rectangle=length×width

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle is 4w - 10 square units

We have to factor the expression

Area of rectangle = 4w - 10

common factor=2

Area of rectangle = 2(2w - 5)

Thus the given expression is factored

Area of a rectangle=length × width

Area of the rectangle=2×(2w-5)

Thus, it is safe to say

The length=2 or (2w-5)

The width=(2w-5) or 2

Our math team had m students last year, but this year it has already n students! By what percent did the number of students grow
AlekseyPX
For this case we are going to assume the following:
 m: whole number greater than zero.
 n: integer greater than zero.
 Where,
 n> m
 According to these assumptions, the percentage of growth is given by the following formula:
 (n / m) * 100 - 100
 Answer:
 
the number of students did grow by:
 
(n / m) * 100 - 100

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (3, -8) and (7,-2).
sashaice [31]

Answer:

A line that passes through (3, -8) and (7,-2).

Denote equation of that line: y = ax + b

=> Slope a can be directly determined by:

a = (7 - 3)/(-2 - -8) = 4/6 = 2/3

=> y = (2/3)x + b

This line passes (3, -8), then: -8 = (2/3)*3 + b => -8 = 2 + b => b = -10

=> y =(2/3)x - 10

There are other ways to find equation of line.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$1,131.20 is the amount earned

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Simple Interest Formula, Operations ( +, - , x , / )</u>

1) To understand this problem, you need to know the simple interest formula.

A = P(1+rt)

A is the amount

P is the principal

R is the interest rate as a decimal

T is the time in years

2) The 1st thing we need to do is convert the interest rate into a decimal. We have 14%. To convert into decimal form, we divide it by a 100, or move the decimal 2 places to the left. This is 0.14 --> So r=0.14

3) Next we use the formula:

A = 1,010(1+ 0.14(8))

  1. We first do 0.14(8) which is 1.12 and then add it to the 1 value, so you will get --> A = 1,010(2.12)
  2. Multiply and you will get A = $2,141.20
  3. To find the interest earned, you subtract this by the original amount, so $2,141.20 - $1,010 which would be $1,131.20

This means $1,131.20 is your answer.

<em>Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D</em>

Explain or show work to prove that the following equation is true.6 x 8 = 3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove the equation id true, solve both sides and if they are equal then the equation is true.

left side = 6 × 8 = 48

right side = 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

               = 6 × 2 × 2 × 2

              = 12 × 2 × 2

              = 24 × 2

=             = 48

Since both sides are equal then the equation is true
