A variable is represented by a letter. It is put an equation because it’s unknown information that you need to solve for.


Does that help?

Answer:

It might help you if you knew what  variable was.

A variable can be (x) or (y) or anything really it just a letter the represents a number.

In this case, when it says solve for a variable it means find what the variable equals. For example:

4x + 18 = 2

here you need to find the value of X.

x = -5

X equals negative 5 because you multiply the variable to the number:

4 x -5 = -20

-20 + 18 = 2

making the answer:

4(-5) + 18 = 2

x = -5

(hope this helps)

a used truck for $4,500 he made an agreement with the dealer to put $1,500 and make payments of 350 for the next 10 months that
Aneli [31]
Ist amount paid = $1500
Making $350 for 10 months = 10*350 = $3500
Total amount paid  = 1500 + 3500 = 5000
So an amount of $5000 was paid to cover the cost of $4500 within the ten month period.
I = PRT
Interest, I = 5000 - 4500 = 500Time, t = 10 months = 10/12 = (5/6) year.Principal P = 4500
R = I /(PT)  R = 500 / (4500*5/6)
R = (500*6) / (4500*5)
R = 0.1333..
R ≈ 13.33 %  per annum.

Riley rides his bicycle 1.8 km to Jillian’s house. On the way back, he takes a route that is 740 m shorter than the first route.
postnew [5]
1.8 km >> 1,800 m
1,800 - 740 = 1,060 m
1,060 m >> 1.06 km
The shorter route is 1.06 km.

The points (4,- 4) and (4,- 6) lie on a circle with a radius of 1. Find the center point of the circle.
Katyanochek1 [597]

If we intersect the circle of radius 1 around (4,-4) and the circle of radius 1 around (4,-6) they'll intersect at the center of circle radius 1 that has both those points.  

Here we don't really have to do any math.  It's clear that the midpoint (4,-5) is 1 away from both (4,-4) and (4,-6) so that's our answer:

Answer: (4,-5)
