Answer:

<h2>x = -7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3(x+4)=-5\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\2x+(-3)(x)+(-3)(4)=-5\\\\2x-3x-12=-5\qquad\text{add 12 to both sides}\\\\-x=7\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\x=-7

The answer is -7

2x-3(x+4)=-5

Multiply by -3

2x-3x-12=-5

Collect like terms

-x-12=-5

Move constant to the right to change its sign

-x=-5+12

Add

-x=7

Change the signs

x=-7

Use the diagram to determine which statement is true
hichkok12 [17]
A. Area of ABCD - Area of DGA = Area of DEFG
s^2 - 1/2bh = s^2
(5)^2 - 1/2(4)(3) = (3)^2
25 - 1/2(12) = 9
25 - 24 = 9
1 not equal to 9

B. Area of ABCD - Area of GHIA = Area of DGA
s^2 - s^2 = 1/2bh
(5)^2 - (4)^2 = 1/2(4)(3)
25 - 16 = 1/2(12)
9 not equal to 6

C. Area of ABCD + Area of DGA = Area of GHIA
s^2 + 1/2bh = s^2
(5)^2 + 1/2(4)(3) = (4)^2
25 + 1/2(12) = 16
25 + 6 = 16
31 not equal to 16

D. Area of DEFG + Area of GHIA = Area of ABCD
s^2 + s^2 = s^2
(3)^2 + (4)^2 = (5)^2
9 + 16 = 25
25 = 25

The answer is D.

Insulin is used to regulate sugar in the bloodstream. A dose of 10 units breaks down by about 5% each minute after injection. Ho
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Explanation:

• The initial dose of the Insulin = 10 Units

The insulin breaks down by about 5% each minute, therefore:

• The decay rate, r= 5%

We want to determine the time it will take for the remaining dosage to be half (5 units) of the original dose.

We use the exponential decay function:

N(t)=N_o(1-r)^t

Substituting the given values, we have:

\begin{gathered} 5=10(1-0.05)^t \\ \frac{5}{10}=0.95^t \\ 0.5=0.95^t \end{gathered}

To solve for t, we change to logarithm form.

Can someone help me with this please
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

B = 22

C = 122

D = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles of a triangle add to 180. Take the measure of each angle add them together. Set them equal to 180.

2x + x + 4 + 7x - 4 = 180

10x = 180

x = 18

To find each angle, substitute x = 18.

Angle B is 18 + 4 = 22

Angle C is 7(18) - 4 = 122

Angle D is 2(18) = 36
