Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{x \ = \ 11 \ or \ x \ = \ -11}}$

Explanation:

$\bold{x(x \ - \ 1) \ = \ 121 \ - \ x}$

Simplify both sides of the equation

x² − x = −x + 121

Add x to both sides

x² − x + x = −x + 121 + x

x² = 121

Take square root

x = ± √121

x = 11 or x = −11

Answer:

$x=11$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x(x-1)=121-x\\\\x^2-x=121-x\\\\x^2=121\\\\x=\sqrt{121}\\\\x=11$

Seven and thirty twp hundreths plus two and one tenth times two and seven tenths minus 18a

alexdok [17]

Answer: Write the expression as:

" 70 $\frac{32}{100}$ +
2 $\frac{1}{10}$ * 2 $\frac{7}{10$ − 18a " ;
______________________________________________________
or; write as:
______________________________________________________
" 70.32 + (2.1) * (2.7) − 18a " ;
______________________________________________________

To simplify:
______________________________________________________

Using "PEDMAS" (the "order of operations") ;

the "multiplication" comes first;

So: → "(2.1) * (2.7) = 5.67 " .

And rewrite:
______________________________________________________
" 70.32 + 5.67 − 18a " .

Now: " 70.32 + 5.67 = 75.99 " ;

So, we can the final simplified expression as:
______________________________________________________
" 75.99 − 18a " ;

or; write as: " 75 $\frac{99}{100}$ − 18a " .
______________________________________________________

Someone please help me on this!

Alexxx [7]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

This can be proven with the SAS theorem (side-angle-side)

With a perpendicular bisector, the line it bisects is cut directly in half. This creates two equal sides:

$GJ=IJ$

and it creates two 90° angles:

∠ $GJH=$ ∠ $IJH$

And because of the reflexive property of congruence:

$JH=JH$

Side-Angle-Side.

-2+4(-x+4)=10 using distributive property and collecting like terms

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2+4(-x+4)=10\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\-2+(4)(-x)+(4)(4)=10\\\\-2-4x+16=10\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\-4x+(-2+16)=10\\\\-4x+14=10\qquad\text{subtract 14 from both sides}\\\\-4x+14-14=10-14\\\\-4x=-4\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-4}{-4}\\\\x=1$

Write and solve an equation to find the number n. The difference of three times a number and 4 is -19.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the unknown number

difference is subtraction

3n -4 = -19

Add 4 to each side

3n-4+4 = -19+4

3n = -15

Divide by 3

3n/3 = -15/3

n = -5
