Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{X=-18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember to solve this problem, division property of equality is divide both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number doesn't change the equation.

Divide -8 from both sides.

$\displaystyle \frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{144}{-8}$

Solve.

$\displaystyle 144\div-8=-18$

In conclusion, the correct answer is x=-18.

Answer:

x=−18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−8x=144

Step 1: Divide both sides by -8.

−8x−8=144−8

x=−18

Test for the commutative property of union and intersection of the sets P = { x : x is all real numbers between 2 and 7} and Q =

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P = {x : x is a real number between 2 and 7}

{x: 3,4,5,6}

Q = {x : x is all rational number between 2 and 7}

{4 }

We know that P contains all the rational numbers between 2 and 7.

And P ∪ Q and Q ∪ P each of them contain all the real numbers which are between 2 and 7.

{3,4,5,6}

Here Q is the proper subset of P

P ∩ Q = Q ∩ P = Q= {4}

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses is directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying. The helicopter flies for

dezoksy [38]

Answer: 44 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Using proportion,

33 gallons = 3hours

X = 4hours

Cross multiply

3 × X = 33 × 4

3X = 132

Divide bothside by 3

3x/3 =132/3

X = 44

Therefore the helicopter uses 44gallons for 4 hours.

Prove that, in a right triangle with a 15° angle, the altitude to the hypotenuse is one fourth of the hypotenuse.

igomit [66]

Consider the attached figure. If AB has length 1, then BC has length sin(15°) and CD (the altitude of triangle ABC) has length sin(15°)·cos(15°).

By the double angle formula for sin(α), ...

... sin(2α) = 2sin(α)cos(α)

Rearranging, this gives

... sin(α)·cos(α) = sin(2α)/2

We have

... CD = sin(15°)·cos(15°) = sin(2·15°)/2

... CD = sin(30°)/2 = (1/2)/2 = 1/4

That is, the altitude, CD, is 1/4 the hypotenuse, AB, of triangle ABC.
