Answer:

$x=\frac{-11}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute 7 into (x+3) and -2 into (x-5)

7x+21=-2x+10

add -2x on both sides

7x+2x+21=10

9x+21=10

subtract 21 on both sides

9x=-11

divide both sides by 9

x=-11/9

hope this helps

Answer:

x = -11/9

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distribute

7x+21 = -2x+10

Add 2x to each side

7x+21 +2x = -2x+10+2x

9x +21 = 10

Subtract 21 from each side

9x +21-21 = 10-21

9x = -11

Divide each side by 9

9x/9 = -11/9

x = -11/9

Answer:

(x, y ) → (- y, - x )

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the coordinates of corresponding vertices of the 2 triangles, that is

A(1, 7 ) → D(- 7, - 1 )

Note the coordinates of D are the negative reversals of A

Thus (x, y ) → (- y, - x )

A bag contains 3 red, 4 blue, and 6 yellow marbles. One marble is selected at a time, and once a marble is selected, it is not r

astraxan [27]

The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given

Total number of marbles in the bag = 13 marbles

Number of yellow marbles = 6.

We choose 2 marbles from the bag without replacing and need to determine the probability that both are yellow.

Step 2 :

Probability of finding yellow marble in the first try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = $\frac{6}{13}$

Once the yellow marble is selected we have 5 yellow marbles among 12 remaining marbles in the bag.

Probability of finding yellow marble in the second try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = $\frac{5}{12}$

Step 3:

P(yellow in first 2 tries) = P(yellow in first try) * P(yellow in second try)

P(yellow in first 2 tries) = $\frac{6}{13} * \frac{5}{12}$ = $\frac{5}{26}$

Step 4:

Answer:

The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26

in Mrs. Dawson's class, 16 out of 24 students made at least an 80% on the last math test. Write a ratio in simplest form compari

Thepotemich [5.8K]

16:24 students made at least 80% on the test. The question is what is the ratio of students who scored below an 80% to the total number of students. 8:24 would be the right answer, but since it is asking for the answer in the simplest form, it would be 1:3.
