Answer:

The number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of twice a number and 12 is 2x - 12.

Multiplying by 5 gives 5(2x - 12)

So 5(2x - 12) = -20

Solving for x

10x - 60 = -20

10x  = -20 + 60 = 40

x = 40/10

x = 4.

Help asap plz ill give a gold medal. the label on cars antifreeze claims to protect the car between -30celsius and 130celsius. t
irga5000 [103]
The inequality would start out looking like this:
-30\ \textless \  \frac{5}{9} (F-32)\ \textless \ 130
Now it's just a matter of solving the inequalities simultaneously. Get rid of the fraction by multiplying everything by 9:
-270\ \textless \ 5(F-32)\ \textless \ 1170
Then distribute the 5 into the parenthesis:
-270\ \textless \ 5F-160\ \textless \ 1170
Now add 160 everywhere:
-110\ \textless \ 5F\ \textless \ 1330
and finally divide everything by 5:
-22<F<266

Solve the following 3 × 3 system. Enter the coordinates of the solution below.
love history [14]
The system is:

i)    <span>2x – 3y – 2z = 4
ii)    </span><span>x + 3y + 2z = –7
</span>iii)   <span>–4x – 4y – 2z = 10 

the last equation can be simplified, by dividing by -2, 

thus we have:

</span>i)    2x – 3y – 2z = 4
ii)    x + 3y + 2z = –7
iii)   2x +2y +z = -5 


The procedure to solve the system is as follows:

first use any pairs of 2 equations (for example i and ii, i and iii) and equalize them by using one of the variables:

i)    2x – 3y – 2z = 4   
iii)   2x +2y +z = -5 

2x can be written as 3y+2z+4 from the first equation, and -2y-z-5 from the third equation.

Equalize:  

3y+2z+4=-2y-z-5, group common terms:
5y+3z=-9   

similarly, using i and ii, eliminate x:

i)    2x – 3y – 2z = 4
ii)    x + 3y + 2z = –7

multiply the second equation by 2:


i)    2x – 3y – 2z = 4
ii)    2x + 6y + 4z = –14

thus 2x=3y+2z+4 from i and 2x=-6y-4z-14 from ii:

3y+2z+4=-6y-4z-14
9y+6z=-18

So we get 2 equations with variables y and z:

a)   5y+3z=-9 
b)   9y+6z=-18

now the aim of the method is clear: We eliminate one of the variables, creating a system of 2 linear equations with 2 variables, which we can solve by any of the standard methods.

Let's use elimination method, multiply the equation a by -2:

a)   -10y-6z=18 
b)   9y+6z=-18
------------------------    add the equations:

-10y+9y-6z+6z=18-18
-y=0
y=0,

thus :
9y+6z=-18 
0+6z=-18
z=-3

Finally to find x, use any of the equations i, ii or iii:

<span>2x – 3y – 2z = 4 
</span>
<span>2x – 3*0 – 2(-3) = 4

2x+6=4

2x=-2

x=-1

Solution: (x, y, z) = (-1, 0, -3 ) 


Remark: it is always a good attitude to check the answer, because often calculations mistakes can be made:

check by substituting x=-1, y=0, z=-3 in each of the 3 equations and see that for these numbers the equalities hold.</span>

When Angela calculated her net worth; she got this: Net Worth = $435 - $560 = - $125. What does her negative net worth mean?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The negative net worth mean her liabilities are larger than her assets.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Angela's calculation of net worth:

                            Net Worth = $435 - $560 = - $125

  • Net worth is the difference in assets and debt. If the net worth is negative it means that debt is greater than assets.
  • The same thing is in Angela's case. Her debt or liability is greater than total assets hence making her net worth negative.
  • Her liability is still $125 greater than all of her assets added upon.
