Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Convert words into an expression</u>
What is the value of x in the equation 13 x minus 2 (8 + 5 x) = 12 minus 11 x?
13x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x
<u>Step 2: Distribute</u>
13x - 2(8 + 5x) = 12 - 11x
13x - 16 - 10x = 12 - 11x
<u>Step 3: Solve for x</u>
13x - 16 - 10x + 11x + 16 = 12 - 11x + 11x + 16
14x / 14 = 28 / 14
x = 2
Answer: x = 2
With Calculator:
To work out the multiplier, take the percentage, divide by 100 and add 1
17.5% / 100 = 0.175
1 + 0.175 = 1.175
£50 x 1.175 = £58.75
Without Calculator:
First work out easy percentages of 50 (if needed use previous answers (such as 10) to work out smaller percentages (such as 5%))
100% = 50
10% = 5
5% = 2.5
2.5% = 1.25
10% + 5% + 2.5% = 17.5%
5 + 2.5 + 1.25 = £8.75
Add this on to the original price:
£50 + £8.75 = £58.75
The total price, including VAT, is £58.75
Answer:
143 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 pairs of sides to this shape,
1 pair is the top and bottom pieces, each has an area of 4(3) = 12 cm², so there are 24 cm² from this pair.
the second pair is the front and back pieces, each has an area of
4(8.5) = 34 cm², so there are 68 cm² from this pair.
the third pair are the side pieces, each has an area of
3(8.5) = 25.5 cm², so there are 51 cm² from this pair.
Al together there are 24 + 68 + 51 = 143 cm²
For -4+2, plot -4, then move to the right 2 spaces. You should land on -2.
For -4+(-2), plot -4 then move the left 2 spaces. You should land on -6.
Answer:
when there are no parentheses around the base, this being -2 we put parentheses around the the 2 and the exponent so it will look like -(2^6) making whatever answer you get negative.
when you put parentheses around the base (-2)^6 you will get 64
