Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}*(x-5)=\frac{-2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Difference of a number & 5 : x-5

1/3 time the difference of a number & 5: 1/3 (x-5)

Equation:

$\frac{1}{3}*(x-5)=\frac{-2}{3}$

Solution:

$x-5=\frac{-2}{3}*\frac{3}{1}\\\\x-5=-2\\\\x=-2+5\\x=3$

If a+b = 7, and a² +b²=25<br>then ab = ?

Rama09 [41]

a2+b2=25

or, (a+b)^2-2ab=25

or, (7)^2-2ab=25 [a+b=7]

or, 49-25=2ab

or, 24/2=an

I am a 3-digit decimal. The sum of my digits is nine. One of my decimal digits is 0. I have a 3 in my tenths place. Who am I?

dezoksy [38]

.360 or .306
Because 3 is in the tenths place, there is a 0, and 3+6+0= 3+6=9 the sum of all the digits. And it’s a three digit decimal.

Clara created a coordinate grid of her city. The bowling alley is located at (10, 12) and the skating rink is located at (-6, -4

yulyashka [42]

First we need to know the coordinates of the movie theater, we can do this applying the midpoint formula:

$\begin{gathered} P(BA,SR)=(\frac{10-6}{2},\frac{12-4}{2})\text{ = (}\frac{4}{2},\frac{8}{2}) \\ \Rightarrow P(BA,SR)=(2,4) \end{gathered}$

We have that the movie theater is located at (2,4). Now we use this coordinates to find the location of Clara's house using again the midpoint formula:

$\begin{gathered} P(MT,SR)=(\frac{-6+2}{2},\frac{4-4}{2})=(-\frac{4}{2},0) \\ \Rightarrow P(MT,SR)=(-2,0) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, Clara's house is located at (-2,0)
