A positive number
This is because you must add to get from a negative number in order to get to a positive number.
Answer:
2x-5= -20
move -5 to the other side
sign changes from -5 to 5
2x-5+5= -20+5
2x= -15
divide by 2 for both sides
2x/2= -15/2
cross out 2 and 2, divide by 2 and 2 and then becomes x
x= -15/2
Combine like terms. The 5x is grouped to the 8x and the -7 isgrouped with the -55.
This means 5x + 8x = 13x and -7 - 55 = -62
The new expression is 13x - 62. We can't find the exact value of x because the expression wasn't set equal to anything.
(7/8) divided by 200
each card is 0.004375 inches thick
11*2 = 22 (calculating the diameter)
Using πD for the area:
π * 22 = 22π
Getting 3/4 of the area because the dog can not move past the corners of the garage;
22π * 3/4 = 16.5π
Getting the answer in feet^2:
16.5 * 3.14 = 51.84 feet^2
Hope this helps! :)
