Answer:

D;Multiply each side by −5, add 25 to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/5 (x − 25) = 7

To solve this equation, we will first multiply both-side of the equation by -5

-5 × -1/5(x-25) =7 × 5

(At the left-hand side of this equation, the  5 we multiplied will cancel the 5 at the denominator, leaving us with just '1' since negative multiply by negative is positive), Hence our equation becomes;

(x - 25) = 35

x - 25 = 35

Then the next thing to do is to add 25 to both-side of the equation in other to get the value of your x

x -25 + 25 = 35 + 25

x=60

Therefore,  option D is the correct sequence of operation to follow to enable you solve the equation.

If a work group consistently achieves 80 % of its quarterly goals and the work group generally has 25 objectives per quarter how
storchak [24]
What this question is asking you to find 80% of 25. 10% of 25 is 2.5 because there is always a decimal point directly to the right of the ones place. (25.0)
You would move the decimal point over one place to find 10% of a given number. How I would approach this is to multiply 2.5 by 8 to find 80% of 25

2.5 x 8 = 20

80% of 25 = 20

You can expect the work group to get done 20 out of 25 of their objectives per quarter

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<h3>9.43</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as

D =√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinates (0,0) and (8,5)

D = √(5-0)²+(8-0)²

D = √5²+8²

D = √25 + 64

D = √89

<em>D = 9.43</em>

<em>Hence the distance between the life guard and the swimmer is 9.43</em>

Find two consecutive even integers such that twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
drek231 [11]
<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2

<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16

<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14

<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12

Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12
