2 answers:

7 0

-9(x) = -117

Solve for "a number" (x). Isolate it. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide -9 from both sides.

-9x/-9 = -117/-9

x = -117/-9

x = 13

13 is your answer

hope this helps

Let's have X represent the number we're looking for.
Times means that we are multiplying, so let's make an equation.
-9x=-117
We know by looking at this equation that the number is positive since the number is multiplied by a negative and the answer is negative.
Let's get x by itself by dividing both sides by -9.
-117÷-9=13=x

So, the number is 13.

Find the distance between the two numbers on a number line. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. - 7/9, - 2/9 The d

Nesterboy [21]

The distance between the two points on the number line is of $\mathbf{\frac{5}{9}}$ units.

-------------------------------------------

The distance between two numbers on the number line is given by the <u>subtraction of the greater by the smaller number.</u>
The greater number is $-\frac{2}{9}$
The smaller is $-\frac{7}{9}$ .
The distance is:

$-\frac{2}{9} - (-\frac{7}{9}) = -\frac{2}{9} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{-2 + 7}{9} = \frac{5}{9}$

Thus, distance of $\mathbf{\frac{5}{9}}$ units.

Which unit of measurement would Guatemalans typically use to measure milk for a recipe? a) milliliters b) grams c) ounces d) gal

oksian1 [2.3K]

Guatemalans would use milliliters because they use the metric system which is common throughout Latin America and which is basically easier to use than the Imperial system because it is all divisible by 10 whether it be millitres,litres,meters, kilometers etc.

Compare the graph of the function, g(x)=(1)/(x-1)-3(, with the graph of its parent function. ) Which of the following options be

mars1129 [50]

Answers:

right 1, down 3 (these two answers only)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two transformations going on. The first of which is the horizontal or x translation (aka shifting) where the 'x' turns into 'x-1'. This moves the xy axis 1 spot to the left, giving the illusion that the graph moves 1 unit to the right.

The "-3" at the end shifts the graph down 3 units. If g(x) = f(x) - 3, then g(x) is the output of f(x) but 3 less than that, which is why it shifts down 3 units.
