Hi there!

The first correct step for solving the equation will be to get rid of the parentheses, and it will be like so,

-5(4x - 7)

Divide -5 on both 4x and -7, you will get, -20x + 35.

Hope this helped!~

Answer:

the answers are 12.5, 5, 2, 0.8 and 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

2(0.4)^-2

=2(6.25)

= 12.5

2(0.4)^-1

= 2(2.5)

2(0.4)^0

=2(1)

2(0.4)^1

=2(0.4)

=0.8

2(0.4)^2

=2(0.16)

=0.32

Where will her cut be located? Round to the nearest tenth. x = (StartFraction m Over m + n EndFraction) (x 2 minus x 1) + x 1 A

Answer:

The correct answer is 25.2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that number line goes from 0 to 60 which can be used to represent a ribbon of length = 60 inches.

2 inches of the ribbon are frayed so actual length = 58 inches

Please refer to the attached image for the ribbon.

A is at 0

C is at 60

B is at 2

P is the point to divide the remaining ribbon in the ratio 2:3.

Part AB of the ribbon is frayed.

BP: PC = 2:3

Let BP = 2 $x$ and PC = 3 $x$

Now, BP + PC = BC = 58 = 2 $x$ + 3 $x$ = 5 $x$

So,

$5x =58\\\Rightarrow x =11.6$

BP = $2\times x = 2 \times 11.6 = 23.2\ inches$

Location of the Cut = 2 + 23.2 = 25.2 inches

Alternatively, we can use the formula directly:

$x = \dfrac{m} {m + n } (x_2 - x_1) + x_1$

$x_1 = 2\\x_2 = 60$

m: n is the ratio 2:3

$x = \dfrac{2} {2 +3 } (60- 2) + 2\\\Rightarrow 0.4 (58 )+2\\\Rightarrow 23.2+2 \\\Rightarrow \bold{25.2\ inches}$
