Hey!

To solve this problem we'll divide both sides by -15. Doing this will get $x$ on its own.

Original Equation :
-15x = 240

New Equation {Changed by Dividing Both Sides by -15} :
$\frac{-15x}{-15}$ = $\frac{-240}{-15}$

Alright, now we simplify solve the equation.

Old Equation :
$\frac{-15x}{-15}$ = $\frac{-240}{-15}$

Solved {Old Equation Solved} :
x = 16

Now we know that in the equation -15x = -240, x = 16.

Hope this helps!

You divide -15 on both sides to keep the x alone
-240/ -15=16
A negative divided by a negative is a positive so x=16

If I have 7 button down shirts, 5 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of shoes that I can wear to work then how many different outfits ca

34kurt

105 different outfits can wear on an individual day

Solution:

I have 7 button down shirts, 5 pairs of pants and 3 pairs of shoes that I can wear to work

To find: Number of different outfits can I wear on an individual day

First he has to decide on a pair of pants and he has 5 different choices

For each of those choices he has a choice of 7 different button down shirts, so that gives him 5 x 7 = 35 different pant/shirt combinations

For each of those 35 different pant/shirt combinations, he has 3 pairs of shoes he could select, so altogether he has 35 x 3 = 105 different outfits

In short we can say,

different outfits = 7 x 5 x 3 = 105

So there 105 different outfits can wear on an individual day

Wanda wants to buy 4.35 pounds of chicken salad. The grocery store sells chicken salad for $2.29 a pound. How much does the chic

LenKa [72]

This is very simple.

If you want 4.35 pounds, and it's 2.29 a pound, you simply multiply 4.35 by 2.29.

4.35 * 2.29 = 9.9615 or 10

The chicken salad costs $9.9615 or $10, whichever you need.

In triangle ABC, P is a centroid on a median AD. If AD=33 and AP>PD find AP

jasenka [17]

Answer:

AP = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1.

It is given that AD is the median and AD = 33

It is also given that P is the centroid on the median AD.

Therefore, P divides AD in the ratio 2:1.

$\frac{AP}{PD} =\frac{2}{1}$

AP = 2k and PD = k

AD = 33

AP + PD = 33

2k + k = 33

3k = 33

k = 11

So, AP = 2k = 2(11) = 22
