Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-6)=2(x+3)

5x-30=2x+6

5x=2x+36

3x=36

x=12

Not sure how to do this

It's pretty simple! So it looks like you are learning proportions. You would cross multiply to achieve your answer. 

First, let's do your first problem: 

2     12
--- = ----
5       n 

You would take 5 and multiply it by 12 and get 60! Then you would do the same with 2 times n, giving you 2n (because you do not know what n represents YET.) 

Now you should have this:
60=2n OR 2n=60

We must isolate our variable, in order to do that, get rid of two! But how? You would do this by dividing 2n by 2. Yet in equations, when you do something to one side, you must do it to the other because they must be EQUAL! (hence the "equa-" in equation) 

2n=60
---   ---
2      2  DIVIDE 2 into 60
----------
n= 30   Simplify! 

Your final answer for the first question is n= 30!

Alec pours the same amount of soup into three balls he used 4 cups of soup how much soup is in each bowl
Ugo [173]
For this question you would need to do 4 divided by 3.  The answer would be 1.3 cup(s) would be in each bowl.


Hope that helps!!

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence? A.-2, 4, -6, 8, ... B.2, 4, 8, 16, ... C.-8, -6, -4, -2, ...
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.

A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.

B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.

C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

Hope this helps!

I do not need an explanation, just a simple angle number!
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 143 = 180    {Linear pair}

a = 180 - 143

a = 37

37 + 93 + b = 180 {Angle sum property of triangle}

130 + b = 180

         b = 180 - 130

         b = 40

c + b = 90

c  + 40 = 90

c = 90 - 40

c = 50

d + 120 = 180   {Linear pair}

d = 180 - 120

d = 60

? = 60 + 40         {Exterior angle property of triangle}

? = 100
