8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sphinxa [80]4 years ago
3 0

8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44

mutiply the bracket by -4

(-4)(5) = -20

(-4)(-x)= 4x

8x-20+4x= -44

8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )

12x-20= -44

move -20 to the other side

sign changes from -20 to +20

12x-20+20= -44+20

12x= -44+20

12x= -24

divide both sides by 12

12x/12= -24/12

Answer: x= -2

What is the relationship between 0.04 and 0.004?
Nimfa-mama [501]
We have to determine the relationship between 0.04 and 0.004. The first number, 0.04 is 4 hundredths and the secind number ( 0.004 ) is 4 thousanths. Therefore 0.04 is larger than 0.004. if we divide 0.04 : 0.004 = 40 : 4 = 10. Answer : 0.04 is 10 times greater<span> than 0.004.</span>

Plot point C(2,7). If M is the midpoint of CD , what are the coordinates of D?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of D is (-4,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

C = (2,7)

<em>M=(-1,-1)  ----- Missing part of question</em>

Required

Determine the coordinates of D

<em>Let the coordinates of D be (x₂,y₂)</em>

<em>We'll solve this question using mid point formula;</em>

<em></em>M(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})<em></em>

<em>Where</em>

C(x_1,y_1) = (2,7)    and     M(x,y) = (-1,-1)

Put these values in the formula

(-1,-1) = (\frac{2+x_2}{2},\frac{7+y_2}{2})

By comparison;

-1 = \frac{2+x_2}{2}  and -1 = \frac{7+y_2}{2}

-1 = \frac{2+x_2}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

-2 = 2 + x_2

Subtract 2 from both sides

-2 -2 = x_2

x_2 = -4

-1 = \frac{7+y_2}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

-2 = 7 + y_2

Subtract 7 from both sides

-2 - 7 = y_2

y_2 = -9

<em>Hence, the coordinates of D is (-4,-9)</em>

Write an absolute value function that shifted 2<br> units right.<br><br> HELPPPP
iVinArrow [24]

Answer: (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the original function is y=\left | x \right |

To shift it 2 units right, replace x by x-2 such that

\Rightarrow x-2=0\\\Rightarrow x=2

So, the function becomes y=\left | x -2\right |

A worker is handling the four of a rectangle room that is 12 feet by 15 feet.The tiles are square with side lengths 1 1/3 feet.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the floor of the rectangular room that is 12 feet by 15 feet. The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

Area of the rectangular room would be

12 × 15 = 180 feet²

The tiles are square with side lengths 1 1/3 feet. Converting 1 1/3 feet to improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 feet

Area if each tile is

4/3 × 4/3 = 16/9 ft²

The number of tiles needed to cover the entire floor is

180/(16/9) = 180 × 9/16

= 101.25

102 tiles would be needed because the tiles must be whole numbers.
