Answer:

  add x

Step-by-step explanation:

The operation "subtract 5" has eliminated the constant from the right side of the equation, so the next step would be to eliminate the variable from the left side. You do that by adding the opposite of the variable term.

The opposite of the term -x is x, so we "add x" as the next step.

This makes the solution look like ...

  -x +6 = 5 -3x

  -x +1 = -3x . . . . . . subtract 5

  1 = -2x . . . . . . . . . add x

  -1/2 = x . . . . . . . . .divide by -2

_____

<em>Comment on this solution</em>

My preference is always to add the opposite of the variable term with the smallest coefficient. Here, that term is -3x, so I would add 3x as a first step. This leaves the only x-term with a <em>positive</em> coefficient, so can reduce errors in the solution.

9900 watts-hours is how much it consumes in a period of 5 days and 12 hours.............to check this: multiply 1800 by 5 and it equals 9000 then you divide 1800 by 2 because 12hours is a half day and it is 900 after all that you add 9000+900 and it equals 9900

Duncan takes a break from studying and goes to the gym to swim laps. If swimming burns 9.05×105 cal per hour, how many kilojoule
fgiga [73]

For this case we have to by definition:

1 kilojoule equals 0.239006 kilocalorie.

1 kilocalorie equals 1000 calories

Then, if we have:9.05 * 10 ^ 5 \frac {calories} {hour} *\frac {1} {1000} \frac {kilocaloria} {calorie} = 9.05 * 10 ^ 2 \frac {kilocaloria} {hour}

Now:

9.05 * 10 ^ 2 \frac {kilocaloria} {hour} * \frac {1} {0.239006} \frac {kilojoule} {kilocaloria} = 3786.52 \frac {kilojoule} {hour}

Answer:

3786.52 \frac {kilojoule} {hour}

Johnathan ran 5 days this week. The most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles. Write an inequality that shows the distance johnathan
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<em><u>An inequality that shows the distance Johnathan could of ran any day this week is:</u></em>

x\leq 3.5

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the distance Johnathan can run any day of this week

Given that,

Johnathan ran 5 days this week. The most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles

Therefore,

Number of days ran = 5

The most he ran in 1 day = 3.5 miles

Thus, the maximum distance he ran in a week is given as:

distance = 5 \times 3.5 = 17.5

The maximum distance he ran in a week is 17.5 miles

If we let x be the distance he can run any day of this week then, we get a inequality as:

x\leq 3.5

If we let y be the total distance he can travel in a week then, we may express it as,

y\leq 17.5

What is the approximate perimeter of a rhombus with the diagonals that measure 12 feet and 18 feet
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The perimeter of a rhombus with diagonals of 12 feet and 18 feet would be 60 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rhombus: S1 + S2 + S3 + S4 = answer. (S stands for side.)

12 ft. + 18 ft. + 12 ft. + 18 ft. = 60 ft.
