How do I solve an equation like this, one with a negative in front of parentheses?

The factor outside the parentheses is -1. Distribute using that factor.

2 - (4 - <em>x</em>) = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>

<em />

-1 * 4 = -4 and -1 * -<em>x</em> = <em>x</em>

<em />

2 - 4 + <em>x</em> = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>

Simplify.

-2 + <em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em>

<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 2

-<em>x</em> = 2

<em>x</em> = -2

<h3>Answer:</h3>

<em>x</em> = -2

Four square pieces of corkboard are lined up to make a rectangle. The area of the entire corkboard is
Pavel [41]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) attached

  b) 100 square inches, 1/4 of the total

  c) square root of area

  d) multiply by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A diagram is attached

__

b) If the total area consists of 4 squares of the same size, then the area of one square will be 1/4 of the total area. 1/4 of 400 square inches is 100 square inches, the area of one square.

__

c) The area of a square is the square of the side length. You find the side length by finding the square root of the area. √(100 in²) = 10 in, the side length of each square.

__

d) The rectangle is 4 squares laid side by side, so its length is 4 times the side length of one square: 4×10 in = 40 in.

How do you do this math
Basile [38]

Answer: y = -3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to write a <u>linear equation</u> is with slope-intercept form.               Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the              y-intercept.

Thus, the equation is y = -3x - 6

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you are confused anywhere.

sammy [17]
Check the picture below

in case you want to know how to get who's the adjacent or opposite, notice in the picture, if you put your eye on the angle itself, what you'd be facing is the opposite side, the adjacent is the side touching the angle.

Anyone know how to find the area of an equilateral triangle circumscribed about a circle, given the radius of the circle?
tia_tia [17]
Warning: This might be rough...
First draw it out. Label the angles at the corners of the triangle 60 (definition of equilateral triangles). Now draw a line from the center of the circle to the corner, splitting the corner in half. Label this line R and a corner as 30 degrees. No to find the height of this triangle, you do rsin(30). The base of this triangle is 2rcos(30). Now find the area of this mini triangle (rsin(30)*2rcos(30)/2=r/2*rsqrt(3)/2=r^2sqrt(3)/4). Now multiply this by 3 because you have 3 mini triangles... to get...
