Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation down, the first step is to minus the one from both sides of the equal sign(since it’s the opposite then adding) so you cancel out the 1 and do 7-1 your equation would look like this : -2x=6 the next step is to divide the -2 (it’s the opposite of multiplication) your answer would be x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras' theorem for the smallest one :

$c^2 = 4^2 + 6^2$

$c^2 = 16 + 36$

$c^{2}$ = 52

Pythagoras' theorem for the middle one :

$b^{2}$ = $6^{2}$ + $a^{2}$

Pythagoras' theorem for the biggest one :

$(4+a)^2 = c^2 + b^2$

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + b^2$

Using the formula before (for $b^2$ ) it becomes :

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + (6^2 + a^2)$

$16 + 8a + a^2 = 52 + 6^2 + a^2$

$16 + 8a = 52 + 6^2$

16 + 8a = 52 + 36

16+8a = 88

8a = 88-16

8a = 72

$a = \frac{72}{8}$

a = 9

Verifying :

$b^2 = 6^2 + a^2$

$b^2 = 36 + 81$

$b^2 = 117$

$b^{2}$ = 117

The biggest one :

$(4+a)^2 = c^2 + b^2$

$(4+9)^2 = 52 + 117$

$13^2 = 169$

A basketball player made 80 out of 100 attempted free throws. What percent of free throws was made?

Mrac [35]

Percent of free throws = (number of free throws made / total attempts) x 100

Percent = (80/100) x 100 = 80%

The answer is 80%

Solve 25+10*(12-x)=5*(2x-7)

lions [1.4K]

Simplifying 25 + 10(12 + -1x) = 5(2x + -7)
25 + (12 * 10 + -1x * 10) = 5(2x + -7)
25 + (120 + -10x) = 5(2x + -7)

Combine like terms: 25 + 120 = 145 145 + -10x = 5(2x + -7)

Reorder the terms:
145 + -10x = 5(-7 + 2x)
145 + -10x = (-7 * 5 + 2x * 5)
145 + -10x = (-35 + 10x)
Solving 145 + -10x = -35 + 10x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-10x' to each side of the equation.
145 + -10x + -10x = -35 + 10x + -10x
Combine like terms: -10x + -10x = -20x 145 + -20x = -35 + 10x + -10x

Combine like terms: 10x + -10x = 0 145 + -20x = -35 + 0 145 + -20x = -35
Add '-145' to each side of the equation. 145 + -145 + -20x = -35 + -145

Combine like terms: 145 + -145 = 0 0 + -20x = -35 + -145 -20x = -35 + -145

Combine like terms: -35 + -145 = -180 -20x = -180
Divide each side by '-20'.
x = 9
Simplifying x = 9.

Answer:

Quantity (lbs) of type 1 candy x = 8

Quantity (lbs) of type 2 candy y = 17,5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let´s call "x" quantity (in pounds) of candy type 1 in the mixture, and "y" quantity (in pounds ) of candy type 2, then according to the problem statement.

x + y = 25,5

2,20*x + 7,30*y = 5,70 * 25,5 ⇒ 2,20*x + 7,30*y = 145,35

Then we have a two equation system

x + y = 25,5 ⇒ y = 25,5 - x

2,20*x + 7,30*y = 145,35 ⇒ 2,20*x + 7,30* (25,5 - x ) = 145,35

2,20*x + 186,15 - 7,30*x = 145,35

5,1*x = 40,8

x = 40,8/5,1

x = 8 lbs

And y = 25,5 - 8

y = 17,5 lbs
