On a number line what is the distance between -12 and 20 ??
KIM [24]

Answer:  Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer this question you will need to find 2 distances and then add them to each other.

Begin at -29.  How far will you have to move to the right 29 in order to get to 0?

Now how far will you have to more to get from 0 to 100?

Draw an open number line to help you.

_____________________________________________________

-29                                           0                                                   100

Your first distance is 29.  Your second distance is 100.  The total distance is 129.

Find the perimeter of the polygon. Assume that lines which appear to be tangent are tangent. Round to the nearest tenth if neces
kherson [118]

Answer:

P=53.6\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>Two-Tangent Theore</em></u>m states that if two tangent segments are drawn to one circle from the same external point, then they are congruent

so

Applying the Two-Tangent Theorem at each vertex of the triangle

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to

P=2(7.8)+2(8)+2(11)=53.6\ units

7n+2 = 4n+17 solve the equation
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for n:

n + 2 = 4 n + 17

Hint: | Move terms with n to the left hand side.

Subtract 4 n from both sides:

(n - 4 n) + 2 = (4 n - 4 n) + 17

Hint: | Combine like terms in n - 4 n.

n - 4 n = -3 n:

-3 n + 2 = (4 n - 4 n) + 17

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

4 n - 4 n = 0:

2 - 3 n = 17

Hint: | Isolate terms with n to the left hand side.

Subtract 2 from both sides:

(2 - 2) - 3 n = 17 - 2

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

2 - 2 = 0:

-3 n = 17 - 2

Hint: | Evaluate 17 - 2.

17 - 2 = 15:

-3 n = 15

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of -3 n = 15 by -3:

(-3 n)/(-3) = 15/(-3)

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

(-3)/(-3) = 1:

n = 15/(-3)

Hint: | Reduce 15/(-3) to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of 15 and -3.

The gcd of 15 and -3 is 3, so 15/(-3) = (3×5)/(3 (-1)) = 3/3×5/(-1) = 5/(-1):

n = 5/(-1)

Hint: | Simplify the sign of 5/(-1).

Multiply numerator and denominator of 5/(-1) by -1:

Answer: n = -5

it have 3 sides but in the formula we have 4 sides which is (A b sides) (B base sides ) (C base side ) and (height) HEEELLLLPPPP
Vikki [24]

Answer:

225 m³ or 225 cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually it has 5 sides, the 2 bases, the 3 lateral faces.

The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is: \frac{h*b*l}{2}

Using the given measurements, we get:

\frac{9*5*10}{2} =\\\\\frac{450}{2} =\\\\225

The volume of the prism is 225 m³

Equation at the end of step 1 :

2 1
((—•x)-7)+((—•x)+5)
3 3
Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

5 5 • 3
5 = — = —————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

x + 5 • 3 x + 15
————————— = ——————
3 3
Equation at the end of step 2 :

2 (x + 15)
((— • x) - 7) + ————————

Step 4 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

7 7 • 3
7 = — = —————
1 3
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions

2x - (7 • 3) 2x - 21

Step 5 :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(2x-21) + (x+15) 3x - 6
———————————————— = ——————
3 3
Step 6 :

Pulling out like terms :

6.1 Pull out like factors :

3x - 6 = 3 • (x - 2)

Final result :

x - 2
