Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. First, subtract 5x and add 4 to both sides.

11x (-5x) - 4 (+4) = 5x (-5x) + 20 (+ 4)

11x - 5x = 20 + 4

Combine like terms. Simplify:

(11x - 5x) = (20 + 4)

6x = 24

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 6 from both sides.

(6x)/6 = (24)/6

x = 24/6

x = 4

x = 4 is your answer.

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions for..<br> y = 2x^2 - 9x + 5.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: $x=\frac{9}{4}-\frac{\sqrt{41} }{4} \\x=\frac{9}{4}+\frac{\sqrt{41} }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^2-9x+5$

a=2

b=-9

c=5

$x=\frac{-b\frac{+}{}\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

$x=\frac{-(-9)\frac{+}{}\sqrt{(-9)^2-4(2)(5)} }{2(2)}$

$x=\frac{9\frac{+}{}\sqrt{81-40} }{4}$

$x=\frac{9\frac{+}{}\sqrt{41} }{4}$

$x=\frac{9}{4}-\frac{\sqrt{41} }{4} \\x=\frac{9}{4}+\frac{\sqrt{41} }{4}$

If you draw a net for a cylinder, such as a soup can, how many two-dimensional geometric shapes would this net have?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

If you were to “unroll” a can of soup, you would end up with two circles and one rectangle.

Thats why when you are finding the surface area of a cylinder, you need to multiply the area of the circle by 2. And also you need to find the area of the rectangle. Then you add the areas all up.

please mark me brainlies :)
