2/3(x-9)= -11 What is the answer for X

Mathematics
2 answers:
Yanka [14]4 years ago

Answer:

X= -7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolate the variable.

The first step would be to distribute the 2/3 to the x and -9 and you get 2/3 x -6 = -11. Then you add 6 to both sides, equaling to 2/3x = -5. The second to last step would be multiplying both sides by 3 canceling out the fraction on the left ; the equation would be 2x = -15. The final step is to divide both sides by the variable (2x) and therefore x equals -15/2 or -7.5 .

Answer:

x = -  \frac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3}(x - 9) = - 11

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2(x - 9) = - 33 ← distribute left side

2x - 18 = - 33 ( add 18 to both sides )

2x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - \frac{15}{2}

Laurissa rolls two number cubes, each with the numbers 1 through 6. Laurissa adds the numbers that appear in the roll. Which two
defon

Answer:

Let's analyze the possible sums of both dices, i will use the notation:

Dice1 + Dice 2 = sum.

also remember that we have 2 dices, with 6 options each.

So the total number of combinations is 6*6 = 36

we have 36 possible outcomes.

I will start at the extremes, the minimum that we can sum is 2, and the maximum is 12, then:

We can have 2 if:

1 + 1 = 2

only one permutation.

and 12 if:

6 + 6 = 12

Again, only one permutation.

so 2 and 12 have the same chance (1 out of 36)

now, to have 3 we can have:

2 + 1 = 3

or

1 + 2 = 3.

and to have 11

5 + 6 = 11

6 + 5 = 11

Again, 3 and 11 have the same probability (2 out of 36 options)

And now we can see a pattern.

4 and 10 will have the same chance.

5 and 9 will have the same chance

6 and 8 will have the same chance

7 is the only number that has an unique chance (and it has the largest one)

If the sales tax in Alabama is 4 percent and a $20.00 purchase is made. What is the sales price? What is the total purchase pric
mihalych1998 [28]
Hello there! So first off, let's find the tax. In order to find the tax of an item, all you have to do is multiply the price by the percentage, because the tax is the portion of the price. The tax is 4%. Let's solve. 20 * 4% (0.04) is 0.8. The tax is $0.80. Let's add that to the purchase price. 20 + 0.80 is 20.80. That's the total purchase price. Here are the answers easier to read.

Sales tax: $0.80
Total price: $20.80
