Mathematics

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}

Answer:

T = ±22

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

0=−16t2+7744

Step 1: Add 16t^2 to both sides.

0+16t2=−16t2+7744+16t2

16t2=7744

Step 2: Divide both sides by 16.

16t2

16

=

7744

16

t2=484

Step 3: Take square root.

t=±√484

t=22 or t=−22

If c(x) = 4x – 2 and d(x) = x^2+ 5x, what is (c circle d) (x)?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

4x² + 20x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate (c ○ d)(x), substitute x = d(x) into c(x)

c(x² + 5x)

= 4(x² + 5x) - 2

= 4x² + 20x - 2

the peach festival charges $5 for admission then$1.25 per pound of peaches picked. If Savanna went to the festival and picked 2.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

I'm glad you asked!

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's do it step by step.

Already she has to pay $5 for going in.

She has 2 whole pounds.

1.25 x 2=2.5 or 2 \frac{1}{2}

Add $5 and $ 2.5 .

5+2.5 = 7.5

Now let's do $1.25 divided by 10.

$$1.25 divided by $10 =0.125

Now let's do 0.125 times 4

0.125 x 4 = 0.5

Now let's add 7.5 to 0.5

7.5+0.5=8
