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}

In your own words, explain why C=2πr, where C is the circumference of a circle of radius r. Include a description of the number
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Pi—which is written as the Greek letter for p, or π—is the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle. Regardless of the circle's size, this ratio will always equal pi(3.1415).

There are two radii in one diameter. The formula for circumference is pi*d when using diameter which explains the two in front of the formula given by your teacher.

Solve the equation x - 4 = 6 HELLPL
Arada [10]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

x - 4 (+4) = 6 (+4)

x = 6 + 4

x = 10

x = 10 is your answer.
