Answer:

I do not know if that x is a multiply sign or a variable so I'm going to answer both

If the x is a multiplication sign then the answer is -20 = -9

If the x is a variable then the answer is x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(5 * -8) = -9

(1 * 5 * -8)/2 = -9

(5 * -8)/2 = -9

-40/2 = -9

-20 = -9

-20 ≠ -9

1/2(5x - 8) = -9

1(5x -8)/2 = -9

(5x - 8)/2 = -9

2((5x - 8)/2) = -9 * 2

2(5x - 8)/2 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -9 * 2

5x - 8 = -18

+8 +8

------------------

5x = -10

x = -10/5

x = -2

Scale on a map is 1:800000. motorway is 120 km long . what distance will it be on the map

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Multiply the number of inches on the map times the scale to determine the true distance. For example, if the distance on the map was 5.5 inches and the scale was 1:6,336,000, the true distance would be 550 miles. To convert an area, convert the dimensions using the scale and then find the true area.

Answer:

LQ = 5

Median = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{n+1}{2}$ gives us 5.5, so we do the average of position 5 and 6. This gives us 6, so the median is 6.

Now we find the median of the bottom half of the numbers, which is 5, so the LQ is 5.

Now we find the median of the upper half of the numbers, which is 7, so the UQ is 7.
