Mathematics
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
5 0

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

g100num [7]
If state has 1627260 people and 1490 square miles, then we divide the number of people by the area and we get the density per square mile.

1627260 / 1490 = 1092,120805369128

After rounding it to the nearest whole number we get 1092.

The answer: In such a state 1092 people live in a square mile.
