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

In bioligy class cher is viewing cells with a microscope. cell h measures 8.76x10^-3 microns in diameter and cell v measures 2.1

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Larger cell 400 times bigger cell than the smaller cell

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

diameter of the cell h = $8.76\times10^{-3}$

diameter of the cell v = $2.19 \times10^{-5}$

To Find:

How many tines larger is the bigger cell than the smaller cell?

Solution:

The cell h with diameter $8.76\times 10^{-3}$ is larger and the cell v with diameter $2.19 \times 10^{-5}$ is small. To find the number of times it is larger, we can divide the larger cell diameter by smaller cell diameter

=> $\frac{8.76\times 10^{-3}}{2.19 \times 10^{-5}}$

=> $\frac{8.76\times 10^ {-3} \times 10^{5}}{2.19 }$

=> $\frac{8.76\times 10^ {(-3+5)}}{2.19 }$

=> $\frac{8.76\times 10^2}{2.19 }$

=> $\frac{876}{2.19}$

=> 400

Larger cell is the bigger cell than the smaller cell by 400 times

Answer:

2500 pence (C = 2500)

Step-by-step explanation:

$C = 10t + 20m$

From the given information, t is the number of texts so essentially you will plug in the number of texts provided (150) in the place of the variable t.

$C = 10(150) + 20m$

Apply the same thing to minutes, plug in the number of minutes (50) in the place of the variable m.

$C = 10(150) + 20(50)$

Now multiply the substitutes with the co-efficient.

$C = 1500 + 1000$ (10*150=1500 & 20*50=1000)

Add the addends

C = 2500
