$2 \times - 5x = - 10x$
$2 \times 7 = 14$
$- 10x + 14 = - 6$
$- 14$
$- 10x = - 20$
$x = 2$

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (-5x + 7) = -6 (original problem)

-10x + 14 = -6 (distributive property)

-14 -14 (inverse operation

-10x = -20 (addition)

-1/10 x -10x = -20 x -1/10 (inverse operation)

x = -20/-10 (multiply)

x = 2 (simplify)

Frank has a jar filled with 200 old dimes. Suppose he selects a dime from the jar without looking. There is a 20% chance that he

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jar contains 200 old dimes

Chances to pick the 1960s is 20% i.e. 1960s is 20% of 200 old dimes

So, we can write

$\Rightarrow \text{No of 1960s is }=20\%\ \text{of}\ 200=0.2\times 200\\\Rightarrow \text{No of 1960s is }=40$

Area of a triangle with points at (-9,5), (6,10), and (2,-10)

Ann [662]

First we are going to draw the triangle using the given coordinates.
Next, we are going to use the distance formula to find the sides of our triangle.
Distance formula: $d= \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

Distance from point A to point B:
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{[6-(-9)]^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(6+9)^2+(10-5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{(15)^2+(5)^2}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{225+25}$
$d_{AB}= \sqrt{250}$
$d_{AB}=15.81$

Distance from point A to point C:
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{[2-(-9)]^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{(2+9)^2+(-10-5)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{11^2+(-15)^2}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{121+225}$
$d_{AC}= \sqrt{346}$
$d_{AC}= 18.60$

Distance from point B from point C
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(-10-10)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{(-4)^2+(-20)^2}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{16+400}$
$d_{BC}= \sqrt{416}$
$d_{BC}=20.40$

Now, we are going to find the semi-perimeter of our triangle using the semi-perimeter formula:
$s= \frac{AB+AC+BC}{2}$
$s= \frac{15.81+18.60+20.40}{2}$
$s= \frac{54.81}{2}$
$s=27.41$

Finally, to find the area of our triangle, we are going to use Heron's formula:
$A= \sqrt{s(s-AB)(s-AC)(s-BC)}$
$A=\sqrt{27.41(27.41-15.81)(27.41-18.60)(27.41-20.40)}$
$A= \sqrt{27.41(11.6)(8.81)(7.01)}$
$A=140.13$

We can conclude that the perimeter of our triangle is 140.13 square units.
