Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

(-10) - (-4)

-10 +4 (because negative multiply by negative is positive)

(5x-25)+(3x+9)=180 please answer right now

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$x=24.5\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$(5x-25)+(3x+9)+180$

Combine like terms:

$(5x+3x)+(-25+9)=180$

Add:

$8x-16=180$

Add 16 to both sides:

$8x=196$

Divide both sides by 8:

$x=24.5\\$

So, our answer is 24.5 :)

Find the coordinates for the midpoint of the segment with endpoints given. (5,6) and (8,2)

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{8+5}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{2+6}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{13}{2}~,~\cfrac{8}{2} \right)\implies \left(6\frac{1}{2}~,~4 \right)$

(2/3)^x-1=27/8, Find x. Please, a step-by-step explanation.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/3)^x-1=27/8

Rewriting the right hand side

(2/3)^x-1=(3/2)^3

We know that a^-b = 1/a^b Hint: { 1/(3/2) = 2/3}

(2/3)^x-1=(2/3) ^-3

The bases are the same, so the exponents are the same

x-1 = -3

x -1+1 = -3+1

x = -2
