So you have the equation (2x+4)/-3=12
Multiply by -3 on each side.
2x+4=-36
2x=-20
x=-10
Hope this helps.

(-5, 12). Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine. Since csc theta =13/12, sin theta=12/13. We can narrow down to two angles, one in first quadrant and one in second quadrant. We are also given sec theta=-13/5, so cos theta=-5/13. Thus the angle is in the second quadrant. tan theta=1/cot theta=-12/5, so point (-5, 12) is on the ray.

You have 8 times as many dimes as nickels. You have 18 dimes

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

$1.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of nickels be $x$ .

Thus, by the problem statement, the number of dimes is [/tex] 8 \cdot x = 8x. [/tex]

Therefore, there are $8x + x = 9$ coins in total. To find what $x$ is, we need to solve the equation $9x = 18.$ This can be done by dividing both sides by $9$ which gives $x=2$ . Plugging these values in tells us that there are $2$ nickels and $16$ dimes. (Test it out!) Thus, the nickels are worth $2 \cdot 5 = 10$ cents and the dimes are worth $16 \cdot 10 = 160$ cents, so in all, you have $10 + 160 = 170$ cents which is $1.70.
