3x - 17 = 9x + 7

Rearrange on same sides
-17 - 7 = 9x - 3x
-24 = 6x

Divide by 6 on either sides to isolate 6
-\frac{24}{6} = \frac{6x}{6}
6 and 6 cancels out
-4 = x

Answer is:
B. x = -4

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

<h3>A (-4,3)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

THe formula for calculating midpoint is expressed as;

M(X, Y) = {(x1+x2/2), y1+y2/2}

Given

Midpoint = (2, 5)

K = (8, 7)

Required

Coordinate of M

X = x1+x2/2

2 = 8+x2/2

4 = 8+x2

x2 = 4-8

x2 = -4

Similarly;

Y = y1+y2/2

5 = 7+y2/2

10 = 7+y2

y2 = 10-7

y2 = 3

Hence the coordidates of M is at (-4,3)

You and your friend play a game. You answer 80% of the questions correctly and your friend answers 0.60 of the questions correct
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both players can answer the same question, the minimum number of questions is the smallest number that when multiplied by either 0.60 or 0.80 yields a whole number.

Let x be the number of questions, solving by trial and error:

if\ x=2\\x*0.8=1.6\\x*0.6=1.2\\\\if\ x=3\\x*0.8=2.4\\x*0.6=1.8\\\\if\ x=4\\x*0.8=3.2\\x*0.6=2.4\\\\if\ x=5\\x*0.8=4\\x*0.6=3\\\\

Therefore, the minimum number of questions in the game is 5.

anygoal [31]
The volume of the right rectangular prism is the product of all its dimensions, length, width and height. Since all these dimensions are given, therefore, we can directly calculate the volume of the right rectangular prism by substitution to the formula.

V = L*W*H
V = (2.5 ft)(3 ft)(1.5 ft)
<em>V = 3.375 ft³ or 3 and 3/8 ft³</em>
