Answer: X = -7/2

Step-by-step explanation: 1. Write out your equation you wanna solve

9X - 2 = 11X + 5

2. Subtract -9X on both sides

9X (-9X) -2 = 11X (-9X) + 5 = -2 = 2X + 5.

3. Subtract -5 off of both sides

-2 (-5) = 2X + 5 (-5) = -7 = 2X (<-- Make your -2 a +2)

4. Divide -7 = 2X by 2!!!

-7/2 = 2X/2

5. Write your answer

X = -7/2

Good luck and I hope this helps you out!! Byeee!

What is the area of a cross section that is parallel to face CDHG ?

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: Area of cross section that is parallel to face CDHG is 432 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There is a cross section that is parallel to face CDHG.

So, Length of cross section would be 36 cm

Width of cross section would be 12 cm.

So, Area of cross section would be

$Length\times breadth\\\\=36\times 12\\\\=432\ cm^2$

Hence, Area of cross section that is parallel to face CDHG is 432 cm².

Laura has 160 pounds of green beans at her vegetable stand. If she sells 10 pounds of green beans every hour, what is the percen

Mademuasel [1]

Given:

Laura has 160 pounds of green beans at her vegetable stand.

She sells 10 pounds of green beans every hour.

To find:

The percent decrease in green beans after 3 hours.

Solution:

We have,

Beans sold in 1 hour = 10 pounds

So, Beans sold in 3 hours = 30 pounds

Decrease in green beans after 3 hours is 30 pounds.

Now,

$\%\text{Decrease}=\dfrac{\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours }}{\text{Initial amount of green beans}}\times 100$

$\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=\dfrac{30}{160}\times 100$

$\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=\dfrac{300}{16}$

$\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=18.75\%$

Therefore, the correct option is A.
