Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

12 = 24 - 4 (-6 x - 3)

-4 (-6 x - 3) = 24 x + 12:

12 = 24 x + 12 + 24

Grouping like terms, 24 x + 12 + 24 = 24 x + (12 + 24):

12 = 24 x + (12 + 24)

12 + 24 = 36:

12 = 24 x + 36

12 = 24 x + 36 is equivalent to 24 x + 36 = 12:

24 x + 36 = 12

Subtract 36 from both sides:

24 x + (36 - 36) = 12 - 36

36 - 36 = 0:

24 x = 12 - 36

12 - 36 = -24:

24 x = -24

Divide both sides of 24 x = -24 by 24:

(24 x)/24 = (-24)/24

24/24 = 1:

x = (-24)/24

The gcd of -24 and 24 is 24, so (-24)/24 = (24 (-1))/(24×1) = 24/24×-1 = -1:

Answer: x = -1

Multiply (2.5x10^-10) (7x10^-6)

serious [3.7K]

We want to multiply $2.5\cdot10^{-10}$ by $7\cdot10^{-6}$ .

The numbers are written in scientific notation. So we expect the answer also to be in scientific notation.

the multiplication of the 10's, using the exponents rule is :

$10^{-10}\cdot 10^{-6}=10^{-10+(-6)}=10^{-10-6}=10^{-16}$

the multiplication of the other 2 numbers is:

$2.5\cdot7=17.5=1.75\cdot10$

(we write the number so that it has only one digit to the left of the decimal point).

Thus,

$(2.5\cdot10^{-10})\cdot(7\cdot10^{-6})=1.75\cdot10\cdot10^{-16}=1.75\cdot10^{-15}$

Answer: $1.75\cdot10^{-15}$

Two sets of data have the same measures of central tendency. Are the data sets the same? Explain

lys-0071 [83]

<u>Answer:</u>

The data sets can be same.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

If there are two sets of data having the same measures of central tendency, then there is a possibility that the data sets the same

The two data sets could be the same but its not necessary. It is possible for data sets to be different in term of their spread but still have the same measures of center.

The measures of spread for the two data sets could be different.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular pentagon has 5 sides of equal length.

Length of one side = total perimeter ÷ number of sides

= 60 ÷ 5 = 12

Therefore, the length of each side of the window is 12 in

Find the slope of the line that contains the points (6, 5) and (8,7)

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for slope is

y¹-y²

-----

x¹-x²

y¹ and x¹ can be either of the points.

So let's make it (6,5)

This means that y² and x² will be (8,7)

The equation will be

5-7d -2

----- = ---

6-8 -2

which can be simplified to 1 by divied both by -2
