Is -5 a solution to the equation for 6x + 5 = 5x + 8 + 2x? Explain?

Mathematics

grigory [225]3 years ago

For this case we have the following equation:

6x + 5 = 5x + 8 + 2x

We must find the solution.

We add similar terms from the right side of the equation:

6x + 5 = 7x + 8

We subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

6x = 7x + 8-5\\6x = 7x + 3

We subtract 7x on both sides of the equation:

6x-7x = 3

Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

-x = 3

We multiply by -1 on both sides of the equation:x = -3

Thus, the solution of the equation is x = -3. -5 is not a solution to the equation.

Answer:

x = -3. -5 is not a solution to the equation

A circle has a diameter of 26 units. What is the area of the circle to the nearest hundredth of a square unit
Hitman42 [59]
To find the area of the circle, you will use the formula for finding area of any circle.

The radius is half the diameter.

A = pi x r^2
3.14 x 13^2
A = 530.66 square units

The area is 530.66 square units.

Sue has 20 biscuits in a tin There are 12 plain biscuits 5 chocolate biscuits 3 currant biscuits Sue takes at 2 random biscuits
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

111 / 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Total biscuits = 20

Plain, P = 12

Chocolate, C = 5

Currant, K = 3

Assume without replacement :

Probability that biscuit are of the same type :

P(plain) :

12 / 20 * 11 / 19 = 132 / 380

P(chocolate) :

5/ 20 * 4 / 19 = 20/ 380

P(currant) :

3/20 * 2 /19 = 6 / 380

Therefore,

Probability that biscuit is of the same type :

P(plain) + P(chocolate) + P(currant)

132/380 + 20/380 + 6/380

158 / 380 = 79 / 190

Therefore, probability that biscuit aren't of the same type :

1 - P(biscuit is of same type)

1 - 79/190

(190 - 79) / 190

111 / 190

The circumference of a circle is 11π inches. What is the area, in square inches, of the circle? Express your answer in terms of
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

30.25 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by

C = 2 * pi *r

11 pi = 2 * pi *r

divide each side by 2 pi

11/2 = 2 ( pi) * r/ ( 2pi)

11/2 = r

We can find the area by

A =  pi * r^2

   =  pi ( 11/2) ^2

   =  pi ( 121/4)

   = pi ( 121/4)

   = 30.25 pi
