Answer: x=-17

Step-by-step explanation:

We first distribute the -12 across to the (x+5)

144=-12(x+5)

144=-12x-60

Then, we add 60 to both sides.

204 = -12x

Lastly, we divide the equation by -12.

204/-12 = -12x/-12

-17 = x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

114=-12(x+5)

Use the Distributive Property of Multiplication (distribute the -12 to the x and 5).

144=-12x-60

Add 60 to both sides of the equal sign to get -12x by itself.

144+60=-12x-60+60

204=-12x

Divide both sides of the equal sign to isolate the variable.

204/-12=-12x/-12

-17=x (<<<Answer)

Answer:

160 Points in 5 Games

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information will be used as the first ratio. 288 points / 9 games. To find out how many points this player would score in 5 games, we use another ratio with the unknown value, x. This would be x points / 5 games. Put the ratios equal to each other and cross multiply. You will get a final answer of 160.

<h2><u>N-FACTORIAL!</u></h2>

<h3> $\mathbb{ \color{brown} \: PROBLEM } \: \: \bold{{ \color{brown}{1}}} :$ </h3>

$\mathcal{SOLUTION: }$

$\: \bold{ \red{6!}= 6×5×4×3×2×1= \boxed{ \bold{ \blue{720}}}}$

Therefore, <u>the value of 6! is 720</u>.

<h3> $\mathbb{ \color{brown} \: PROBLEM } \: \: \bold{{ \color{brown}{2}}} :$ </h3>

$\mathcal{SOLUTION: }$

$\bold{3! \cdot 2! }\implies \bold{(3×2×1) \cdot( 2×1 )}$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \implies \: \bold{ 6 \times 2} = \boxed{ \bold{ \blue{12}}}$

Therefore, <u>the value of the given expression is 12.</u>

Answer:

x = 82°

y = 59°

z = 39°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠x = 1/2(134° + 30°) = 82°

∠z = 180° - 59° - 82° = 39°

arc DF = 2(39°) = 78°

arc DB + arc DF = 134° + 78° = 212°

draw a diameter down from point B to the opposite side of the circle, call that point P:

arc BDP = 180°

(arc BDF) 212° - 180° = 32° (arc PF)

∠PBG = 1/2(32°) = 16°

∠DEB = 1/2(134°) = 67°

∠DBE = 180° - 59° - 67° = 54°

(∠DBE) 54° - (∠z) 39° + (∠PBG) 16° = (∠PBE) 31°

y = 90°- 31° = 59°
