Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If P is the midpoint of XY, then XP = PY:</u>

8x - 2 = 12x - 30
12x -8x = 30 -2
4x = 28
x= 28/4
x= 7

The sum of five times a number and -6 is -2

koban [17]

So,

"The sum of five times a number and -6"
5n + -6 or 5n - 6

"is -2"
= -2

5n - 6 = -2

Add 6 to both sides.
5n = 4

Divide both sides by 5.
$n = \frac{4}{5} \ or\ 0.8\ or\ 80\ percent$

First, subtract to get the difference.
2.85 – 2.78 = 0.07

Next, divide 2.78 by 100
2.78 ÷ 100 = 0.0278
So, 0.0278 is 1%. Divide 0.07 by 0.0278 to get the answer.
0.07 ÷ 0.0278 ≈ 2.518
2.518 ≈2.5
Therefore, the percentage increase is approximately 2.5% (that's the answer).

Hope this helps!

Math question help me

Answer:

3 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

on the left side there is 3 circles and every circle is 3 grams, so there is 9 grams plus 6 squares for 2 grams its 12 . 9+12 =21 and two triangles with x mass

on the right side there is 2 circles , 2×3 = 6, and 3 squares, 3×2 = 6. 6+6=12 +5x

both sides are equal so we have

21+2x=12+5x

21-12=5x-2x

9=3x

x=3
