Answer:

z = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

z + (z + -6) + -2 = -10

Reorder the terms:

z + (-6 + z) + -2 = -10

Remove parenthesis around (-6 + z)

z + -6 + z + -2 = -10

Reorder the terms:

-6 + -2 + z + z = -10

Combine like terms: -6 + -2 = -8

-8 + z + z = -10

Combine like terms: z + z = 2z

-8 + 2z = -10

Solving

-8 + 2z = -10

Solving for variable 'z'.

Move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 2z = -10 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 2z = -10 + 8

2z = -10 + 8

Combine like terms: -10 + 8 = -2

2z = -2

Divide each side by '2'.

z = -1

Matt is cutting quilt squares measuring 3 inches on each side. He wants to use them to make a rectangular wall hanging measuring

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Matt will need 10176 square quilts to cover the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this perfectly, we will have to first convert everything to the same unit.

dimensions of the quilt squares = 3 inches

Length of the wall = 1 yard = 36 inches

Breadth of the wall = 212 feet = 2544 inches.

The next step, is to find the area of the wall that Matt is covering.

Area of wall = length X breadth = 36 X 2544 = $91584in ^{2}$

We will also find the area of the square quilts. This is given as length X length = $3^{2}$ = $9 in^{2}$

to get the number of square quilts that will cover that area, we will have to divide the area of the wall by the area of the quilts

= 91584 /9 = 10176 quilts

Matt will need 10176 quilts to cover the wall

What is the perimeter of a triangle with side lengths of 9, 12, and 4x?

ludmilkaskok [199]

The answer is 21 + 4x.

You find this answer by adding up all the sides.
9+12+4x= 21+4x ... you don't add 4x because it has a variable that we do not know of the value.

1.6x=1.28<br> help me solve this

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sure! So, we need to divide by 1.6 on each side to isolate the x.

1.6x / 1.6 is just x. We need to divide by the same on the other side too!

1.28 / 1.6 is 0.8.

So x = 0.8
