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'.

Nancy is allowed to make 200 copies a month on the departmental copy machine. A test for one class requires 26 copies of two pag

alekssr [168]

She would have 106 copies left.I think this because since she has to make 47 copies and since they are double sided you would have to multiply be 2.Which would give you 94 and then you subtract 94 from 200.It would give you 106 in the end.

How do you find the quadratic function with vertex (-2,5) and point (0,9)?

Anastaziya [24]

Answer: y = (x +2)² + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(x - h)² + k where "a" is the leading coefficient and (h, k) is the vertex

Since we don't know "a", we need to plug in the point (x, y) and the vertex (h, k) to solve for "a": (x, y) = (0, 9) and (h, k) = (-2, 5)

y = a(x - h)² + k

9 = a(0 - (-2))² + 5

9 = a(0 + 2)² + 5

9 = a(2)² + 5

-5 -5

4 = a(4)

÷4 ÷4

1 = a

Next, plug in "a" and the vertex (h, k):

y = a(x - h)² + k

y = 1(x +2)² + 5

y = (x +2)² + 5

G=x-c/x. for x how do yoy make this an equation for x? help

zzz [600]

1.
$\displaystyle \text{if }\quad G=x- \frac{C}{x} \\\\$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$\displaystyle Gx=x\bigg(x- \frac{C}{x}\bigg )\\\\Gx=x^2-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:
$Gx-Gx=x^2-C-Gx\\x^2-Gx-C=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x^2-Gx-C=0\\\\x_{1,2}= \frac{G\pm \sqrt{G^2+4C} }{2}$

2.
$\displaystyle\text{if}\quad G= \frac{x-C}{x}$

$x \neq 0$

Multiply both sides by x:

$Gx=x-C$

Subtract from both sides Gx:

$x-C-Gx=0$

Then solve this equation:

$\displaystyle x-Gx-C=0\\x(1-G)=C\\x= \frac{C}{1-G}$

1. Girl Scout Troop 321 started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. Gabby

Oksanka [162]

Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are informed that the Girl Scout Troop started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. The percentage change will be:

= (31 - 25) / 25 × 100

= 6/25 × 100

= 24%

The error that Gabby made was that she used 31 as the base. This is expressed below:

= 31 - 25) / 31 × 100

= 6/31 × 100

= 19.4%
