Answer: x - 2 + 5 = x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

At first I was confused. Then I read the question again and translated it.

Less than translated means - 2.

A number, aka X.

and means plus(+).

when you put that together you get,

x - 2 + 5.

The next step is to translate to second part of the equation.

Is means equals(=).

So far we have: X - 2 + 5 = 12.

<em>This is where I got confused...</em>

After solving that peice, we have the words; " 12 less than the number it's self. I wasn't sure if 2 x's could be in the same equation. Now I know they can.

Above, we established that 'a number' is x.

Now, it's talking about that number again because it says; "The number itself." At first, I thought it was talking about 12 - 12! Then I realized that it's not.

The new equation, after understanding that in the second piece isn't 12 - 12, would be none other than,

x - 2 + 5 = 12 - x

I hope this helps!!

What is the value of x to the nearst degree

zysi [14]

Answer:

D. 65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I found the hypotenuse. Using the pythagorean theorum, you would get ≈14.3 as the length of the hypotenuse.

Then, you want to find either the sine, cosine, or tangent of x.

sin(x) = .9091 -- opposite/hypotenuse (13/14.3)

cos(x) = .4196 -- adjacent/hypotenuse (6/14.3)

tan(x) = 2.1667 -- opposite over adjacent (13/6)

Then, choose any one of those (I chose sine) and do its inverse on your calculator.

sin^-1(.9091) = 65.38127....

Rounded to its nearest degree would be 65 degrees.

It seems like a long process but honestly, it's just calculator work. If you have a TI-84, you would press the 2nd button then SIN, COS, or TAN to get the inverse. Don't forget to make sure your calculator is in degree mode!

The length of a rectangle is 6 feet more than twice the width. If the perimeter is 54 feet, find the width of the rectangle.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The width is 21

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would do 6 x 2 to get 12
subtract 12 from 54 to get 42
then you would divide 42 by 2 to get 21 which is the width.

The produce manger receives 5 containers of green beans, each weighing 7 pounds. She divides the total amount of green beans int

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The weight of the beans in each portion is 11.66 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of containers received = 5

Weight of each container = 7 pounds

So, The total weight of beans received

= Number of containers x Weight of each container

= 7 x 5 = 35 pounds

Now, dividing 35 pounds in to three equal proportion, we get

⇒ 35 / 3 = 11.66 pounds

Hence, the weight of the beans in each portion is 11.66 pounds.
