Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5(-2x -10) = 25(x + 1)

-10x - 50 = 25x + 25

by transposing

-10x - 25x = 25 + 50

-35x = 75

x = -75/35

<u><em>x = 15/7</em></u>

or 2.142857..... in decimal

Hope this helps

Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180. Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. What amount. in dollars, will Cedric recei
babymother [125]

Answer:

Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Abel's share = A

Let Cedric's share = C

we are given the following

A + C = 180  - - - - - (1)   (Abel and Cedric will share a total of $180)

A = \frac{C}{2}\ - - - - - - - (2) (Abel will receive half as much as Cedric. )

from equation 2:

A = \frac{C}{2}\\ C = 2A\ - - - - - - (3)

putting this value of C in eqn (3) into eqn (1)

A + (2A) = 180

3A = 180

∴ A = 180 ÷ 3 = 60

to find C, let us replace the value of A in eqn (3) with 60

C = 2A - - - - (3)

C = 2 × 60

C = 120

Therefore, Abel receives $60, and Cedric receives $120

I don’t understand how to factor trinomials
gayaneshka [121]
When the X term is one, and doesn't have a leading coefficient, then you can factor it using the box and diamond method. look up videos on Khan Academy of the box and diamond method for solving trinomials. For number 9, you have a difference of squares. That means you can factor to just 2 terms. (x+4)(x-4) this works because 16 has an easy square root, and the sign in between is a negative(difference)
