Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out expression

5(x + 13) = 20

Step 2: Distribute

5x + 65 = 20

Step 3: Isolate x

5x = -45

x = -9

And we have our answer!

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

5(x+13) = 20

Expand.

5x+65 = 20

Subtract 26 on both sides.

5x = 20 - 65

5x = -45

Divide 5 into both sides.

x = -45/5

x = -9

The number is -9.

One question simple please help

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x - 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

Given line y = - 3x + 78, slope, m₁ = -3

To find the line perpendicular to the given line.

The lines are perpendicular to each other if the product of their slopes = - 1

That is,

$m_1 \times m_2 = -1$

So the slope of new line is

$-3 \times m_2 = -1\\\\m_2 = \frac{-1}{-3} = \frac{1}{3}$

$Therefore , equation \ of \ new \ line \ \\\\(y - y_1) = m_2(x - x_1) , where \ (x_1 , y_1) = (9, -6 )\\\\(y - (-6))= \frac{1}{3}(x -9)\\\\y + 6 = \frac{1}{3} x - 3\\\\y = \frac{1}{3}x -3-6\\\\y = \frac{1}{3}x -9\\\\$

Why does a calculator return an error when trying to find inverse sine of 1.055?

anyanavicka [17]

Sin(x) is a function bounded between -1 and 1. A value greater than 1 or smaller than -1 (-1.1, for instance) does not correspond to any real angle.

It then returns error

How is this answer D?

kompoz [17]

It's a equilateral triangle with each side being equal to the radius.

So the area is $\dfrac{8^2\sqrt 3}{4}=\dfrac{64\sqrt3}{4}=16\sqrt3$
