Simplifying8x + 18 + -1x + -9 = 0
Reorder the terms:18 + -9 + 8x + -1x = 0
Combine like terms: 18 + -9 = 99 + 8x + -1x = 0
Combine like terms: 8x + -1x = 7x9 + 7x = 0
Solving9 + 7x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9' to each side of the equation.9 + -9 + 7x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 00 + 7x = 0 + -97x = 0 + -9
Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -97x = -9
Divide each side by '7'.x = -1.285714286
Simplifyingx = -1.285714286

You have the numbers 1–24 written on slips of paper.If you choose one slip at random, what is the probability that you will not

ollegr [7]

The numbers that are divisible by 3 are:

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
that is 8 numbers divisible by 3

24-8=16 numbers NOT divisible by 3

so the probability of not picking a number divisible by 3 is 16/24

hope this helps and is right :)

The sum of two consecutive integers is -239 find the two integers

xenn [34]

Answer:

The two consecutive integers are -119 and -120

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that these two integers are consecutive, that means that they will have a difference of 1. This means that we can find the two integers by adding 1 to the sum of -239 and then dividing it by two

$1-239=-238\\\frac{-238}{2} =-119\\-119-1=-120$

A parabola has vertex (2, 3) and contains the point (0, 0). find an equation that represents this parabola.

AfilCa [17]

First write it in vertex form :-

y= a(x - 2)^2 + 3 where a is some constant.

We can find the value of a by substituting the point (0.0) into the equation:-

0 = a((-2)^2 + 3

4a = -3

a = -3/4

so our equation becomes y = (-3/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3

A 15-foot ladder leans against a house. The bottom of the ladder is 7 feet from the house. To the nearest degree, what angle doe

max2010maxim [7]

The ladder is forming a right triangle with the house. In this right triangle the hypotenuse is the measure of the ladder, and the distance between the house and he ladder is one of the sides of the triangle. To find the angle, $\alpha$ , that the ladder is making with the ground, we are going to use a trig function that relates the adjacent side of our angle with the hypotenuse. That trig function is Cosine.
$Cos \alpha = \frac{adjacent.side}{hypotenuse}$
$Cos \alpha = \frac{7}{15}$
$\alpha =arcCos( \frac{7}{15} )$
$\alpha =62.2$

We can conclude that the ladder make with the ground a 62° angle.
