Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 5x + 10 - x - 2 = 50, that is

- 6x + 8 = 50 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 6x = 42 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = - 7

Answer:

(-5x - 10) - 2x = 50

-7x - 10 = 50

     +10    +10

    -7x = 60

      -7x/7 = 60/7

x=8.57142857143 or 60/7

Step-by-step explanation:

You first distribute the -5 to X and 2 then add x and 2. Then add 10 on both sides. Next divided each side by POSITIVE 7 and decimal or fraction is ur final answer

Morgan, Dakota and Taylor showed their work solving the equation 7x+5x+1=73. Identify the student with the invalid first step an
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Morgan, Dakota and Taylor expressed as 7x+5x+1=73, to get the value of x, the valid steps are as shown;

7x+5x+1=73

take the sum of 7x and 5x

12x+ 1 = 73

subtract 1 from both sides

12x+1-1 = 73-1

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x = 6

Based on the calculation above, the students with invalid first step is Dakota.

<em>Dakota added 5x with 1 to get 6x which is an invalid step because 1 is not attached to a variable x. A function cannot be added to a constant hence making his first step invalid.</em>

Bill found a book he wanted on sale for $20.80. The original price of the book was $32. Find the discount rate.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

35% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first find what percent of 32 20.80 is.

This can be shown by using a percent proportion.

\frac{20.80}{32} = \frac{x}{100}

We can cross multiply to find the value of x.

20.80\cdot100=2080\\\\2080\div 32 = 65

So 20.80 is 65% of 32.

However, this is the percent of the original price. To find the discount, we have to subtract 65 from 100.

100 - 65 = 35

So the book was on a 35% discount.

Hope this helped!

A semicircle has the radius of 2 4/5. What is its area? leave your answers in term of π
Ratling [72]

Answer:

11\dfrac{13}{25}\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

r = Radius of semicircle = 2\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{24}{5}\ \text{units}

Area of semicircle is given by

A=\dfrac{\pi r^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi \left(\dfrac{24}{5}\right)^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{288}{25}\pi=11\dfrac{13}{25}\pi\ \text{sq. units}

The area of the semicircle is 11\dfrac{13}{25}\pi\ \text{sq. units}.
