Answer:

x = - $\frac{125}{2}$ = - 62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{5}$ x = - 25

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

2x = - 125 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - $\frac{125}{2}$ = - 62.5

Two garden plots are to have the same area. One is square and one is rectangular. The rectangular plot is 2 meters wide and 8 me

Crank

First, let's look at the formulas for the area of square and area of the rectangle.

$A_{square}=a^2$

$A_{rectangle}=a\cdot b$

And what this exercise states is that the areas are the same. So:

$A_{square}=A_{rectangle}\Longrightarrow a^2=a\cdot b$

Now put in the data.

$a^2=2\cdot8$

Solve for $a$ :

$a=\sqrt{2\cdot8}=\sqrt{16}=\boxed{4}$

The side of the square garden plot is 4 meters.

Hope this helps.

The number of miles driven is proportional to the gallons of gasoline used. The graph shows this relationship. What is the unit

slamgirl [31]

I think the answer is 9.5 because that is the only number that can be multiplied by 4 that gives you 38.
(4,38) = y=9.5x

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST PLEASE EXPLAIN

Answer:

a. (x+5)^2 = 49

b. (x+7)^2 = (x+1)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

So the term "a number" is always going to be x. input x into the sentences. "X plus five, then squared, is forty-nine". when they do "is __", that means equal to. In the second question, seven more than x is x + 7 (the two numbers are interchangeable here). Equivalent also means equal. hope this helped :)
