18 - 7x = -20.5

Subtract 18 from each side:

-7x = -38.5

Divide both sides by -7:

x = -38.5 / -7

x = -5.5 = 5 1/2

The answer is D.

Answer:

D. 5 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

18-7x=-20.5

Subtract 18 from each side

18-18-7x=-20.5-18

-7x = -38.5

Divide each side by -7

-7x = -38.5/-7

x =5.5

In fraction form

x = 5 1/2

Complete the steps of the derivation of the quadratic formula step 1: (x+b/2a)^2-b^2-4ac/4a^2=0
CaHeK987 [17]
(x+b/2a)^2-(b^2-4ac)/2a=0
Step 2:
Re-write the expression:
(x+b/2a)^2=(b^2-4ac)/4a^2

Step 3:
get the square root of both sides:
x+b/2a=sqrt[(b^2-4ac)/4a^2]

Step 4:
Simplifying we get:
x+b/2a=sqrt[b^2-4ac]/2a

Step 5
Make x the subject:
x=-b/2a+/-sqrt[b^2-4ac]/2a

A ramp is used to load a snowmobile onto the back of a pickup truck. The truck bed is 1.3m above the ground. For safety, the ang
kiruha [24]

Answer:

2.02 m

or 2 m 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine a triangle containing the 40° angle and that this angle is at the left.  Then the height of the truck bed is 1.3 m and the "shortest possible length of the ramp" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.  We need to find the length of this ramp, that is, the length of the hypotenuse.  

The sine function relates this 40° angle and the 1.3 m height of the truck bed:

sin 40° = opp / hyp = 1.3 m / hyp

which can be solved for 'hyp' as follows:

              1.3 m

hyp = ----------------- = (1.3 m) / 0.6428)

             sin 40°

                                                                                  1.3 m

Thus, the length of the ramp must be less than -------------- or 2.02 m

                                                                                 0.6428

where this last result is to the nearest cm.

If the ramp is shorter the angle of the ramp will be smaller and the ramp angle considered safer.

Imagine you are hanging two identical picture frames. Each frame is 28 inches wide and the wall you are hanging them on is 10 fe
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

  • 28 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sum of the width of the two frames and a gap between them:</u>

  • 28*2 + 8 = 64 in

<u>The gaps from the left and right are equal to x:</u>

  • x = (10 feet - 64 in)/2 = (120 in - 64 in)/2 = 28 in
