Answer:

10x - 5(x - 1) = 20

10x - 5x + 5 = 20

5x + 5 = 20

5x = 20 - 5

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The first error was in the 2nd line:  -5(x - 1) is -5x + 5, not -5x - 5 = 20.

Continuing the solution:

10x - 5x + 5 = 20

Combining like terms, we get

5x = 15, and so x = 3

How do u find the answer
Minchanka [31]
Pffff

the dependent variable is depending on the indepdent variable
the value of the depdendent variable depends on what the indepdentnt vairable is
the indepdent variable influcnces the value of the depdent variable

y=mx
x influences the value of y
the input influences the output
the input is the days (x)
output is y
x is indepdendent
y is depdent


answer is D
(btw, the equation listed is c=something so there is no y, there is a typo)

Triangle HIJ has coordinates H(-3,5), (8,2), and J(-3,-5). Find
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

H (x= -3 , y=5)

I (x=8 , y=2)

J (x= -3 , y= -5)

D is the distance between the 2 points so just plug in the x and y cords of each of the corresponding points

so for (HI)

you plug in 2 on the red x

and 8 on the red y

then -3 in the blue x

and 5 in the blue y

ms Callahan is building a new dog pen for her dog. she has 24feet of fencing. the pen needs to be a rectangle. what is the lengt
NeX [460]
If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet.  The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure.  The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w.  In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.

So, the formula is P=2l+2w.  P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w.  Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w.  If the length is 1, l=1.  24=(2*1)+2w.  24=2+2w.  22=2w.  w=11.  So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.

What if l=2?  24=(2*2)+2w.  24=4+2w.  2w=20.  w=10.  If l=2, w=10.  And l=3?  24=(2*3)+2w.  24=6+2w.  18=2w.  w=9.  If l=3, w=9.  Do you see a pattern?  Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w.  So if l=4, w=8.  If l=5, w=7.  If l=6, w=6.  Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5.  If l=8, w=4.  Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width.  So, our answers are below.

Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.
