Answer: x=−9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−2(x+14)+1=5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(x+14)+1=5(−2)(x)+(−2)(14)+1=5(Distribute)−2x+

Answer:

x = -2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x + 1/4) + 1 = 5

-2x - 1/2 + 1 = 5

-2x + 1/2 = 5

-2x = 5 - 1/2

-2x = 4 1/2

-x = 2 1/4

x = -2 1/4

Hope this helps!

Let me know if I'm wrong :)

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 15cm, and the shorter leg is 9cm. Find the length of the other leg
pishuonlain [190]

Hello!

If you add up the squares of the two legs, it will equal the square of the hypotenuse. As we already have the hypotenuse, we will subtract.

225-81=144

Now we find the square root.

√144=12

Therefore, the other leg is 12 cm long.

I hope this helps!

Use the T-table below to determine 3 solutions to this equation: y = 2x
Jet001 [13]
The table is attached as a figure

The given equation is ⇒⇒⇒⇒ y = 2x
To solve this equation, we need to pick numbers from the table then this number will be substituted into the equation to find y
we need 3 solutions . so, we need to pick 3 numbers of x
From the table, let us choose x = 0
y = 2x
y = 2 * (0)
y = 0

From the table, let choose second value of x such as x = 1
y = 2 * (1)
y = 2

From the table, let choose third value of x such as x = -1
y = 2 * (-1)
y = -2

So, the picked three solutions are
y = 0  at   x = 0
y = -2  at  x = -1
y = 2 at  x = 1

Can someone help me please please please

Use the Pythagorean theorem a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} to find the missing side length of a right triangle 

In this case, after you plug in the given numbers your equation is 12^{2} +  y^{2}  =  20^{2}

Then, Just solve that equation for y.

144 +  y^{2} = 400

x^{2} = 256

\sqrt{} y^{2}  =  \sqrt{256}

y = 16

So the answer is B, 16 cm.

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask questions if you're still confused :)

Vince's birthday party is going to be at his favorite science museum next weekend. He has 8 friends who want to see the Dinosaur
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Dinosaur Discovery show = 8 friends

Wild Weather show = 4 friends

Cost of Dinosaur Discovery show = $d

Cost of Wild Weather show = $w

At regular price:

Total cost of his friends' tickets = 8 * d + 4 * w

= 8d + 4w

At half price

Total cost of his friends' tickets =

8 * 1/2d + 4 * 1/2w

= 8/2d + 4/2w

= 4d + 2w

Total cost of his friends' tickets = 4d + 2w
