Answer:
1/5? 0.2?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8. m=6
9. x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 8:
2m-6=m
-2m -2m (subtract 2m from both sides)
<u>-6</u>=<u>-m</u>
- - (divide both sides by the negative)
m=6
Question 9:
<u>8x</u>=<u>16 </u> (divide both sides of the equation by 8)
8 8
x=2
If we assume the given segments are those from the vertices to the point of intersection of the diagonals, it seems one diagonal (SW) is 20 yards long and the other (TR) is 44 yards long. The area (A) of the kite is half the product of the diagonals:
... A = (1/2)·SW·TR = (1/2)·(20 yd)·(44 yd)
... A = 440 yd²

we have this equation:
-52(x-14)=x+3
we solve this equation:
-52x+728=x+3
-52x-x=3-728
-53x=-725
x=-725/-53=725/53 ≈13,68
Solution: 725/53
To check:
the difference between 725/53 and 14=725/53 - 14=(725-742)/53=-17/53
-52 times the diference is= -52(-17/53)=884/53
The number plus 3=725/53 + 3=(725+159)/53=884/53
