<u><em>Answer: x=6 *The answer should be the positive sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

division property of equality is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number does not change the equation.

divide by -8 both sides of an equation.

-8x/-8=-48/-8

48/8=6

48/6=8

8*6=48

x=6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

What is the length (magnitude) of the vector (2,-1)?

KiRa [710]

Answer:

$\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vector is represented by (2,-1).

This can be represented in general form as (x,y) where x=2 and y=-1.

Magnitude of the vector represented as (x,y) is given by $[\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\]$

Evaluating for the given values of x and y,

$\sqrt{2^{2}+(-1)^{2}}$ $=\sqrt{4+1}$

$=\sqrt{5}$

Length of the vector is $\sqrt{5}$

Select all expressions that represent a correct solution to the equation 6(x+4)=20

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

D. 20 ÷ 6 − 4

E. 1/6(20 − 24)

F. (20−24) ÷ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x + 4) = 20

6(x) + 6(4) = 20

6x + 24 = 20

- 24 - 24

6x = -4

/6 /6

x = -4/6 or x = -2/3

D. 20 ÷ 6 − 4

20/6 - 4

20/6 - 24/6

-4/6 = -2/3

E. 1/6(20 − 24)

1/6(-4)

-4/6 = -2/3

F. (20 − 24) ÷ 6

- 4 / 6

-4/6 = -2/3

Hope this helps!

Help with matrices please? Any wrong/not applicable answers will be reported and BLOCKED

marin [14]

m x H = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-25&37.5&-12.5\\\9\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Multiply 5 with this matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&2\\4&8\\\end{array}\right]$ and we get a matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5&10\\20&40\\\end{array}\right]$

Multiply the fraction $\frac{2}{5}$ with the matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&2\\4&8\\\end{array}\right]$ and we get $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-\frac{2m}{5} &\frac{4m}{5} \\\frac{8m}{5} &\frac{16m}{5} \\\end{array}\right]$

Step2; Now equate corresponding values of the matrices with each other.

-5 = $\frac{-2m}{5}$ and so on. By equating we get the value of m as $\frac{25}{2}$

Step 3; Add the matrices to get the value of matrix m.

Adding the three matrices on the RHS we get $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&9&-9\\\end{array}\right]$ .

Step 4; Adding the matrices on the LHS we get the resulting matrix as H +

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&6&-8\\\9\end{array}\right]$ . Equating the matrices from step 3 and 4 we get the value of H as $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&-1\\\9\end{array}\right]$

Step 5; Now to find the value of m x H we need to multiply the value of $\frac{25}{2}$ with the matrix $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&-1\\\9\end{array}\right]$

Step 6; Multiplying we get the matrix m x H = [ -25 $\frac{75}{2}$ $\frac{-25}{2}$ ]
