No, because with the parentheses, you distribute the 2 to both the x and the 5, making that equation 2x-10

Simplify 4n5 + 3.5n5 + (-2.1n5). 4.4 n5 5.4 n5 20 n5 6.4 n5

ella [17]

Answer:

$4 {n}^{5} + 3.5 {n}^{5} + ( - 2.1 {n}^{5} )$

first create a bracket:

$= ( {4n}^{5} + 3.5 {n}^{5} ) + ( - 2.1 {n}^{5} )$

then solve the first bracket:

$= {7.5 {n}^{5} } + ( - 2.1 {n}^{5} )$

then open the remaining bracket:

$= {7.5n}^{5} - {2.1n}^{5}$

carryout the subtraction operation:

$= (7.5 - 2.1) {n}^{5} \\ { \boxed{ = {5.4n}^{5} }}$

The angle measures of a triangle are in a ratio of 4 : 6 : 10. what type of triangle is this?

melomori [17]

$4x+6x+10x=180$

$20x=180$

$x=9$

So, the angles are:

$4(9)=36$
$6(9)=54$
$10(9)=90$

It's a right triangle.
