Answer:

$1\frac{4}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (3x-3) = 4/5 (5x-10)

-----------------------------

This also equals to:

-3*(3x-3)=4/5*(5x-10)

-----------------------------

Start by opening the parentheses:

-3*(3x-3)=4/5*(5x-10)

Then use distributive property:

(-3*3x) + (-3*-3)= (4/5*5x) + (4/5*-10)

Simplify the equation:

(-3*3x) + (-3*-3)= (4/5*5x) + (4/5*-10)

-9x+9= 4x-8

+8 +8

-9x+17= 4x

+9x +9x

17= 13x

÷13 ÷13

17/13=x

17/13=

$1\frac{4}{13}$

-----------------------------

:) Have a good day!

How do I do this please help

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

wrong as his calculation was incorrect at initial level itself when he found the result of the division

Step-by-step explanation:

Andre said

3 ÷ $\frac{2}{3}$

$=3 \times \frac{3}{2}$

$=\frac{3 \times 3}{2}$

$=\frac{9}{2}$

but andre calculated it as

$=4\tfrac{1}{3}$

$=\frac{4 \times 3 + 1}{3}$

$=\frac{13}{3}$

Hence his calculation was incorrect at initial level itself

Find the measure of one interior angle of a regular 14-gon.

lozanna [386]

$\bf \textit{sum of all interior angles in a polygon}\\\\ n\theta =180(n-2)~~ \begin{cases} n=\stackrel{polygon}{sides}\\ \theta = angle~in\\ \qquad degrees\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ n = 14\\ \end{cases}\implies 14\theta =180(14-2) \\\\\\ 14\theta =180(12)\implies 14\theta =2160\implies \theta =\cfrac{2160}{14}\implies \theta \approx 154.3^o$

Reasoning triangle $abc$ has a perimeter of $12$ units. the vertices of the triangle are $a(x,\ 2),\ b(2,-2)$ , and $c(-1,\ 2)$

OlgaM077 [116]

hmmm let's find the distance between B and C first off.

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{(~~-1 - 2~~)^2 + (~~2 - (-2)~~)^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{(-1 -2)^2 + (2 +2)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{( -3 )^2 + ( 4 )^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{ 9 + 16 } \implies BC=\sqrt{ 25 }\implies BC=5$

hmmm if BC is that much, then AB + AC = 7, since AB + AC + BC = 12 which is the perimeter, Check the picture below.
