Answer:

 q = 7/2 = 3.500

Step-by-step explanation:

   

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    5*(3*q-10)-5*q-(-15)=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 (5 • (3q - 10) -  5q) -  -15  = 0

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  10q - 35  =   5 • (2q - 7)

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 5 • (2q - 7)  = 0

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

4.1      Solve :    5   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.2      Solve  :    2q-7 = 0

Add  7  to both sides of the equation :

                     2q = 7

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    q = 7/2 = 3.500

Answer:

The value of the equation is q=3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provide equation.

-15=5(3q-10)-5q

Open the parentheses

-15=15q-50-5q

Subtract the like terms.

-15=10q-50

Add 50 to the both sides.

-15+50=10q-50+50

35=10q

Divide both sides by 10.

q=3.5

Check.

Substitute q=3.5 in -15=5(3q-10)-5q

-15=5(3(3.5)-10)-5(3.5)

-15=5(10.5-10)-17.5

-15=5(0.5)-17.5

-15=2.5-17.5

-15=-15

Which is true.

Hence, the value of the equation is q=3.5

Look at the figure. Name the postulate or theorem you can use to prove the train goes congruent?
Nikolay [14]

Let us recall parallelogram properties, which states that opposite angles of parallelogram are congruent.

We can see from graph that side US is parallel to TR and measure of angle U equals to measure of angle R, therefore, quadrilateral drawn in our given graph is a parallelogram.

Since we know that opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent. In our parallelogram UT=SR and US=TR.

In our triangle STU and triangle TSR side TS=TS by reflexive property of congruence.

Therefore, our triangles are congruent by SSS congruence.

Baseball hat is on sale for 15% off, which is $2.70. How much does the baseball hat cost at full price?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

27.9 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

2.70= 15 percent

2.70x2=5.4=30 percent

5.4+2.70=8.1=45 percent

8.1x2=16.2=95 percent

95 percent + 15 percent=18.9

18.9=105 percent

in order to subtract 5 percent we need to find 5 percent by dividing 2.70 by 3

which = .9

18.9+9=27.9

100 percent is 27.9 dollars

Am I right?? <br> * Show examples &amp; details if I am wrong!! *
baherus [9]

Yes, you are correct.

From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.

All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).

We can gather the following information from the given information.

  • The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
  • The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9

We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:

12/x = x/9

Using the cross product property gives us:

x² = 9 × 12

x² = 108

Taking the square root of both sides gives us:

x = √108

= 6 √3

Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
