Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6(9x − 10) + 2(18 − 3x) = −8

use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac

6(9x) + 6(-10) + 2(18) + 2(-3x) = -8

54x - 60 + 36 - 6x = -8 combine like terms

(54x - 6x) + (-60 + 36) = -8 Answer: Add -60 and 36

48x - 24 = -8 add 24 to both sides

48x = 16 divide both sides by 48

x = 16/48

x = 1/3

Answer:

B. BD = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply set the 2 equations equal to each other (both are congruent due to perpendicular bisector):

6x + 3 = 3x = 6

3x + 3 = 6

3x = 3

x = 1

Then substitute 1 for x in BD

6(1) + 3

6 + 3

BD = 9

A 6 sided number cube is tossed. what is the probability of rolling a 6 or an odd number?

Veronika [31]

For any probability the formula is $P_{desired}=\frac{desired}{total}$ . In this case we have 4 desired outcomes (the odds, 1, 3 and 5, and also 6) out of 6 total sides, so our probability $P_{oddor6} =\frac{odd or 6}{total sides}=\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$ .

Mutually exclusive means the events cant occur at the same time. In our case it is not possible to roll both a 6 and an odd number at the same time since 6 is even. Therefore the events ARE mutually exclusive.

Combine the two parts and C is the correct answer.

The perimeter of a triangle is 86 inches. The largest side is four inches less than twice the smallest side. The third side is 1

Xelga [282]

Hello,
Assume x the smallest side.
y the third side
z the largest side
z=2x-4
y=10+x
x+y+z=86
==>x+(10+x)+(2x-4)=86
==>4x=86-10+4
==>x=20, y=30 and z=36

(x/16)-(x+2)/8))=2 PLS HELP ME BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST CORRECT ANSWER

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Simplify both sides of the equation

x/16−(x+2/8) = 2x/16 + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2

Distribute

1/16x + −1/8x + −1/4 = 2

(1/16x + −1/8x)+(−1/4) = 2

Combine Like Terms

−1/16x + −1/4 = 2

Add 1/4 to both sides.

−1/16x + −1/4 + 1/4 = 2 + 1/4

−1/16x = 9/4

Multiply both sides by 16/(-1).

(16/−1)*(−1/16x)=(16/−1)*(9/4)

x=−36
