Can someone help me with this question please

If you subtract 16 from my number and multiply the difference by -7, the result is -154 What is my number

adell [148]

Answer:

16-x*(-7)=-154

7x =-154-16

7x/7=-170/7

X=-24.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent "my number"

1/4x – 2 = 3/8 Please show an equation and work. :)

Julli [10]

1/4x - 2 = 3/8

First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.
$\frac{x}{4} - 2 = \frac{3}{8}$

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{3}{8} + 2$

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)
$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{19}{8}$

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.
$x = \frac{19}{8} \times 4$

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.
$x = \frac{76}{8}$

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).

Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8

Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.

Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.
$76 \div 4 = 19 \\ 8 \div 4 = 2$

Answer in fraction form: $\fbox {x = 19/2}$
Answer in decimal form: $\fbox {x = 9.5}$

On a coordinate plane, quadrilateral Q R S T has points (0, 2), (negative 4, 0), (0, negative 3), and (4, 0).

Afina-wow [57]

By applying the definitions of rigid transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

<h3>How to apply rigid transformations on a point</h3>

Herein we must apply a rigid transformation into a given point to determine an image. Rigid transformations are transformations applied on a geometric locus such that Euclidean distance is conserved. Dilations are a kind of rigid transformations such that:

(x, y) → (k · x, k · y), for k > 0

If we know that Q(x, y) = (0, 2) and k = 0.5, then the coordinates of Q' are:

Q'(x, y) = (0.5 · 0, 0.5 · 2)

Q'(x, y) = (0, 1)

By applying the definitions of rigid transformation ((x, y) → (0.5 · x, 0.5 · y)) and dilation, we conclude that the coordinates of Q'(x, y) are (0.1).

Suppose you add two vectors A and B . What relative direction between them produces the resultant with the greatest magnitude? W

Anna71 [15]

Answer: The resultant would be the sum and the difference between the vectors.

Step by step explanation: 1. The possible resultant is between the sum of the 2 vectors and the difference between the two vectors.

2. The greatest magnitude is when the vectors lie in the same direction and the sum would be the scalar sum of the two vectors. The angle between the two would be zero degree.
