When solving this equation: −16 + x = −15 we start with adding 16 to both sides. Why do we use addition?

Mathematics

Answer:

We use addition because -16 is negative, and we need to cancel out its value so we add 16 to both sides, leaving 0+x, or x, on the left and combining like terms on the right.

If 2x + 5y = -5 what is x if y = -5<br> HELP ASAP
mash [69]

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

first substitute y with the value (-5)

2x+5(-5)=-5 which is simplified to 2x+-25=-5

add 25 to -5 which gives you 2x=20

then divide 20 by 2 which makes x=10

Find the area of a regular octagon with an apothem of 7 inches and a side length of 5.8 inches. (nearest tenth)
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

162.4 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

LETS GET INTOOOOEEETTT

Let's start with what we know:

Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem

We know the apothem, so all that we need to find to fill in the above equation is the perimeter:

perimeter = 8 x 5.8 = 46.4in

Now we can fill in our original equation and solve:

Area of regular octagon = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem

Formula = n (s/2)² divided by tan( π /n)

   = 8 (5.8/2)²  divided by tan ( π /8)

                 = 162.4283 in²

ORRR when rounded to the nearest tenth,

                      =162.4 in²

The height of a cone is twice the radius of its base.
fredd [130]

Answer: 2/3πx³

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius of the cone be represented by x.

Since the height of the cone is twice the radius of its base, the height will be: = 2x

Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h

where,

r = x

h = 2x

Volume of a cone = 1/3πr²h

= 1/3 × π × x² × 2x

= 1/3 × π × x² × 2x

= 1/3 × π × 2x³

= 2/3πx³

Therefore, the correct answer is 2/3πx³.
