How to solve -2(-4f+5)=-7+2f-9

Mathematics

Answer:

f=\frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(4f+5)=-7+2f-9

First, use PEMDAS to distribute the -2 to the parenthesis.

-8f -10 = -7+2f -9

Combine like terms on the right side.

-8f - 10 = -16+2f

Now, you may either subtract the f's or the constants. I'll subtract the constants first, meaning I will add 10 to both sides.

-8f = -6 + 2f

Now subtract the 2f from both sides.

-10f = -6

Divide both sides by 10.

f = \frac{-6}{-10}

Simplify.

f = \frac{3}{5}

Answer:

The value of f:

  • f=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

-2\left(-4f+5\right)=-7+2f-9

Group like terms

-2\left(-4f+5\right)=2f-7-9

Subtract the numbers: -7-9=-16

-2\left(-4f+5\right)=2f-16

Expand:  -2(-4f + 5) = 8f - 10

8f-10=2f-16

Add 10 to both sides

8f-10+10=2f-16+10

Simplify

8f=2f-6

Subtract 2f from both sides

8f-2f=2f-6-2f

Simplify

6f=-6

Divide both sides by 6

\frac{6f}{6}=\frac{-6}{6}

Simplify

f=-1

Therefore, the value of f:

  • f=-1

in a given classroom the number of girls is 10 greater than number of boys if the ratio of the number of girls to the number of
Xelga [282]

Answer:

a) 35,  b) 25,  c) 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of girls is 10 more than the number of boys, so it's a good thing to choose a variable to represent the number of boys.

Number of boys:  b

Number of girls:  b + 10

Ratio of girls:boys is 7:5, so

\frac{b+10}{b}=\frac{7}{5}

"Cross multiply" to get

7b=5(b+10)\\7b=5b+50\\2b=50\\b=25

There are 25 boys.  There are 10 more girls, so the number of girls is 35, and the total number of students is 60.

That's a packed classroom!

PLEASE HELP! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

320 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 200x = 166400

It's a square, area should be side²

x² + 2(x)(100) = 166400

x² + 2(x)(100) + 100² = 166400 + 100²

(x + 100)² = 176400

x + 100 = 420

Since these are sides, we just consider the positive square root

x + 100 = 420

x = 320m
