Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Salma and Jared each threw 5 darts at the target shown. Salma scored 19 points by landing 2 darts in A and 3 in B. Jared scored 17 points by landing 1 dart in A and 4 in B. How many points are given for a dart landing in A?

this can be solved using simultaneous equation. Two equations can be formed from the question

2a + 3b = 19  equation 1

1a + 4b = 17    equation 2

Multiply equation 2 by 2

2a + 8b = 34  equation 3

Subtract equation 1 from 3

5b = 15

divide both sides of the equation by 5

b = 3

Substitute for b in equation 1

2a + 3(3) = 19

2a = 9 = 19

collect like terms

2a = 10

divide both sides of the equation by 2

a = 5

Solve 5n – 7p + 3n = 25p for n.
saul85 [17]

5n – 7p + 3n = 25p

Combine like terms

8n - 7p = 25p

Add (7p) to both sides

8n - 7p + 7p = 25p + 7p

Simplifying

8n = 32p

Divide both sides by 8

8n / 8 = 32p / 8

Simplifying

n = 4p

The rectangle below has an area of c^2-4x-12 square meters and a length of x+2 meters what expression represents the width of th
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Width = \frac{c^2 - 4x - 12  }{x+2}

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is to use the method of changing the subject. First we know that length * width is equal to area.

Area = length * width

We have the area and the length but we don't have the width. So we substitute the values we have int the equation and make the width (w) the subject.

(c^2 - 4x - 12) = (x + 2) * w

(c^2 - 4x - 12) = w(x +2)

Divide both sides by (x+2) so w can stand alone.

\frac{c^2 - 4x - 12}{x+2} = \frac{w(x+2)}{x+2}

w = \frac{c^2 - 4x - 12  }{x+2}

Help with these problems please, DUE T O D A Y !!!! I’ll try to make you guys brainlist who ever answers first
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

19) n = -14

20) x = 4

21) b= -14

22) x = 2

23) x = -1

24) x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

19) Use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses. You will get:    20-4n = 76. So, n = -14.

20) Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get: -8 + x = -4. So, x = 4

21) Add 3 to both sides to get: \frac{b}{14} = -1. So, b = -14

22) Use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses. You will get: -40 - 5x = -50. Then, add 40 to both sides to get: -5x = -10. So, x = 2.

23) Use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses. You will get: -72 = -64 + 8x. Then, add 64 to both sides to get: -8 = 8x. So, x = -1

24) Add 2 to both sides to get: \frac{x}{3} = -3. So, x = -9

Hope this helps :)
