Answer:
<em>p</em> = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Happy to help.
When we have numbers in parenthesis, we generally want to deal with those first. However, we can hit a rough patch when a variable is in there. Consider this:
2(3 + 4) = 2(7), or 14.
But, the two can also be distributed into both numbers in the parenthesis, like this:
2(3 + 4) = 2*3 + 2*4
That leaves us with the same answer—14! We can apply this to a variable, and that will help us figure out 9(<em>p</em> - 4), or the left side of your equation you presented.
9(<em>p</em> - 4) = -18
9*<em>p</em> - 9*4 = -18
9<em>p</em> - 36 = -18
Add 36 on both sides to isolate the variable (in this case, <em>p)</em>
9<em>p</em> = -18 + 36
You can also write it like this; 9<em>p</em> = 36 - 18
9<em>p</em> = 18
Divide 9 to isolate <em>p</em>
<em>p</em> = 2
So, we would get (<em>p</em> = 2). Make sure to practice a few more questions like these to really get the hang of it—you'll be using this a lot in the future!
Good luck!
360 ÷ 6 = 60 (Angles at a point)
Answer: 60°
Answer:
a) Angle XBC = 55° because it's a corresponding angle
AXY = XBC
b) 180° - (55° × 2) = 70°
Hi there,
73 indeed a prime number
A prime number<span> (or a </span>prime) is a natural number<span> greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. A </span>natural number<span> greater than 1 that is not a </span>prime number<span> is called a composite </span><span>number!</span>
