Mathematics

Answer:

x= −2/7

i loveeeee mathhhhh have a great day :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−2)=−2(x+6)

(5)(x)+(5)(−2)=(−2)(x)+(−2)(6)(Distribute)

5x+−10=−2x+−12

5x−10=−2x−12

Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.

5x−10+2x=−2x−12+2x

7x−10=−12

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides.

7x−10+10=−12+10

7x=−2

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.

7x/7=−2/7

x=−2/7

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

978 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the rectangle:

24in X 30in = 720 in^2

the area of the two similar triangles:

12 X 9 / 2 + 12 X 9 / 2 = 108 in^2

the area of the last triangle:

20 in X 15 in /2 = 150in^2

.

the total area is the sum of the areas:

720in^2 + 108in^2 + 150in^2 = 978in^2.

John has a ribbon that was 1 1/2 meters long. He used 2 pieces that were each 1/3 of that length. How much ribbon did John use?
Bond [772]

Answer:

1 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/2 * 1/3

= 3/2 * 1/3

= 3/6

= 1/2.

So John used 2*1/2 = 1 meter of the ribbon.

9(x+2)= 5 - 2( x - 1 )
omeli [17]

We can use the distribution method for both sides:

9 (x+2) = 5 - 2( x - 1 )

9x + 18 = 5 -2x + 2

Move like terms to one side and combine:

9x + 2x = 5+2-18.

11x = -11

x = -1.
