Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - (8x -17) = -10

Rewrite the equation and take away the brackets:

5x - 8x + 17 = -10

5x - 8x = -10 - 17

5x - 8x = -27

-3x = -27

x = -27 ÷ -3

x = 9

I hope this helps!

hammer [34]

Answer:

216 bats will be female

<u>9</u>        =        <u>486</u>

4                    x

We use nine because the ratio of male to female is 5/4 so the ratio of total to female is 9/4. Cross multiply.

   9x = 1944

    x= 216

So 216 bats will be female

masya89 [10]

Answer:

D=36

Step-by-step explanation:

All angles of the triangle add up to 180. Subtract 180-59-55=66

Then the missing measurement is a vertical which means that E=66.

So then 180-78-66=36

Find the perimeter of the figure shown to the right.
tia_tia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

that is very simple. you do understand the word "perimeter" ? it just means the distance when walking around the whole shape once.

and that clearly means to just add all side lengths.

that's it.

so, 25 + 18 + 18 + 20 + 17 = 98 ft

was there any other problem with this you did not understand ?
