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!

-25^-1/2 with explanation please

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The simplified value of $-25^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ is $-\frac{1}{5}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

As the given expression is

$-25^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Lets simplify this expression step by step

$-25^{-\frac{1}{2}}....[A]$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}$

$25^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{25^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

So, lets plug $25^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{25^{\frac{1}{2}}}$ in equation [A] i.e. $-25^{-\frac{1}{2}}....[A]$

$-25^{-\frac{1}{2}}....[A]$

$=-\frac{1}{25^{\frac{1}{2}}}$ ∵ $25^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{25^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$=-\frac{1}{5}$ ∵ $25^{\frac{1}{2}}=5$

Therefore, the simplified value of $-25^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ is $-\frac{1}{5}$ .

This is the first step in which construction?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in the construction of a square inscribed in a circle is to draw a diameter of the circle.

Then we have to draw perpendicular bisector of the diameter using a compass.

Therefore, the perpendicular bisector will be another diameter of the circle and both the diameters will meet at the center of the circle.

Now, join the points with straight lines in order where the two diameters meet the circle. And finally, we will get a square inscribed in the circle.

Hence, option A is correct. (Answer)

Find the sum of x^2 + 3x and 2x^2 + 9x + 5

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$3 {x}^{2} + 12x + 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x^2 + 3x) + (2x^2 + 9x + 5) \\ \\ = x^2 + 3x + 2x^2 + 9x + 5 \\ \\ = {x}^{2} + 2 {x}^{2} + 3x + 9x + 5 \\ \\ = 3 {x}^{2} + 12x + 5$
