6x - 2(x + 4) = 12    use distributive property

6x + (-2)(x) + (-2)(4) = 12

6x - 2x - 8 = 12      add 8 to both sides

4x = 20     divide both sides by 4

x = 5

To solve for x, we will begin by using the distributive property

6x - 2(x + 4) = 12

6x - 2x - 8 = 12

(always remember to sort your negatives!)

Add like terms 

4x - 8 = 12

Add 8 to both sides

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4

x = 5

A parallelogram has one angle that measures 118°. What are the measures of the other three angles in the parallelogram?
MariettaO [177]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given</em>

<em>We </em><em>know </em><em>that </em><em>in </em><em>a </em><em>parallelogram </em><em>opposite </em><em>angles </em><em>are </em><em>equal</em><em>. </em><em>So </em>

<em>1st </em><em>and </em><em>3rd </em><em>angles </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>°</em>

<em>Let </em><em>2nd </em><em>and </em><em>4th </em><em>angles </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>x</em>

<em>Now</em>

<em>1</em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>°</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>°</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>6</em><em>0</em><em>°</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>Being </em><em>sum </em><em>of </em><em>angles </em><em>of </em><em>parallelogram</em><em>) </em>

<em>2</em><em>3</em><em>6</em><em>°</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>2x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>6</em><em>0</em><em>°</em>

<em>2x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>3</em><em>6</em><em>0</em><em>°</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>3</em><em>6</em><em>°</em>

<em>2x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>°</em>

<em>Therefore </em><em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>2</em><em>°</em>

<em>Now </em><em>the </em><em>measure </em><em>of </em><em>other </em><em>all </em><em>angles </em>

<em>118</em><em>°</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>2</em><em>°</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>1</em><em>8</em><em>°</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>6</em><em>2</em><em>°</em>

In your BIO 111 course, you learn that human hair can vary in diameter, but one estimate of the average diameter is 50 microns o
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

5000 particles of size 10 nanometer should be stacked

Step-by-step explanation:

Average diameter of the of the human hair = 50 micron = 50 × 10⁻⁶ m

Now,

let the number of 10 nanometer i.e 10 × 10⁻⁹ m particle be 'n'

thus,

n × 10 × 10⁻⁹ m = 50 × 10⁻⁶ m

Therefore to find the number of 10 nanometer i.e 10 × 10⁻⁹ m particle,

n = \frac{50\times10^{-6}}{10\times10^{-9}}

or

n = 5000

Hence,

5000 particles of size 10 nanometer should be stacked
