Answer:

5 * 2 - 8 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

so first things first we are going to multiply 5 by 2 (because of order of operations) which equals:

5 * 2 = 10

We are then going to subtract 8 from 10 to get:

10 - 8 = 2

so in this equation it would look like this:

5 * 2 - 8 =

5 * 2 = 10 =

10 - 8 = 2

So your answer is 2

An area of 3.5m² is the same as 350000mm². True or false. Justify your answer

Vsevolod [243]

No, because to convert meter to millimeter you'll have to multiply the length value by 1000 which will give you 3500.

3.5 × 1000

= 3500.

have a great day!

10x-5 9x+2 is my equation and I don’t know how to solve it I really need help,someone please help me solve it.

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You solve a linear equation by putting the variable on one side of the equal sign and a constant on the other side. Here, variables and constants are on both sides of the equal sign, so you need to separate them.

The basic idea is that you add the opposite of any term you don't want. Whenever you perform any operation (like "add"), you must do it to both sides of the equation.

We observe that x-terms have coefficients of 10 and 9. We choose to add the opposite of 9x to both sides:

10 -9x -5 = 9x -9x +2

x -5 = 2 . . . . simplify

Now, we still have -5 on the left, where we don't want it. So, we add its opposite (+5) to both sides:

x -5 +5 = 2 +5

x = 7 . . . . simplify

The solution is x = 7.

Additional comment

If we were to end up with an x-coefficient other than 1, we would divide both sides of the equation by that coefficient. This will leave the x-term with a coefficient of 1.

Research suggest that people are less likely to become repeat offenders if they stay out of the prison system. Why do you think

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Yes prison breeds criminal minds

Step-by-step explanation:

When you send a person to a house filled with just criminals they will just become more criminal minded. If they spend a long time in the prison system too the person will forget how life outside was. It will be like sending a child into the outside world except with a ton of knowledge on how to rob and stuff like that.The american prison system is one of the shadiest systems to be created in my opinion.Its a system built for you to come back over and over.Usually when you get out u have less opportunities for a job.Forget about having a career if you went to prison for literally anything.Your family might disown you or forget you. Its just heartbreaking to see prisoners come out of jail just to have even less opportunity to change their life than before they went. It will get to a point where you need to do crime to survive or live comftorably on the outside world. The american prison system is just built to get revenge on someone and ruin their whole life. I know some European countries have an amazing prison system where they fix you and give you opportunities to become better. Thing is in america we dont want to help the guy that scammed or killed a friend of ours. We just end up hoping their life is miserable and thats our prison system.Its absolutely disgusting.Instead of heavily punishing these people and sending them into the world without help. We should help them and make them better people for our society.Im sorry if this is very disorganized and hard to understand i just wrote what my mind blurted into this keyboard

PLEASE HELP IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! Last year, James earned £1,600 per month.

True [87]

Answer: £11.69

Explanation:

1) Work out 2% of £1600:
1600 x 2/100 =36

2) Add it on to the original number to get his new monthly pay:
1600 + 36 = £1636

3) Work out his yearly pay by:

a) finding the amount of months he worked:
46 / 4 = 11.5 months

b) Divide 11.5 into 2 bits and add them on:
1636 x 11 = 17997
1636 x 0.5 = 818

17997 + 818 = £18814

4) To get his pay per week:

18814 / 46 = £409

5) Finally, to get his pay per hour:

409 / 35 = 11.68671...
= £ 11.69
