6(x + -1) = 9(x + 2)
Reorder the terms:
6(-1 + x) = 9(x + 2)
(-1 * 6 + x * 6) = 9(x + 2)
(-6 + 6x) = 9(x + 2)
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6x = 9(2 + x)
-6 + 6x = (2 * 9 + x * 9)
-6 + 6x = (18 + 9x)
Solving
-6 + 6x = 18 + 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6x + -9x = 18 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 6x + -9x = -3x
-6 + -3x = 18 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
-6 + -3x = 18 + 0
-6 + -3x = 18
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -3x = 18 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -3x = 18 + 6
-3x = 18 + 6
Combine like terms: 18 + 6 = 24
-3x = 24
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -8

Answer:
£18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = original price of the game
Increase in price = 1/2
New price = £27
x + 1/2x = £27
2x+x/2 = 27
3/2x = 27
x = 27 ÷ 3/2
= 27 × 2/3
= 54 / 3
x = £18
Therefore, the original price of the game is £18
Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem, since the figure made with the ladder, building, and ground would make a right triangle. You are given the values 17ft and 8ft, which is enough to plug into the Pythagorean theorem.
The ladder, 17ft, would be the longest side (hypotenuse). The 8ft building would be one of the legs of the right triangle.
1. Plug your given values correctly into the Pythagorean Theorem.
2. Now solve for b, which is your unknown distance (the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the bottom of the building).
--> Square 8 and 17
--> Subtract 64 from both sides
--> Square root both sides to get b by itself
b = 15
3. The distance is 15 feet
*Note: to make solving this problem easier, try drawing out the given situation, namely the building and the ladder
Answer:
the area of the shape is 7.14
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the area of the square:
2 in x 2 in = 4 in
then to find the area of the semi- circles add them together to make a circle
To find the area of the circle, use:
pi x radius^2
Since the diameter is 2 divide the diameter by 2 to get radius
3.14 x 1^2 = 3.14
The circle is 3.14 plus 4 ( the square ) = 7.14
-5/3 can be turned to a mixed number =-1 2/3
So can 18/11 = 1 7/11
10/4 = 2 2/4 or 2 1/2 simplified
And -3/3 as 1
This may make it easier to graph own the number line
