Answer:
litrally I don't understand what you are telling
I subtract 2x to 8x that is equal to 6x; then I subtract 10 from right to left. So 94-10 equal 84. Now you got 6x=84, divide 6 both side and you got the answer.
The answer is x= 14
Answer:
x = 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 secants intersecting the circle from a point outside the circle then
The product of the external part and the entire part of one secant is equal to the product of the external part and the entire part of the other secant, that is
x(x + 14) = 6(6 + 12)
x² + 14x = 6 × 18 = 108 ( subtract 108 from both sides )
x² + 14x - 108 = 0 ← in standard form
with a = 1, b = 14 and c = - 108
Using the quadratic formula to solve for x
x = ( - b ±
) / 2a
= ( - 14 ±
) / 2
= ( - 14 ±
) / 2
= ( - 14 ±
) / 2
x =
or x = 
x = - 19.5 or x = 5.5 ( to 1 dec. place )
However x > 0 ⇒ x = 5.5
Answer: the cost of each pencil is $0.5
the cost of each eraser is $0.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one pencil.
Let y represent the cost of one eraser.
Becky spent $1.45 for 2 pencils and 3 erasers. This means that
2x + 3y = 1.45- - - - - - - - - -1
Luke spent $2.65 for 5 pencils and 1 eraser. This means that
5x + y = 2.65- - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
2x + 3y = 1.45
15x + 3y = 7.95
Subtracting, it becomes
- 13x = - 6.5
x = - 6.5/- 13
x = 0.5
Substituting x = 0.5 into equation 2, it becomes
5 × 0.5 + y = 2.65
2.5 + y = 2.65
y = 2.65 - 2.5
y = 0.15
1 km = 0.62137... mile (rounded)
7 km = 4.3296... miles (rounded)
