Answer:

You need to simplify 0.3(12x + -16) = 0.4(12 + -3x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reorder the terms:

0.3(-16 + 12x) = 0.4(12 + -3x) (-16 * 0.3 + 12x * 0.3) = 0.4(12 + -3x) (-4.8 + 3.6x) = 0.4(12 + -3x) -4.8 + 3.6x = (12 * 0.4 + -3x * 0.4) -4.8 + 3.6x = (4.8 + -1.2x)

Solving -4.8 + 3.6x = 4.8 + -1.2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1.2x' to each side of the equation. -4.8 + 3.6x + 1.2x = 4.8 + -1.2x + 1.2x

Combine like terms: 3.6x + 1.2x = 4.8x -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + -1.2x + 1.2x

Combine like terms: -1.2x + 1.2x = 0.0 -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 0.0 -4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 Add '4.8' to each side of the equation. -4.8 + 4.8 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8

Combine like terms: -4.8 + 4.8 = 0.0 0.0 + 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8 4.8x = 4.8 + 4.8

Combine like terms: 4.8 + 4.8 = 9.6 4.8x = 9.6 Divide each side by '4.8'. x = 2

Simplifying x = 2

Answer:

  about 9.80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of half the segment (h) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

  h² +5² = 7²

  h² = 7² -5² = 49 -25 = 24

  h = √24 = 2√6

This is half the segment length, so the whole segment length is ...

  L = 2h = 2(2√6)

  L = 4√6 ≈ 9.7980

The length of the segment is 4√6 ≈ 9.80 cm.

SUBTRACT 39 FROM 16 RAISED TO THE 7TH POWER, THEN MULTIPLY BY 3
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

I assume you mean 3(16^7-39)?

16^7 is 268435456

268435456-39 is 268435417

268435417 multiplied by 3 is 805306251

Hope this helped.
