Answer: x=500

Step-by-step explanation:

Twenty more (+20) of a fifth of a number (.2x) is equal to 120. So, the equation would be .2x+20=120. To isolate x, subtract 20 from each side. So now we have .2x=100. To get rid of the .2 or 1/5, we have to multiply everything by the reciprocal of 1/5, or 5. So, 100(5)=.2x(5), or simplified, x=500. Hope this helps!

Find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points.<br> 5. G(–3, 2), H(7, 2)
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

y=0x+2 meaning the slope is equal to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about this question you'll see that our two points have the same y coordinate

This means that the slope is equal to 0

so we have

y=0x+b  

If we plug in -3 for x and set the equation equal to 2 we can find b

0+b=2

b=2

so we have

0x+b=y

Mrs Lim packs 35 big and small bags of candies for her pupils. Each big bag contains 12 candies and each small bag contains 7 ca
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are x big-bags and y small-bags.

so now we can know:

(1) x + y = 35

(2) 12x + 7y = 300

in (1),we can do like this:

both left and right x7

then (x + y)x7 = 35 x 7

then 7x + 7y = 35 x 7  

then 7x + 7y = 245

now,

(1)7x + 7y =245

(2)12x + 7y = 300

we can both left and right do this: (2) - (1)

then

(12x + 7y) - (7x + 7y) = 300 -245

then

12x + 7y - 7x - 7y = 300 -245

then

12x - 7x +7y - 7y =300 -245

then

5x =55

then

5x ÷ 5 = 55 ÷ 5

then

x = 11

because

x + y =35;x=11

so

11 + y =35

11+ y -11 = 35 -11

then

y = 24

now we know:there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

Which of the following shows the factors of 9x2 + 3x - 2?
Paha777 [63]
C. (3x+1)(3x-2) 3x times 3x= 9x^2 and 3x times -1= -3x
2 times 3x= 6x and 2 times -1= -2
9x^2- 3x+6x-2
9x^2+3x-2
Hope I explain this more clearly for you.
