Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

-5( x + 3 ) = 20

Distributive property ( multiply whatever is in the parenthesis by -5)

-5 * x + -5 * 3 = 20

-5x - 15 = 20

Add 15 on both sides

-5x - 15 + 15 = 20 + 15

-5x = 35

Divide by -5 on both sides to isolate the variable

-5x/-5 = 35/-5

x = -7

Check...

Substitute the "x" with -7 since we already got that as our solution

-5( x + 3 ) = 20

-5( -7 + 3 ) = 20

Distributive property

-5 * -7 + -5 * 3 = 20

35 - 15 = 20

20 = 20 CORRECT

Hope this helped!

Answer:

90/23

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to start in the parentheses. 5-6=-1, then multiply it by -2. Since a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, -2*-1=2. -3^2=-9. 2+8=10. Then -9 times 10= -90. Then, we move on to the bottom. 5--2=7. 4^2=16, and -2(2)=-4. So -5(7) + 16-4=-23. Now, the equation should look like this, -90/-23. Put the negatives together and you get 90/23.

Answer:

33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers greater than 6 from the spinner are 7 and 8.

2 numbers out of total 6 numbers.

2/6 = 1/3

= 0.333

= 33.3%

The coordinates of rhombus ABCD are A(–4, –2), B(–2, 6), C(6, 8), and D(4, 0). What is the area of the rhombus? Round to the nea
a_sh-v [17]
Check the picture below.

so the rhombus has the diagonals of AC and BD, now keeping in mind that the diagonals bisect each, namely they cut each other in two equal halves, let's find the length of each.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
A(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad 
C(\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8})\qquad \qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{[6-(-4)]^2+[8-(-2)]^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{(6+4)^2+(8+2)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{10^2+10^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{10^2(2)}\implies \boxed{AC=10\sqrt{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
B(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad 
D(\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0})\qquad \qquad BD=\sqrt{[4-(-2)]^2+[0-6]^2}
\\\\\\
BD=\sqrt{(4+2)^2+(-6)^2}\implies BD=\sqrt{6^2+6^2}
\\\\\\
BD=\sqrt{6^2(2)}\implies \boxed{BD=6\sqrt{2}}

that simply means that each triangle has a side that is half of 10√2 and another side that's half of 6√2.

namely, each triangle has a "base" of 3√2, and a "height" of 5√2, keeping in mind that all triangles are congruent, then their area is,

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of the four congruent triangles}}{4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(3\sqrt{2})(5\sqrt{2}) \right]\implies 4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(15\cdot (\sqrt{2})^2) \right]}\implies 4\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(15\cdot 2) \right]
\\\\\\
4[15]\implies 60

Answer:

  • ∠QSR = 78°
  • ∠SQR = 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an inscribed angle (QTR) is half the measure of the arc it intercepts. The measure of an arc is the same as the measure of the central angle it intercepts. So, we have ...

  ∠QSR = 2×∠QTR

  ∠QSR = 2×39°

  ∠QSR = 78°

__

Sides SQ and SR are radii of circle S, so are the same length. That means triangle QRS is an isosceles triangle and the base angles SQR and SRQ are congruent. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so we have ...

  ∠QSR + 2(∠SQR) = 180°

  78° + 2(∠SQR) = 180° . . . . fill in the value we know

  2(∠SQR) = 102° . . . . . . . . . subtract 78°

  ∠SQR = 51° . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2
