Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3 - 2x = -1.5x

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 2x on both sides: 3 = 0.5x
Divide 0.5 on both sides: 6 = x
Rewrite: x = 6

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 3 - 2(6) = -1.5(6)
Multiply: 3 - 12 = -9
Subtract: -9 = -9

Here we see that -9 does indeed equal -9.

∴ x = 6 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

3-2x= -1.5x

-3 -3

-2x= -1.5x - 3

+1.5x +1.5x

-.5x= -3

divide both sides by -.5

x = 6

As his empire spread throughout the ancient world, Alexander founded roughly how many cities?

Studentka2010 [4]

About 70 Cities in Total.

For his more noteworthy grandness, Alexander established exactly 70 urban areas in the grounds he vanquished and requested them named after himself. Most celebrated, obviously, is Alexandria in Egypt. In India, when his dearest horse kicked the bucket, he requested a city to be constructed named Bucephala.

What is the midpoint

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

(0.5, -0.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a line segment on the graph with two known points (ending points) and we are to find its mid point.

We know the formula for the mid point:

$Midpoint = ( \frac {x_1 + x_2} {2} ,\frac {y_1 + y_2} {2} )$

Substituting the coordinates of the given points in the above formula:

Mid point = $(\frac {5 + (-4) } {2} , \frac { 6 + (-7)} {2} )$ = (0.5, -0.5)

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

In the figure below :

d = 2.08, e = 5, c = 5.42 , a = 22.78°, b = 67.22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Side lengths :

$2\cdot e=10\\ \Rightarrow e=5 feet\\\frac{d}{e}=\frac{5}{12}\\\Rightarrow d=\frac{25}{12}\approx 2.08 feet$

By pythagoras theorem,

$c^2=d^2+e^2\\c^2=29.33\\c\approx 5.42 feet$

Now to find angles,

$a+b+90^{\circ}=180^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow a+b=90^{\circ}\\\tan a=\frac{d}{e}\\\Rightarrow \tan a =0.42\\\Rightarrow a=22.78^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow b=67.22^{\circ}$

Find the 11th partial sum of the summation of negative 7i plus 22, from i equals 1 to infinity.

marta [7]

I think you mean,

$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}(7i+22)$

You can use the usual formula,

$S_{k}=\frac{k}{2}(a_1+a_k)$

That in this case is,

$S_{11}=\frac{11}{2}(29+99)=704$

Where I have used,

$a_k=7\cdot k +22$
