Answer:

x = -10

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                                   36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60
  2. Combine like terms:                   -4.5x + 72 = -7.5x + 42
  3. Add 7.5x on both sides:             3x + 72 = 42
  4. Subtract 72 on both sides:        3x = -30
  5. Divide 3 on both sides:              x = -10

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    4.5(8 - -10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
  2. Simplify:                               4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
  3. Multiply:                               4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-30 + 24)
  4. Add:                                     4.5(18) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-6)
  5. Multiply:                               81 + 36 = 102 + 15
  6. Add:                                     117 = 117

Here we see that 117 does indeed equal to 117.

∴ x = -10 is a solution of the equation.

Solve for X. 20 points !!!!
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

4) x = - 12

5) x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4)

Since points T and S are mid points of sides ML and MN of triangle MLN.

Therefore, by mid point theorem,

TS is half of LN

so,

x + 26 =  \frac{1}{2} (x + 40) \\  \\ 2(x + 26) =x + 40 \\  \\ 2x + 52 = x + 40 \\  \\ 2x - x = 40 - 52 \\  \\ x =  - 12

5) In the same way x = 4 will be the correct answer in question number 5.

Least to greatest √5,-2.1,0.5,-0.5,5/100
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: -2.1, -0.5, 5/100, 0.5, √5

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the negative numbers. Take the absolute value - the ones with the largest absolute value are the farthest from 0, so they are the smallest numbers.

-2.1, -0.5

Then, convert the numbers not in decimals to decimals.

5/100 = 0.05

√5 is about 2.3.

5/100, 0.5, √5
