Answer:
X = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 X (5X-8) = -9
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
2 X 1/2 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)
1 X (5X - 8) = 2 X (-9)
Reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor 2
5 x -8 = 2 x (-9)
5 x -8 = -18
Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides
5X -8 + 8=-18 + 8
Then eliminate the opposites
5X = -18 + 8
Calculate the sum
5X = -10
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
5X DIVIDE 5 = -10 DIVIDE BY 5
X = -10 DIVIDE BY 5
X = -2
So, the first thing we need to know is what is what.
So, A natural number is a whole number
A whole number is an integer
and An integer is a rational number.
Now, since there is a terminating decimal (a decimal that does not go on forever) we know it is a rational number.
Since there is a decimal, it cannot be an integer, therefore
It is a rational number
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
140 - 13 = 127
127 - 75 = 52
Check your work:
75 + 13 + 52
= 140
