Hi there!

\large\boxed{x = -3}

Begin by distributing the 5:

5(2x) + 5(-12) = -90

Simplify:

10x - 60 = -90

Add 60 to both sides:

10x = -90 + 60

10x = -30

Divide both sides by 10:

x = -3

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

~

First, divide 5 from both sides of the equation:

5(2x - 12) = -90

(5(2x - 12))/5 = (-90)/5

2x - 12 = -90/5

2x - 12 = -18

Next, add 12 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 12 (+12) = -18 (+12)

2x = -18 + 12

2x = -6

Finally, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(2x)/2 - (-6)/2

x = -6/2

x = -3

-3 is your answer for x.

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a mixture is 0.31 atm.
juin [17]

Answer:

P_{Co2}= X_{Co2} P_{tot}

Where P_{tot} represent the total pressure and X_{Co2} the fraction of carbon dioxide is 0.46 and we can find the total pressure with this formula:

P_{tot}= \frac{P_{Co2}}{X_{Co2}}

And replacing we got:

P_{tot}= \frac{0.31 atm}{0.46}= 0.674 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case the partial presure of carbon dioxide is given by:

P_{Co2}= X_{Co2} P_{tot}

Where P_{tot} represent the total pressure and x_{Co2} the fraction of carbon dioxide is 0.46 and we can find the total pressure with this formula:

P_{tot}= \frac{P_{Co2}}{X_{Co2}}

And replacing we got:

P_{tot}= \frac{0.31 atm}{0.46}= 0.674 atm
