Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 2x + 4 = 18

note the inverse of - 2 is - \frac{1}{2} not - 2

However , the first step is to isolate the term in x by subtracting 4 from both sides.

- 2x = 18 - 4 = 14 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 7

Shawna and amanda are selling pies for a school fundraiser. customers can buy cherry pies and pumpkin pies. shawna sold 1 cherry
Komok [63]
Let the cherry pies be c and the pumpkin pies be p:
Shawna: c + 3p = 55
Amanda: 3c + 3p = 69
We want to find the cost of c + p. To do this, the easiest way is to divide the second equation by 3:
(3c + 3p)/3 = 69/3
c + p = 23
Therefore, 1 cherry pie & 1 pumpkin pie cost $23.

Help asap! ill give the best to person who explains it clearly
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to find the area of circle using the formula :

A = π × r²

A = π × 3²

A = 9π

Given that PHU is an equilateral triangle so all sides have a degree of 60°. Next, you have to find the area of minor sector of P and U by using the formula :

A = (θ/360) × π × r²

A = (60/360) × π × 3²

A = 1.5π

Lastly, you have to subtract the area of sector from the area of circle in order to find the area of shaded region :

A = (9π × 2) - (1.5π × 2)

A = 18π - 3π

A = 15π
