2. 6x = 24

3. x = 4

so; 5(4)-3 = 17 and 21-4=17

Which means 17+17 = QS

The value of x is 3 given that ST = 8x + 11 and TU = 12x-1

The point that bisects a line divides the line into two equal parts

If T is the midpoint of SU, the following are true:

ST = TU
ST + TU = SU

Given the following

ST = 8x + 11

TU = 12x-1

Since ST = TU

8x+11 = 12x-1

8x - 12x = -1 - 11

-4x = -12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3 given that ST = 8x + 11 and TU = 12x-1

What is the power of 10 when 0.000028 is written in scientific notation

Luden [163]

The power of 10 is -5

Move the decimal point to the right until the first significant number and in this problem it is 2. It took 5 places to the right until going past the 2 and the number would be negative because going right past the decimal point will make any power negative.
