Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+2(5x+18)=-4

The first thing you would have to do is distribute the positive 2 with 5x and 18 so that means you would multiply those two number inside the parenthesis.

-2x+ 10x+ 36=-4 2(5x)=10x 2(18)=36

Now you combined like terms on the other side of the -4. So since -2x and 10x are like terms because of the variables you would do -2x+10x=8x. So now your equation is 8x+36=-4. So now you want you x by itself so you would subtract 36 on both sides so positive 36 subtracted by 36 is 0 now you subtract 36 to -4 so that equals -40 because you did -4-36=-40. So now you have 8x=-40 so now you divide both sides by 8x so -40/8=-5

x=-5

Lynette has a metal doorstop with the dimensions shown.

Cerrena [4.2K]

Volume = 105in³

Mass = 871.5g

To find the volume of the metal we can find the area of a base, and multiply it by the prism's width.

The base is 30cm in area, and the width is 3.5cm, which makes the volume 105in³

The mass of the doorstop can be found by just multiplying the grams per cubic centimeter by the volume, which would be 871.5g

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Margin of error of 0.0485 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

$\sigma = 0.35, n = 220$

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 1.96\frac{0.35}{\sqrt{200}}$

$M = 0.0485$

Margin of error of 0.0485 hours.

Firlakuza [10]

Part 1) Find the measures of angle BGE
we know that
The inscribed angle measures half of the arc it comprises.
so
angle BGE=(1/2)*[arc EB]

Part 2) Find the angle BDG
we know that
The measure of the external angle is the semi-difference of the arcs that it covers.
so
angle BDG=(1/2)*[arc GEB-arc GB]
