Answer: 1/10 or 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

    -(-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4)

      7 + 4x = -6x + 8

   * subtract 7 from both sides

            4x = -6x + 1

   * Add 6x to both sides

           10 x = 1

   * Divide both sides by 10

             x = 1/10  or 0.10

Well, you’re going to start by simplifying each side of the equation.

This step makes sure that you know to distribute the negative.

-5x + [-(-7-4x)] = -2(3x-4)

Continue to simplify. Start by distributing across the parentheses.

-5x+(7+4x)= -6x+8
-5x+4x+7= -6x+8
-x+7=-6x+8

Once you can’t simplify either side any more, you try and isolate the variable onto one side.

-x+7=-6x+8
+x. +x
________
7=-5x+8

Then isolate the constants into one side.

7=-5x+8
-8. -8
______
-1=-5x

Then make sure you have the variable being multiplied only once.

-1= -5x
—. —
-5. -5

0.2=x

And then move your variable to the left.

x=0.2

The value of x that makes the equation true is 0.2


I hope that helps!!

Pls help find shaded area
Pavlova-9 [17]
<h3>Exact area = 12pi - 9*sqrt(3)  square inches</h3><h3>Approximate area = 22.1106545749577 square inches</h3>

==========================================================

Work Shown:

Assuming the chord is horizontal along with the diameter, then this means the two smallest minor arcs are both 30 degrees each. This leaves the northern most arc to be 180-30-30 = 120 degrees in measure

A = area of northern sector (you can think of it as a pizza slize)

A = (angle/360)*pi*r^2

A = (120/360)*pi*6^2

A = 12pi

B = area of triangle

B = (1/2)*side1*side2*sin(included angle)

B = (1/2)*6*6*sin(120)

B = 18*sqrt(3)/2

B = 9*sqrt(3)

C = area of shaded region

C = A - B

C = 12pi - 9*sqrt(3)  .... exact area

C = 22.1106545749577 ... use a calculator to get the approximate area

Qu2.05 ML<br> Solve for x: 5|2x - 2] + 8 = 18.
Luda [366]

Answer:

512x−2+8=18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

512x−2+8=18

512x+−2+8=18

(512x)+(−2+8)=18(Combine Like Terms)

512x+6=18

512x+6=18

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.

512x+6−6=18−6

512x=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 512.

512x512=12/512

x= 3/128

Answer:

x=3/128
