First you want to use the distributive property. So, $9*p-(9*4)=-18$ . Which equals $9p-36=-18$ . Next use the addition property of equality to make your first step to isolate variable p. Which equals $9p-36+36=-18+36$ . Then simplify the equation down to $9p=18$ . Lastly, is the division property of equality $(9p)/9=18/9$ . Once again simplify to $p=2$ . Always make sure to pull your answer back into the original equation to see if the answer is correct.

$9(2-4)=-18$

$9(-2)=-18$

$-18=-18$

Step-by-step explanation:

9(p-4) = -18

9p - 36 = -18

9p = -18 + 36

9p = 18

p= 18/9

p = 2

Check:

9 ( 2 - 4 ) = - 18

9 (-2) = - 18

- 18 = - 18

Answer:

970

Step-by-step explanation:

It turns out that the radical terms cancel, so the result is an integer. You can find the integer value using your calculator. It is ...

(5 +2√6)³ +1/(5 +2√6)³ = 970

_____

The cube of 'a' is ...

(5+2√6)³ = 5³ +3·5²·2√6 +3·5·(2√6)² +(2√6)³

= 125 +3·50√6 +3·120 +48√6

a³ = 485 +198√6

The reciprocal of this is ...

b³ = 1/a³ = 1/(485 +198√6) = (485 -198√6)/(485² -6·198²) = (485 -198√6)/1

b³ = 485 -198√6

Then the sum is ...

a³ +b³ = (485 +198√6) +(485 -198√6) = 970

Please help me I need this ASAP (5.6) times 1/8

Triss [41]

Answer:

7/10 or 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step that you need to do is to convert 5.6 to a fraction. 5.6 can be rewritten as $\frac{56}{10}$ , which is equal to $\frac{28}{5}$ .To multiply two fractions together, you simply need to multiply together the numerators and then the denominators. $\frac{28}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{8}=\frac{28}{40}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7$ . Hope this helps!
