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

Convert 83% into a decimal<br> can you guy help me to do that
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
To convert a percentage to decimal form, you need to divide the number in the percent by 100. In reality, that just looks like moving the decimal point to the left two places.

83% / 100 = 0.83

83% in decimal form is 0.83.
Hope that helped! =)

Find the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are given (3/5 , -6/7),(2/5,5/7)
snow_lady [41]

The formula of a midpoint between E and F:

M_{EF}\left(\dfrac{x_E+x_F}{2};\ \dfrac{y_E+y_F}{2}\right)

We have the points \left(\dfrac{3}{5},\ -\dfrac{6}{7}\right) and \left(\dfrac{2}{5},\ \dfrac{5}{7}\right). Substitute:

\dfrac{\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{5}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{5}{5}}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\dfrac{-\frac{6}{7}+\frac{5}{7}}{2}=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{7}}{2}=-\dfrac{1}{7}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}=-\dfrac{1}{14}

Answer: \boxed{\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\ -\dfrac{1}{14}\right)}

he measures of the angles of a triangle are (2x), (x + 14), and (x - 38). Determine the value of x and the measures of each of t
Olenka [21]

Answer:

<u>Value of x:</u>

x = 1

<u>Values of Each Side:</u>

(2x) Measure = 102

(x + 14) Measure = 65

(x - 38) Measure = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the measures of a triangle always add up to 180.

So to solve, we use the equation: (2x) + (x + 14) + (x - 38) = 180. To solve, first first combine like terms to get: 4x - 24 = 180. Now add 24 to both sides to get: 4x = 204. Now divide 4 from both sides to get: x = 51.

Now insert 51 for x in all the angles to get the final measures.

Hope it helps!
