5n + (-6) = -2
add 6 to -2
5n = -2 + 6
5n = 4
divide both sides by 5
n = 4/5

Let' call the number 'M' for 'mystery number'.

The number . . . . .  M

Five times the number . . .  5 M

The sum of 5 times the number and  -6 . . .  5 M - 6

You said that's  -2 .  So I can write

                                         5 M - 6  =  -2

Add  6  to each side:      5 M       =   4

Divide each side by  5 :     M       =  4/5   or   0.8  .

Write a point slope equation for -5/7 using the coordinates (6,2)
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

(13, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = -5/7

(6,2)  

m = ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1 )

-5/7 = ( y2 - 2) / ( x2 - 6 )

   

    -5 = y2 -2

        +2        +2

        -3 = y2


      7 = x2 - 6

    +6         +6

      13 = x2


Check answer again by log them in:

m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

m = ( -3 - 2 ) / ( 13 - 6 )

m = -5 / 7


I hope this helps!

what is the value of x in the diagram below? if necessary round your answer to the nearest tenth of a until
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate AC using Pythagoras' identity in ΔABC

AC² = 20² - 12² = 400 - 144 = 256, hence

AC = \sqrt{256} = 16

Now find AD² from ΔACD and ΔABD

ΔACD → AD² = 16² - (20 - x)² = 256 - 400 + 40x - x²

ΔABD → AD² = 12² - x² = 144 - x²

Equate both equations for AD², hence

256 - 400 + 40x - x² = 144 - x²

-144 + 40x - x² = 144 - x² ( add x² to both sides )

- 144 + 40x = 144 ( add 144 to both sides )

40x = 288 ( divide both sides by 40 )

x = 7.2 → C

The area of square: s · s = s²

The area of rectangle: (s + 6) · s = s(s + 6)

So:

s² + s(s + 6) = 56

s² + s(s + 6) - 56 = 0

Erica can paint her room 5 hours .If she had her friend Rachel help her , they can paint the room together in 3 hours .How long
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room
