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  .

Answer:

I think its +$14.58 a month

the second question I think is +$8.89 a month

Step-by-step explanation:

4% of 35000 equals 1400 in 8 years 12 months in a year times 8= 96 months 1400/96= $14.58 a month

960=2% of 48000

960 in 9 years 12 times 9= 108

960/108= 8.89

Find two numbers, if …Their sum is − 1/3 and their difference is 18
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x = 53/6 , y = -55/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

x+y = -1/3 ........... (1)

x-y = 18...............(2)

This is a simultaneous equation we will use elimination method.

Add equation 1 and 2

2x = 18 -  ⅓

2x = 17⅔

2x = 53/3

Multiply both sides by 3

6x = 53

Divide both sides by 6

x = 53/6

Put x = 53/6 into equation 1

x+y = -⅓

53/6  + y = - ⅓

y = -⅓ - 53/6

y = -55/6

Therefore x = 53/6 , y = -55/6

Fill in the missing statement and reason in the proof of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem.
AysviL [449]

∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent (vertical angles therorem).

∠EGB and ∠CHF are congruent by the Transitive Property of Equality

<h3>What is an angle?</h3>

An angle is formed by the intersection of two or more lines. Types of angles are acute, obtuse and right angled.

From the diagram:

∠EGB and ∠AGF are congruent (vertical angles therorem).

∠AGF and ∠CHF are corresponding and congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem

∠EGB and ∠CHF are congruent by the Transitive Property of Equality

Points S,U, and T are the midpoints of the sides of PQR. Which statements are correct ? 1/2QP=UT 1/2TS=RQ SU=PR SU||RP UT=RP
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2} QP = UT

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN : In ΔPQR

              S is the mid point of QP

              U is the mid point of PR

              T is the mid point of  QR

Solution :

i) is true i.e \frac{1}{2} QP = UT

Refer the attached file

By mid segment theorem i.e. In a triangle, the line joining the midpoints of any two sides will be parallel to the third side and that same line joining the midpoints is also half of length of third side .

UT is the line joining the two mid points . So, by theorem given above UT is parallel to PQ and  1/2QP=UT.

So, (i) statement is true i.e. \frac{1}{2} QP = UT
