-3(x + 5) = -9
-3x + -15 = -9
-3x - 15 = -9
-3x - 15 + 15 = -9 + 15 (we added 15 to both sides of the equation because now, the 15 on the left side cancels out).
-3x = 6
-3x/-3 = 6/-3
X = -2
So, in conclusion, X is equal to -2.
Answer:I onesly dont no
Sorry I have no friends
Step-by-step explanation:
This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.
Answer:
c. 6 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion is 1 cup of sugar for 1 dozen cookies (1/1). So if you multiply the denominator by 6 you must multiply the numerator by 6, and 6*1=6. Therefore you need 6 cups of sugar to make 6 dozen cookies.
Answer:
48°
Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle CYZ, angles Y and C are complementary, so ...
(5x +22) + (12x) = 90
17x +22 = 90
17x = 68
x = 4
The angle of interest is 12x° , so has measure
12·4° = 48°
