Answer:

$\large\boxed{B)\ -\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-(-6x-5)=4(5x+3)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\-(-6x)-(-5)=(4)(5x)+(4)(3)\\\\6x+5=20x+12\qquad\text{subtrac 5 from both sides}\\\\6x=20x+7\qquad\text{subtract 20x from both sides}\\\\-14x=7\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-14)}\\\\x=-\dfrac{7}{14}\\\\x=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

1 point<br> Solve: 0.75 (x + 200) = 150.5 (2 – 28)<br> type your answer...

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

$\huge \: x = - 5417.33$

Step-by-step explanation:

$0.75 (x + 200) = 150.5 (2 – 28) \\$

<u>Expand the terms and simplify</u>

That's

$0.75x + 150 = 301 - 4214 \\ 0.75x + 150 = - 3913$

Subtract 150 from both sides of the equation

$0.75x + 150 - 150 = - 3913 - 150 \\ 0.75x = - 4063$

<u>Divide both sides by 0.75</u>

$\frac{0.75x}{0.75} = - \frac{4063}{0.75} \\ x = - 5417.333333$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Which operation could we perform in order to find the number of milliseconds in a year? 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 365 1000 * 60 * 60 *

Tom [10]

Use the following abbreviations:
y = year,
d = day,
h = hour,
min = minute,
s = second,
ms = millisecond.

Then
$1 \, y = (1 \, y)*(365 \, \frac{d}{y} )*(24 \, \frac{h}{d} )*(60 \, \frac{min}{h} )*(60 \, \frac{s}{min} )*(1000 \, \frac{ms}{s} )$

Therefore, the correct calculation is
1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365

Answer: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365
