The correct algebraic expression is X ÷ 5 - 17 = 41

<h3>What is an algebraic expression?</h3>

An algebraic expression is a term that refers to a way of representing mathematical operations in which letters and numbers are combined, related to signs of the operations such as:

Addition (+)
Subtraction (-)
Multiplication (×)
Division (÷)
Empowerment ( $x^{2}$ )

According to the above, we can infer that the correct algebraic expression would be:

X ÷ 5 - 17 = 41

In this algebraic expression the letter X represents a number that we do not know and we must find.

Both 2 and 5 are common factors of a number. The number in between 101 and 118. What is the number? Give a reason for your answe

Deffense [45]

110
2 and 5 are prime and thus share no common factors. The lowest common multiple of 2 and 5 is therefore 2 x 5 = 10.

Your answer must be a multiple of 10 and there is only one answer in that range that fits.

Double-check:
110 / 2 = 55 r. 0
110 / 5 = 22 r. 0

Find the distance between points P(2, 2) and Q(7, 4) to the nearest tenth.

kirill115 [55]

The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We have the points P(2, 2) ans Q(7, 4). Substitute:

$|PQ|=\sqrt{(7-2)^2+(4-2)^2}=\sqrt{5^2+2^2}=\sqrt{25+4}=\sqrt{29}\approx5.4$

<h3>Answer: PQ = 5.4</h3>

Assume that y varies directly with x. If y = -5 when

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Thus, the value of x = -36 when y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if y varies directly with x, we can express the relationship such as

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called constant of variation.

Given

y = -5

x = 12

Using the equation

k = y/x = -5/12

Thus, the value of k = -5/12

Finding x when y = 15

y = 15

k = -5/12

substituting y = 15 and k = -5/12 in the equation

y = kx

15 = -5/12 (x)

15×12 = -5x

180 = -5x

divding both sides by -5

-5x/-5 = 180/-5

x = -36

Thus, the value of x = -36 when y = 15
