5x-1=19
1st you add the one over to the 19 and you'll get 20
then you do 5x=20
divide the 5x over to the 20 and your final answer is 4.

Ok so you have 5x-1=19
so remember you have to add 1 on both sides so when we add to the 1 it crosses out so now we add 1 to 19 which equals 20.after that we have to divide the 5x by 5 and then we cross it out so now we are left with 20 divided by 5 which equals 4.
Meaning it x=4

Thank you I hope you get it correct :)

Carol, Ann, and Liz each bought a toy fish. Carol's fish is 5 inches longer than Ann's fish. Liz's fish is 9 inches longer than

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The length of Ann's toy fish is 12 inches; the length of Carol's toy fish is 17 inches; and the length of Liz's toy fish is 33 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Carol's fish is c inches long, Ann's is a inches long, and Liz's is l inches long. Then:

c = 5 + a

l = 9 + 2a

a = 12

Plug 12 in for a to find c and l:

c = 5 + a = 5 + 12 = 17 inches

l = 9 + 2a = 9 + 2 * 12 = 9 + 24 = 33 inches

Thus:

The length of Ann's toy fish is 12 inches; the length of Carol's toy fish is 17 inches; and the length of Liz's toy fish is 33 inches.

A pitcher throws a 9 kg baseball in a straight line. Its momentum is 2.1 kg-m/s. What is the velocity of the

Zina [86]

Answer:

$0.23\:\mathrm{m/s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by $p=mv$ , where $m$ is the mass of the object and $v$ is the velocity of the object.

What we're given:

object's mass $m$
object's momentum $p$

Substituting given values, we can solve for $v$ :

$2.1=9v,\\v=\frac{2.1}{9}\approx \boxed{0.23\:\mathrm{m/s}}$

5x^(-2)-17x^(-1)+6<br> i’m so confused pls help<br> will give brainliest

laila [671]

It's a quadratic equation in disguise. If you let $y=x^{-1}$ , then $y^2=x^{-2}$ , and we can rewrite the equation as

$5y^2-17y+6=0$

Solve for $y$ however you like; we get $y=\dfrac25$ and $y=3$ .

But we want to solve for $x$ , so we have

$y=x^{-1}=\dfrac25\implies x=\dfrac52$

$y=x^{-1}=3\implies x=\dfrac13$
