<h3>hello!</h3>

Let's solve this equation.

Step 1

Move the numbers to the right:-

5x=2x-3-3

Step 2

Move the x's to the left

5x-2x=-3-3

Notice I use the opposite operation :)

Step 3

Combine like terms

3x=-6x

Step 4

Divide both sides by 3

x=-2

That's the value of x that makes the equation true.

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)

Partial qoutients 231÷11

marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find partial quotients of 231 ÷ 11

In other words the question asks: How many 11s are there in 231

First, there are twenty 11s in 220 i.e 20 × 11 = 220

Then, subtract 220 from 231 to get 11

Finally ask yourself: How many 11s are in eleven? Definitely its only one 11.

So there are 20 + 1 elevens in 231

Or, there are 21 elevens in 231

The equation mc024-1.jpg shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the su

lesya692 [45]

<span>Given that the equation T^2=A^3 shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, T, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, A, in astronomical units, AU.
i.e. $T= \sqrt{A^3}$

If planet Y is twice the mean distance from the sun as planet X,
i.e. $A_Y=2A_X$ ,
then,
$\frac{T_Y}{T_X} = \frac{\sqrt{(2A_X)^3}}{\sqrt{(A_X)^3}} = \frac{(2A_X)^3}{(A_X)^3} = \frac{8(A_X)^3}{(A_X)^3} =8$

Therefore, the orbital period increased by a factor of 2^3/2</span>
