Question

Solve negative 5 over 2, the whole multiplied by x minus 5 equals negative 55.

−20
−24
20
24

Answer 1

I picked 2nd one just wanna make sure its right

Answer 2

its either 2nd or third idk

Answer 3

Why the 3rd one?

Answer 4

i'll show you hold on

Answer 5

-(5/2)x -5 = -55
-(5/2)x -5 + 5 = -55 + 5
-(5/2)x = -50
-(5/2)x × 2 = -50 × 2
-5x = -100
x= -100 ÷ -5
x= 20

Answer 6

but then i looked at the question and saw that it said minus 5 and not negative 5

Answer 7

This is my work...

First we write out the equation
\[−5/2x−5=−55\]
+5 to both sides
\[−5/2x−5+5=−55+5\]\[−5/2x=−50\]
x both sides by 2/(-5)
\[(2−/5)*(−5/2x)=(2/-5)*(−50)\]

So yeah I think you're correct about option 3.

Answer 9

does that equation lead you to option 3?

Answer 10

Yes.

Answer 11

You're correct about option 3 :)

Answer 12

I found this guy online doing it a different way and he came up with a different answer. Can i copy and paste it here?

Answer 13

I was just confused by that.

Answer 14

Oh sure.

Answer 15

actually i'll send pic

Answer 16

i need to do something quickly brb

Answer 17

i'll keep question open. ill be back in like 5 mins

Answer 18

Ok.

I think that might have been a different problem or something because I think thats wrong.

Answer 19

Yeah, its probably wrong, because he wasn't adding both sides like how you were doing it

Answer 20

Yeah, so the correct answer has to be the 3rd option

Right?

Answer 21

i'll stay with your answer, thanks for your help!

Answer 22

yh it has to be

Answer 23

i have another question here thats a little confusing

Answer 24

Which statement is true for the equation 4x − 4x − 5 = −5?

It has no solution.
It has one solution.
It has two solutions.
It has infinitely many solutions.

Answer 25

I think its the last one

Answer 26

Ok so, \[4x−4x−5=−5\]
Simplify....
\[4x−4x−5=−5\]\[4x+−4x+−5=−5\]
Combine the like terms
\[(4x+−4x)+(−5)=−5\]\[−5=−5\]
\[−5+5=−5+5\]

So what do you think the answer is?

Answer 27

the last one because 4xs cancel themselves out

Answer 28

your left with -5=-5

Answer 29

Yeah, I think so too.

Good luck! :)

Answer 30

Thank you!

Answer 31

Np!

Answer 32

Alec calculated the slope of line AC between points A and B. Avis calculated the slope of line AC between points B and C. Both Alec and Avis drew triangles, as shown below, to calculate the slopes:

A graph shows numbers from 0 to 18 on the x axis at increments of 2 and the numbers 0 to 6 on the y axis at increments of 1. A line AC is drawn that joins the ordered pairs 0, 0 and 18, 6.The ordered pair 6, 2 is labeled as B. A right triangle is drawn with AB as hypotenuse and height 2 units. Another right triangle is drawn with BC as the hypotenuse and height 4 units.

Which statement is correct about the slopes calculated by Alec and Avis if both calculated the slopes accurately?

Both calculated the slope as 3.
Both calculated the slope as 1 over 3.
Alec calculated the slope as 1 over 3 and Avis calculated it as 3.
Alec calculated the slope as 3 and Avis calculated it as 1 over 3.

I'll include pic if i can

Answer 33

I know how to calculate slopes, but i'm confused here

Answer 34

do i get the slope of the first triangle then simplify it?

Answer 35

and do the same with the other one?

Answer 36

i would get 3 for both

Answer 37

To find slope you have to you divide the difference of the y-coordinates from 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points

Answer 38

which two points do i have to divide here?

Answer 39

@jhonyy9

Answer 40

i'm thinking its the second one

Answer 41

Ricky needs $45 to buy a jacket. He has saved $15 and plans to work as a babysitter to earn $5 per hour. Which inequality shows the minimum number of hours, n, that Ricky should work as a babysitter to earn enough to buy the jacket?

5n ≥ 45 + 15, so n ≥ 12
5n ≤ 45 + 15, so n ≤ 12
15 + 5n ≥ 45, so n ≥ 6
15 + 5n ≤ 45, so n ≤ 6

Answer 42

i picked third, wanted to make sure its right

Answer 43

i got the slope one right it was the second one

Answer 44

Ok good job! This one is easy, what do you think?

btw not D.

Answer 45

I was thinking c?

Answer 46

Yeah same.

Answer 47

If a sprinkler waters 1 over 18 of a lawn in 1 over 3 of an hour, how much time will it take to water the entire lawn?

6 hours
9 hours
18 hours
21 hours

Answer 48

i picked a

Answer 49

I think ur right

Sry i was afk

Answer 50

It's alright

Answer 51

ok thanks. You got any more?

Answer 52

Which unit rate is the lowest price per ounce?

Choice A: 5 ounces of raisins for $1.49

Choice B: 12 ounces of raisins for $3.69

Choice A
Choice B
The unit rates are equal.
The unit rates cannot be determined.

This has to be a right?

Answer 53

I have a few more

Answer 54

@supie is this A?

Answer 55

I divided 1.49 by 5

Answer 56

I think so...

Answer 57

and 3.69 by 12

Answer 58

Yeah so, it has to be A.

I agree.

Answer 59

A theater company charges $10.50 per ticket for people of all age groups. If c represents the total number of children who bought tickets and a represents the total number of adults who bought tickets, which expression best represents the total money earned by the company from the sale of tickets?

10.5c + a
c + 10.5a
10.5(c + a)
21(c + a)

Answer 60

this is another one, i picked c

Answer 61

Yeah C sounds right...

Answer 62

its 10.50/person so yeah \[10.50 * (15 + 4)\]

Answer 63

true

Answer 64

ill pick that

Answer 65

The price of tomatoes at a farm is $0.54 per pound. Which equation can be used to determine c, the total price of n pounds of tomatoes?

c = 0.54n
c = 0.54 over n
c = 0.54 + n
c = 0.54 − n

Answer 66

i picked the first one

Answer 67

it makes the most sense right?

Answer 68

Yeah, the first one has to be correct.

Answer 69
