how do you simplify an expression like -3x + 15 - 8x? do you combine like terms and if so, how?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

so, with terms like -3x and -8x remember to keep the negative or positive sign the same when combining like terms.

in this instance the simplified expression would be:

15 - 11x

because -3x - 8x = -11x

does this make sense? lmk if u need help

Quadrilateral BCDE is inscribed in circle A. The measure of ⏜ is 73°. The measure of ⏜ is 53° and the measure of ⏜ is 102°.


Determine the measure of ∠ BCD.

Answers

Answer:

117

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle BCD intercepted arc is Arc DEB.

We know DE measure but we need to find EB measure.

Since a circle circumference add up to 360, we can add all of the known arcs up to 360 to find the missing arc.

[tex]73 + 53 + 102 + x = 360[/tex]

[tex]126 + 102 + x = 360[/tex]

[tex]228 + x = 360[/tex]

[tex]x = 132[/tex]

So arc EB measure 132.

Arc eb and de.

132+102=234.

Angle BCD is inscribed angle of Arc DEB, so that means angle BCD is half of Arc DEB.

[tex] \frac{234}{2} = 117[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

If your trying to find w then it'll be 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3w - 10 > -4

      +10    +10

3w > 6

3       3

w > 2

So I added 10 on both sides and guess positive 10 is bigger than -4, it'll be a positive 6. Then I divide 3 on both sides after I got 6 and thats how I got 2

What is the difference in area between a circle with a diameter of 3 meters and a square with a side length of 3 meters? Use 3.14 for pie.

pls help me​

Answers

Answer:

The area of a circle with a diameter of 3 meters:

A = πr² = π(d/2)² = 3.14(3/2)² = 7.065 m²

The area of a square with a side length of 3 meters:

A = a² = 3² = 9 m²

The difference:

9 - 7.065 = 1.935 m²

The square has greater area by 1.935 m²

Answer:

the difference in area between a circle with a diameter of 3 meters and a square with a side length of 3 meters=d²-π/4d²

=3²-3.14/4×3²=1.935m²

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, TS = 65, UT = 56, and SU = 33. What ratio represents the cosine of ∠S?

Answers

Answer:

33/65

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

∠U=90°,

TS = 65 = HYpotenuse

UT = 56 = Opposite

SU = 33 = Adjacent

Cos <S = adj/hyp

Cos <S = SU/TS

Cos <S = 33/65

Hence the required ratio is 33/65

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

11x − 2x + 15 = 8 + 7 + 9x

Step 1:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

11x − 2x + 15 = 8 + 7 + 9x

11x + −2x + 15 = 8 + 7 + 9x

( 11x + −2x ) + ( 15 ) = ( 9x ) + ( 8 + 7 )

( Combine Like Terms )

9x + 15 = 9x + 15

9x + 15 = 9x + 15

Step 2:

Subtract 9x from both sides.

9x + 15 − 9x = 9x + 15 − 9x

15 = 15

Step 3:

Subtract 15 from both sides.

15 − 15 = 15 − 15

0 = 0
