Solve for P:

9(p−4)=−18

Please Explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Happy to help.

When we have numbers in parenthesis, we generally want to deal with those first. However, we can hit a rough patch when a variable is in there. Consider this:

2(3 + 4) = 2(7), or 14.

But, the two can also be distributed into both numbers in the parenthesis, like this:

2(3 + 4) = 2*3 + 2*4

That leaves us with the same answer—14! We can apply this to a variable, and that will help us figure out 9(p - 4), or the left side of your equation you presented.

9(p - 4) = -18

9*p - 9*4 = -18

9p - 36 = -18

Add 36 on both sides to isolate the variable (in this case, p)

9p = -18 + 36

You can also write it like this; 9p = 36 - 18

9p = 18

Divide 9 to isolate p

p = 2

So, we would get (p = 2). Make sure to practice a few more questions like these to really get the hang of it—you'll be using this a lot in the future!

Good luck!

Answer:

NO Slope

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of the line passing through the points (5, 4) and (5, -5)

slope = y2 - y1   =    -5 - 4   = -9

            x2 - x1           5 - 5          0

Answers

Answer:

$60.75

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) In the State of Michigan there is a 6% sales tax, so if you purchase a
new pair of shoes for $75 how would you set up the ratio to calculate your
tax? *​

Answers

Answer:

1:0.06

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is a 6% sales tax, which is the same as 0.06. to calculate your tax, you would multiply both of the sides of the ratio by 75, and the left side will show you subtotal of what you are buying, the right will show tax.

Don't know how to express the value of X as any of those answer choices

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = √(w(w+z))

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea with a right-triangle figure of this sort is that all of the triangles are similar. Here, x is the short side of ∆ABC, and the hypotenuse of ∆BDC. This suggests you want to write a similarity statement involving the short side and hypotenuse.

  BC/AC = DC/BC . . . . . short side/hypotenuse

  BC² = AC·DC . . . . . . cross multiply

  x² = (w+z)w . . . . . . substitute letter values

Taking the square root and rearranging to the form of the applicable answer choice, this is ...

  [tex]\boxed{x=\sqrt{w(w+z)}}[/tex]

Tickets to a concert cost $50 for each orchestra seat and $40 for each
balcony seat. If 1,500 tickets were sold to earn $69,000, how many
orchestra-seat tickets were sold?
A
600
B 750
h
900
1,380

Answers

Answer:

H. the number of orchestra seat is 900

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

let the number of orchestra seat be x

and balcony seat be y

cost of orchestra= $50 each

cost of balcony =$40 each

total tickets= 1500

x+y= 1500----------1

amount earned= $69000

50x+40y=69000--------2

The system of equation for the situation is

x+y= 1500----------1

50x+40y=69000--------2

from 1, x=1500-y

put this in equation 2

50(1500-y)+40y=69000

75000-50y+40y=69000

-10y=69000-75000

-10y=-6000

divide both sides by -10

y=-6000/-10

y=600

put y= 600 in equation 1

x+600= 1500

x=1500-600

x=900

K=m-n÷y (make y the subject)​

Answers

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{n}{K - m}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing problems like these, you should go through the process like using PEMDAS:

P - Parenthesis ()

E - Exponents [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

M - Multiply x

D - Division ÷

A - Addition +

S - Subtraction -

1) Since there aren't any Parentheses, or exponents, we should then check for any use of Multiplication.

As shown, there are no shown methods of multiplying.

BUT there is Division, so we will do the opposite of division, which is multiplication.

K = m - n ÷ y

y(K = m - n ÷ y)y

^ Trying to multiply 'y' onto both sides, because when you do something to one side, you do to the other. ^

'y' then cancels out on one side, so you will be left with:

= m - n

But on the other side you will have:

Ky

So your problem will look like:

Ky = m - n

2) Since we are trying to get 'y' by itself, instead of multiplying now, we will be dividing, because:

K(y) = Ky  or you can also say K x y = Ky

Back to the problem, we will now divide 'K' to both sides, as stated before:

What you do to one side, you do to the other:

[tex]\frac{Ky}{K} = \frac{m - n}{K}[/tex]

'K' will cancel out on one side:

[tex]\frac{Ky}{K} = y[/tex]

Leaving you with:

'y'

While the other side, will be left as:

[tex]\frac{m - n}{K}[/tex]

So your final answer will be:

[tex]y=\frac{m - n}{K}[/tex]
