What is two-thirds of a number minus six is -10

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Lets call the number "x"
2/3x - 6=-10
Add 6 to both sides
+6 +6
2/3x=-4
Divide by 2/3 on both sides
-4 divided by 2/3 is
-8/3
x = -8/3 or -2 2/3
The number is -2 2/3.

The answer to your question is:
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..

Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:

3x² - 2x - 5 = 0

In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5

Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that

x = -1
and
x = ⁵/₃

$3x^2-2x-5=0$

$(3x-5)(x+1) = 0$

$3x-5=0$

$3x=5$

$x= (5)/(3)$

$x+1 =0$

$x=-1$

$x=-1, (5)/(3)$

Nhan is getting dressed. He considers two different shirts, three pairs of pants, and three pairs of shoes. He Chooses one of each of the articles at randon. What is the probability that he will wear his jeans but not his sneakers?

Answers

Question Continuation

Shirt: Collared, T-shirt

Pants: Khakis, Jeans, Shorts

Shoes: Sneakers, Flip-Flops, Sandals

Answer:

The probability that he will wear his jeans but not his sneakers = 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shirt: Collared, T-shirt

Pants: Khakis, Jeans, Shorts

Shoes: Sneakers, Flip-Flops, Sandals

First, we need to list out the sample space.

The sample space is the list of all possible dress combination.

With assumption that he must pick one from each category, the sample space represented by S is as follows;

S = { Collared/Khakis/Sneakers, Collared/Khakis/Flip-flops, Collared/Khakis/Sandals, Collared/Jeans/Sneakers, Collared/Jeans/Flip-flops, Collared/Jeans/Sandals,

Collared/Shorts/Sneakers, Collared/Shorts/Flip-flops, Collared/Shorts/Sandals,

T-shirt/Khakis/Sneakers, T-shirt/Khakis/Flip-flops, T-shirt/Khakis/Sandals, T-shirt/Jeans/Sneakers, T-shirt/Jeans/Flip-flops, T-shirt/Jeans/Sandals,

T-shirt/Shorts/Sneakers, T-shirt/Shorts/Flip-flops, T-shirt/Shorts/Sandals}

Total Possible Outcome = 18

Let J represent the outcome that he wears Jean but not sneakers

J = {Collared/Jeans/Flip-flops, Collared/Jeans/Sandals,

T-shirt/Jeans/Flip-flops, T-shirt/Jeans/Sandals,

}

Total Possible Outcome of Jean without sneakers = 4

The probability that he will wear his jeans but not his sneakers is given by (Total Possible Outcome of Jean without sneakers) ÷ (Total Possible Outcome)

The probability that he will wear his jeans but not his sneakers = 4/18

The probability that he will wear his jeans but not his sneakers = 2/9

1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 = 1. He chose 1 out of the 3 pairs of pants. and 2 out of three chance of not wearing his shoes.

Find the area of the trapezoid.

Answers

The top base is : 14mm
The bottom base is: 36mm
The height is: 15mm

First you need to add the top and bottom bases together and divide it by 2

(14mm + 36mm) / 2
= 50mm/2
=25mm

Then you need to times it by the height

25mm x 15mm = 375mm^2

The area of any trapezoid is

(1/2) (height) (sum of the bases) .

For the trapezoid in the picture:

The height = 15 mm
One base = 14 mm
The other base = 36 mm

-- Add the two bases.
-- Multiply the sum by the height.
-- Take 1/2 of the product.

The result is the area.

A triangle has side lengths of 10 inches, 24 inches, and 26 inches. is this a right triangle?

Answers

To check it we can use Pythagorean theorem.
$a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where c is the longest side.
Lets check it
Assume that a=10 and b= 24
$10^2+24^2=100+576=676$
Now lets compare with c^2=676
Its equal, so its right triangle.
