Answer:
x =-35
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5x−3=−17
Add 3 to each side
2/5x−3+3=−17+3
2/5x = -14
Multiply each side by 5/2
5/2 * 2/5x = -14 * 5/2
x = -35
For every negative power you divide by 10
Answer:
28 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle is always equal to 180 degrees so add the degrees together
40+2x+3x=180
40+5x=180
5x/5=140/5
x=28
1/2+1/2=2/2=1 so 1/2 was eaten and the other half was leftovers.
