Answer:

x = -6 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x-4(x+1)|=2

Simplify inside the absolute value by distributing

|3x-4x-4|=2

Combine like terms

|-x-4|=2

Now separate into two equations, one positive and one negative

-x-4 = 2 or -x-4 = -2

Add 4 to each side

-x-4+4 = 2+4 or -x-4 = -2+4

-x = 6 or -x =2

Multiply by -1

x = -6 or x = -2

40. Mike has two electric train sets: A and B. Each train is on its own circular track.

JulsSmile [24]

"He starts both trains at the same time. Train A returns to its starting point every 12 seconds and Train B returns to its starting point every 9 seconds". Basically, what you need to do is find the least common multiple. The least common multiple of 12 and 9 is 36, so the least amount of time, in seconds, that both trains will arrive at the starting points at the same time is 36 seconds.

Austin keeps a right conical basin for the birds in his garden as represented in the diagram. The basin is 40 centimeters deep,

Lina20 [59]

The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exits 51.11cm.

<h3>What is the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim?</h3>

If you draw a line along the middle of the cone, you'd finish up with two right triangles and the line even bisects the angle between the sloping sides. The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exists in the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one angle calculating 38.5°. So, utilizing trigonometry and allowing x as the measurement of the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim.

Cos 38.5 = 40 / x

Solving the value of x, we get

Multiply both sides by x

$$\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right) x=\frac{40}{x} x$

$$\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right) x=40$

Divide both sides by $\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right)$

$$\frac{\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right) x}{\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right)}=\frac{40}{\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right)}$

simplifying the above equation, we get

$$x=\frac{40}{\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right)}$

x = 51.11cm

The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exits 51.11cm.

How do you simplify -2x(x+3)-(x+1)(x-2)

Elena L [17]

1. Distribute the -2x with the (x+3)
2.Multiply (x+1) and (x-2) which is (x2- x -2)
So far it should look like (-2x^2 -6x) - (x^2-x-2)
3. Distribute out the negative
Should look like this -2x^2 -6x - x^2+x+2
4. Lastly combine like terms

Your result should be:
-3x^2 - 5x + 2

Hope this helps!
