Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

The result is eight less than the number means that

the result = number - 8

( x + 7 ) * 2 = x - 8

=> 2x + 14 = x - 8

=> x = -22

Answer: -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

If the sum of a number and seven is doubled, the result is four less than the number. The expression would be

2(x + 7) = x - 4

We would open the bracket on the left hand side of the equation by multiplying each term inside the bracket by 2. It becomes

2x + 14 = x - 4

Subtracting 14 and x from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

2x + 14 - 14 - x =x - x - 4 - 14

x = - 18

What's the distance between (0,2) and (0,8)?

N76 [4]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be calculated with the formula

$\boxed{\textcolor{steelblue}{\text{Distance between 2 points}= \sqrt{(y_1 - y_2)^{2} + (x_1 - x_2)^{2} } }}$

However, since (0, 2) and (0, 8) have the same x coordinate of 0, the distance between them is the difference in their y-coordinates.

Distance between (0, 2) and (0, 8)

= 8 -2

= 6 units

Simplify the expression cos x cot x+ sin x please select the best answer from the choices provided a.0, b.csc x, c. Tan x, d sec

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

$cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}$

$cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x$

$\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1$

Solving for $cos^2 x$ we got $cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x$ and replacing this we got:

$\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x$

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following expression given:

$cos x cot x + sin x$

We know from math properties that the definition for cot is $cot x = \frac{cos x}{sin x}$

If we use this definition we got:

$cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x} + sin x$

$\frac{cos^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

Now we can use the following identity:

$sin^2 x + cos^2 x =1$

Solving for $cos^2 x$ we got $cos^2 x =1 -sin^2 x$ and replacing this we got:

$\frac{1-sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$\frac{1}{sin x} -\frac{sin^2 x}{sin x} +sin x$

$csc x -sin x + sin x = csc x$

And then the best option for this case would be:

b.csc x

What is the range of possible sizes for side x? _ < x < _

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

0.5 < x < 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side of the triangle must be longer than the difference of the other two sides:

x > (8.5 -8.0)

x > 0.5

And it must be shorter than their sum:

x < (8.5 +8.0)

x < 16.5

The third side must be in the range ...

0.5 < x < 16.5

_____

These limits are a direct consequence of the triangle inequality, which requires the sum of the two shortest sides exceed the length of the longest side.
