What is the solution to the following question

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

Distribute,

2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

Rearrange terms,

2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

Distribute,

2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

Add the numbers,

2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

Subtract 2 from both sides,

2x + 2 = -3x + 17

2x + 2 - 2 = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 17 - 2

2x  = -3x + 15

Add 3x to both sides,

2x  = -3x + 15

2x + 3x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  = -3x + 3x + 15

5x  =  15

Divide both sides by the same factor (15),

5x  =  15

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 15/5

x = 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

find the coordinate of U' after a 90° counterclockwise rotation of the triangle about the origin and then a translation of 2 uni
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: U' = (0, 1)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

U = (3, -5)

rotate 90° counterclockwise means (x, y) = (-y, x)

new U = (5, 3)

down 2 units means subtract 2 from the y-coordinate

newer U = (5, 1)

left 5 units means subtract 5 from the x-coordinate

U' = (0, 1)

Which formula can be used to find the account balance ??
Ipatiy [6.2K]
It’s b since 3% times 250 equals 7.4 and 7.4 times 14 equals 105 so you add 105 to 250 and you get 355

Find c such that (−3,−8), (−7,−6), and (c,4) lie on a line.
bearhunter [10]
If the 3 points are collinear, then the slopes of all line segments connecting the points are the same.

Thus,

-6 - (-8) 2
m = ------------- = -------- = -1/2
-7 - (-3) -4

Then the following must be true:

4-(-6) 10
-1/2 = ------------ = ---------
c - (-7) c + 7

Cross multiplying, -(c+7) = 20, and c+7 = -20, so that c = -27
