Solve for x for this problem

Mathematics
2 answers:
Morgarella [4.7K]2 years ago

Answer:

x = 5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Square both sides
x - 5 = (x - 5)(x - 5)
2. Simplify the right side
x - 5 = x^2 - 10x + 25
3. Add 5 to both sides
x = x^2 - 10x + 30
4. Subtract x from both sides
0 = x^2 - 11x + 30
5. Factor
0 = (x-5)(x-6)
x = 5,6

Answer:

x = 5 , x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{x-5} = x - 5 ( square both sides )

x - 5 = (x - 5)² ← expand using FOIL

x - 5 = x² - 10x + 25 ← subtract x - 5 from both sides

0 = x² - 11x + 30 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 5)(x - 6) ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

As a check

substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then these values are the solutions.

x = 5

left side = \sqrt{5-5} = \sqrt{0} = 0

right side = 5 - 5 = 0

then x = 5 is a solution

----------------------------------

x = 6

left side = \sqrt{6-5} = \sqrt{1} = 1

right side = 6 - 5 = 1

then x = 6 is a solution

Find the equation of a line that is parallel to y = x + 1 and passes through the point (3,-4).
White raven [17]

Given:

The equation of a line is:

y=x+1

A line is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (3,-4).

To find:

The equation of the line in the slope intercept form.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b             ...(i)

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line.

We have,

y=x+1                ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=1

Slope of the given line is 1.

We know that the slopes of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of the required line is 1.

The required line passes through the point (3,-4) with slope 1. So, the equation of the required line is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y-(-4)=1(x-3)

y+4=x-3

Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get

y=x-3-4

y=x-7

Therefore, the equation of the required line is y=x-7.

What is the solution to the linear equation? d – 10 – 2d + 7 = 8 + d – 10 – 3d
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

d = 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, you want to get like terms next to each other. We'll move the numbers with variables on one side and normal numbers on the other. Since we're changing the sides of the equal sign they're on, this also changes whether their positive or negative.

d - d - 2d + 3d = 10 -7 + 8 - 10

Now that they're together, we can add or subtract them. The variables without numbers can be ones for this equation.

3d = 1

Now we divide 1 by 3 to find what d equals.

3d/3 = 1/3

d = 0.33

Write the following in terms of sin θ and cos θ; then simplify if possible. (Leave your answer in terms of sin θ and/or cos θ.)
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: 1/cos θ

Step-by-step explanation:

From basic trigonometry, csc θ is the short form of cosec θ which is further expressed as

csc θ = 1/sin θ

Also,

tan θ = sin θ/cos θ

Knowing this basis of trigonometry makes the simplification easy for us.

Firstly, expressing the equation in terms of sin θ and cos θ,

The equation becomes csc θ * tan θ = [1/sin θ] * [sin θ/ cos θ]

Further simplifying by multiplication, our answer becomes

1/cos θ
