No, the expressions –0.5(3x 5) and –1.5x 2.5 are not equivalent.

Using the distributive property to expand the first expression, you would get -1.5x - 2.5. Since the constant term does not have the same sign as the second expression, the two expressions are not equivalent.

Also, if you substitute in a value for x and evaluate each expression, the values will not be equal.

erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

King avenue becomes the base

He turns left into the side meet right angle side.

Therefore the hypotenuse cuts through the houses and becomes a measure

Hypotenuse + King Ave B = 3rd Street A

Hypotenuse + 7000mB = 3rd St 5000m A.

H^2= 7m^2B - 5m^2A

√H74 = √25A +√B49

H = √H74 = 8600m

True [87]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\tan x\cos x=\sin x\\\\\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}\\\\\text{Therefore}\\\\\tan x\cos x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}\cdot\cos x\qquad\text{cancel}\ \cos x\\\\\tan x\cos x=\sin x\\\\\text{For}\ x\neq\dfrac{\pi}{2}+k\pi},\ k\in\mathbb{Z}$
